Vandersteen Kento Specs Released
Bob, that will be fun for you I'm sure.  I can't wait to hear the Kēnto.   
Paradigm Persona series
No problems at all.  Jeff and I didn't always agree on things we heard.  We liked some of the same gear, but not all.  Both of us know what we heard with the 9H's and have heard at others places.  This is now the first time you have brought up the...

The mid and mid woofer are woven fiber units.  The bass is a carbon/celluos cone.Richard went with those 7 drivers (also matched to the same tolerances I bet to get identical L/R speakers.  I was told that it is very close to the 7's and not to th...

I just spoke with two folks who spent considerable time in the Audio Alternative room with Vandersteen.  Both were amazed.  They do use the same top drivers as the 7's and also use the 7 amp.  they have the same type of HRS vibration control and t...

So the Kēnto has been released to the wild.  Rick had an amazing set up at the RMAF from what I was told by a few who attended.  Heard that the new push pull aluminum woofers mated with the same carbon fiber drivers of the 7 is a killer combo.  Ca...

I can see where many wouldn't like the woofer cover.  That said, I have my Quatro's painted in black metallic.  I promise you that you wouldnt' even see the cover in that paint job.  you can also get the lighter colored or gray colored cloth's.  I... 
Got to visit Audio Alternatives
Heard that the Kēnto really blew folks out of the water.  Told they they will quickly become the go to under 40k for many.  I can't wait to hear them.  Very exciting times.

Troy, you constantly try to poke holes in so many who feel they are tipped up adn fatiguing regardless of upstream equipment.  You sell them so of course you are going to make excuses.  I went to your place to hear them with Jeff (RIP buddy) and n...

Contuzzi,I feel strongly that you are way off base.  We all hear differently and therefore enjoy different speakers and gear.  I get sick of hearing about terrible sets up, poor sounding rooms etc... I've heard them set up in very good to poor roo... 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
He is a great designer.  Many great ones out there, but most folks don't know about their gear etc...  This is why the brick and mortar stores are so important and why I frequent them when purchasing.  You can hear gear and how it pairs with what ... 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
The best sub I've heard under 5k is the Vandersteen Sub 3.  It has the same amp with an 11 band EQ built in.  Roughly the same one I have built into my Quatro's.  You can dial it in no matter your situation.  Unlike digital EQ, you can't hear it a...

hope you guys have fun.  I do wish I could have gotten down there, but the MS fatigue has really hit me this summer.  Have fun. 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
Guys, if you are talking amps and Atma's, you need to seriously consider Quicksilver as well as Aesthetix gear.  When looking for electronics, I strongly feel that putting more money into a preamp is worth it.  Give me a great pre with a good amp ...

I love those Treo's man.  I really do.   
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
