| Calling all Vandersteen Fans great stuff and thanks for sharing. | |
| Krell Digital Vanguard audiosaurusrex, if you are using the Vandys, get the best Audioquest cable you can afford. Richard voices his speakers with them and most of us use them with any of his speakers. just very neutral cables. I've been thinking about selling my Cas... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans YOu'll probably love them the way most do. They are such a great value still.I caution you to NOT solder those cables. It is not the best connection. Are you getting them terminated by the dealer or from the company? I don't know if AQ sells th... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans 05-17-2019 11:26amI use an Ayre AX5/20 with built in cross over. Off topic: I thought you moved on from the Ayre? I love my AX-5 Twenty, probably the best piece I will ever own. I decided I couldn't wait to save for Treo CTs and bought used Thiel ... | |
| Krell Digital Vanguard Fuse changes aren't always going to help the sound. I've heard fuse changes on a few amps and pre amps with varying results. YMMV | |
| Speaker advice for listening to Blues music new to this thread. Cedar, did you get the Vandy's in for audition? Hopefully you can audition some of these speakers. | |
| Just purchased a Belles 150A Reference amp. Watch should my preamp be.. Can't go wrong with Belles in most situations. I know folks who like their sound 'hot' and others who can't handle that. The Belles sings in both types of systems as they are kind of a chameleon type of amp. Pretty neutral. | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... The one thing that most will agree on is that any speaker is compromised. You need to find a manufacture that you like as we all hear differently regardless of room interactions etc... All type of speakers have their problems regardless of what ... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans Very nice of Jim to offer for sure. I have found that the AQ cables/cords are the most neutral I've ever tried with my Steen's (Quatro) and it's not close. I use an Ayre AX5/20 with built in cross over. It's a killer set up that could be a bit h... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? nyaudio, I've mentioned Tidal a few times. VAndy first and then Tidal for my. Love the Rockport Lyra also. Totally different sounding speakers, but all so nice. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Looks like I'll be getting TMP/DAC back in a couple of weeks or so. I can't wait to get music again. Sam is also going to help me mount my speakers on their new 3" granite plinths. I had them glue the slabs with a special silicone glue for vibra... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here I personally feel that the Tidal and Vandersteen's are my favorites. Totally different speakers. Once I learned what Vandersteen has inside from drivers to a box in a box to custom made drivers made out of a special carbon fiber, I realize why t... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Joey, I love your list, lol. The 7 mk2 are surreal for their price (compared to well over 6 figure speakers. I have owned the Treo (now have Quatro). Heard that Harbeth in FL and fell in love. They are really nice, but for that price I'll take ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks for sharing. I think mine is WAV64. It was downloaded by Sam, so I'm not sure. I also don't use Roon yet, but want to down the line. I know he's be swamped with a lot of business stuff as well as some personal stuff. Not an excuse, but ... | |
| Replacing Vintage Spendors is not as easy as I thought Agree on Proac ribbons. The first ones I've had zero fatigue with. AN (their more expensive ones with all silver caps and wiring) were musical in the way an FM car radio is/was. They just didn't move me. I like the Harbeth's better, but I like ... |
