| Richard Vandersteen at Audio Connection String, that's funny stuff. I agree though, lol. Wish I could see Richard when he visits Johnny in Nov, but I won't be able to. I can't fit so many of the larger amps into my rack, but the M5's look like a nice slim looking cabinet that I will h... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations I'm a Vandy guy and would go with a set of Treo's. I fully understand what your wife is feeling. I honestly do, but you do need better electronics. the Pre and DAC are sooooo important. Go see Rutan at Audio Connection. He has the Ayre Codex D... | |
| Dynaudio Contour C60 or Magico A3 or Vandersteen Treo CT I have heard all three. I owned the Treo's and LOVED them. I sold them to an AG member who also loves them. I upgraded to the Quatro as I wanted the bass control and more powerful bass for my room. The steen's are just so clear. Micro and macro... | |
| How much? I'm also retired/disabled. I will listen to music for over 10 hours on some days when I can't leave the house. Some days I'll only listen for a couple of hours. I do listen on the go with my custom in ear monitors (Phantom's from Empire Ears) w... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Quatro ct which do you choose? I had the regular Treo's and LOVED them. I now own the Quatro CT (painted in Audi Havana Black). There are differences in the drivers for sure. That ceramic tweeter in the 5a is a great tweeter, but the CT tweeter does take things to the next l... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Sky, I sold my beloved Treo's to GNB. I wanted him to come up to pick them up so he could hear them. Sold on the spot! They were very close to the wall too. Less than a foot. They worked GREAT. Johnny R set them up and he did a wonderful job.... | |
| Amplifier for my new Focal Sopra no2 Lot's of good options for you. I'm running an Ayre AX5/20 with my Vandy Quatro's and love it. Will be upgrading to Richard's new mono blocks I think, but if you can find a used AX5/20, it's a nice combo with your speakers. I've heard this comb... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under I have liked some of the Revel's I've heard in the past. I know they just redid the line if I recall. | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show Thanks Jim. I think I want the new M5 mono blocks and eventually maybe the smaller subs lol. | |
| John Atkinson's thoughts on the New Vandersteen System Nine from LA Show wow, I reread much of this thread and found it fascinating. I was talking with a designer yesterday about real world listening vs listening in a chamber. It makes sense to listen and voice in a real room since that's what most of us listen in an... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? On Oct 10th, I'll be taking delivery of an all in one The Memory Player by Sam Laufer's company. www.thememoryplayer.net He has updated his DAC offering in the player and souped it up big time. It's the best server I've ever heard by far and t... | |

| another what speaker cable for vandersteen Charger, is there anything on the net about them? I may just have to ask directly, lol. Firebird is the name of the speaker cables was told. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Charger, thanks. Yes, I'm really excited about these cables. AQ needed a full upgrade to the line I think. | |
| Planar/panel speakers to replace Carver Amazings Thanks bdp. I know of a few folks who do the same thing. If you have a chance, get a hold of a couple of the new Vandersteen subs for 2500 each and cross it over around 100hz or so. Possibly 120hz and dial in the EQ to smooth the bass in your r... |
