| Thiel Owners What an amazing thread guys. Thanks to all who are posting such cool stuff. I love to learn and am open minded (regardless of how I may come off when posting).I have always loved CF and it's usage. When Richard saw some walking sticks I own (I ... | |
| Diminishing Returns For less expensive, very high end speaker, I love the small box Vandersteen's with the carbon tweeter. I heard it scale with an Ayre AX5/20 (my integrated) as well as rock out with the Belles Aries integrated. It's just an amazing speaker.The ET... | |
| Vandersteens on active speakers and room correction I owned TReo's and now own Quatro's. I needed the bass EQ in my room. It's a loft with a 48" high back wall to an open 20' high LR ceiling. Bass is really difficult and the Quatro's nailed it. I've had some very expensive high end speakers in th... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present the wife and I both love the Vandersteen line. Owned Treo's and now Quatro's. Our's are the painted version in Audi Havana Black (you can chose any color you want). They are stunning and we even put LED 4" drops above them to show off the high ... | |
| Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier? I've heard the Belles running some really expensive gear and it fit right in. I think it's because it has plenty of current to run difficult speaker loads and it's tonally balanced. I believe that's why I've never heard anyone say they don't lik... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD .I wanted to let folks know that Matt is writing for TAS and another pub (sorry Matt, I forgot which one). For those who talk to him and know him, he's a great writer and very thorough in his reviews. I'm blessed to have found this thread years ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? There will always be folks who say ti doesn't matter, but they aren't listening to my system, I promise you that. When I installed the new AQ Hurricane power cords in my system, I never told my wife. Everything is hidden by plants etc, so you ca... | |
| speaker stands--general considerations Guys, I have to disagree with some of what you are saying IRT floor standing speakers. I own Vandersteen's and the Treo on up have been designed to be placed close to the back wall and still give you a great stage etc... I have Quatro's with the... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero Sorry I missed all the posts. Someone asked about William Tell zero with bass vs Castle Rock. I owned Castle Rock and installed the WT zero/bass. It was a HUGE difference. It was as though I bought a new amp and preamp that were a few rungs up t... | |
| speaker stands--general considerations Call ME crazy, but why buy a stand mounted speaker that takes up a footprint and needs to be further out in the room that a properly designed floor stander? I've always felt this way. Vandersteen started the baffleless floor stander in his model... | |
| Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1 Hope that folks decide to support the dealer network. | |
| Heard the Computer Audio Design GC1 Thanks for sharing. Where did you purchase it? I know they only have a small group of trained dealers. | |
| Looking into speaker upgrade/change? I"m a Vandersteen guy and would always tell folks to put them on your short list. There is a reason that Vandersteen has been so successful, even while not advertising as much as Wilson, B&W and others. They are your ears in your room. Glad ... | |
| Looking into speaker upgrade/change? The Mimas is my favorite integrated at that price point for most speakers. It's a killer product. The Clayton is very nice amp especially for the cost. It seems to have plenty of drive to run most speakers. In the 7k down price range you have ... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero they may not want to sell under that. DBS is to deplete the charge from building up on the cable or something like that. I doubt length has anything to do with DBS (or visa versa). I haven't heard those specific combo's, but the bi wire is goin... |
