| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Do what JohnnyR says. I can PROMISE you that there is none better in setting up a Vandy set up. I've been to nearly all the dealers in this country that do high end over the years and he's as good as anyone. Time for me to get my own list together... | |
| DAC for iMac System I have heard a bunch of the sub 2k DAC's since I was in that market. I wanted balanced since my Ayre is balanced. Most under 1k aren't balanced. I thought that most of the sub 1k DACs didn't do piano correctly. Too digital for my ears and my syste... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Troy. congrats. I'm sure you're very excited. Who's your dealer? | |
| DAC for iMac System Try and find a Music Hall 25.2 used. I have the .3 and am loving it and I have a very revealing system. | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage I've heard the 5A's driven with 125 Ayre watts and they sang. The nice thing is that you are only using the amp to power the mids and above as they have self powered subs. That's why you use the crossover. I totally agree with you on the SF's....t... | |
| Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions? Zephyr, where do you live? Who's' your local dealer? | |
| Celestion Model 100 enquiry I used to love playing with the Celestions. I liked them best with tube gear. They had a pair made with aluminum honeycombing like the floor of jets. | |
| Vandy or Maggy? You won't go wrong with most of the suggestions. I only worry about having to integrate a sub with a speaker. You have to use other tools etc... and at that point, I would think getting a full range speaker (or close to it) would be the best choic... | |
| Center/surround for Vandersteen Quatro Ask Johnny from Audio Connections. HE is honest and sells the Vandy's. His specialty is proper matching and proper set up. I have yet to meet anyone as good as he is at this for both two channel as well as proper 4 channel. He's in NJ and posts on... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage All you have to do is go listen to the Vandys and crank it up if you want. They just always sound right regardless of volume. I've heard every speaker he makes right now and they are all like that. I always wonder what 'loud' is to so many people ... | |
| Legacy Audio AERIS: RMAF/listening impressions? Like I said, the Legacy was my second choice, but to ME, I didn't like it as much as I like the Vandy at a similar or less price point. I won't do the DSP thing right now. I hated the last gen driver the Legacy used. I heard it set up at a dealer ... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? "Tuneful Bass" is how I described the base I heard on the Vandy's at Audio connection. He always has them set up properly right down to the cables that are realistic in whatever the price range of the speaker, so it's realistic. I guess to me that... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Actually the Vandy's don't use an aluminum, they use a ceramic coated tweeter. This thing is amazing. Yes, it's detailed and it's extended, but it's natural. I have Proacs and love their staging and imaging, but they can be forward and a bit hot o... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? You have answered yourself a few times in your posts I think. Sounds like you have had Maggies and are sick of it's drawbacks. No way you can make a Maggie be more dynamic in your price range. I'd get a pair of Vandy's in your room if you have a l... | |
| Vandersteen Treo's Yes, Im' in Berlin on the way down to Audio Connection. I"m going to get there next week probably as I have a three pair of Proacs, a couple of Onix integrateds, Krell Stealth DAC, Stax headphones and a ton more to sell along with my Quick Silver ... |
