| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? I have a small Linn Kiko system in the bedroom. Looks' great, but it's a built in and the design of the speakers doesn't work. I have a feeling that I will just sell the Kiko and then get the new VLR's with one of the small integrated amps and c... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? I laugh when reading threads like this. It's as though there is an absolute or holy grail. All materials have different properties. All speakers have compromises. Designers figure out what they want for their sound and build/design accordingly... | |
| Interesting video with Richard Vandersteen talking about his subs I heard those 4's many times. I forgot they were powered subs. They were a big ass speaker for sure. | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts Underpowering any speaker can ruin it. Any amp that isn't up to snuff can ruin ..... Bottom line is that it's hard to buy a used speaker. Plenty of folks do and are happy, but I've heard so many horror stories about used speaker buys. I have s... | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts I couldn't agree more atmosphere. It kills me reading about folks wanting a speaker that is good for this or that. This myth is long standing for sure and just silly. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Maybe it was the rest of the system George, but that's what I heard each time I've heard teh Simaudio. If I have a chance to listen again, I will as long as it's not with similar gear that I've heard it with already. I've never said never about a... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Thanks Charger. Garth is a great guy. I can't wait for his 'next' set of products that I'm sure he's working on. He just gets it so no matter what he's working on, I'm sure it will be awesome. | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). I almost went for the Dragon to be honest. I probably should have for my short source to preamp/integrated connection, but I decided to go all Hurricane in the end as I only have the Vandersteen Quatro CT's and will probable get the new Vanderste... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I'm very familiar with that cup and to my ear, it was like most of the Sim Audio gear. It's fatiguing to me as well as a few others I'm close with. It doesn't matter what type of dac design George. There are good and bad on all sides and just b... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under That would be cool and I'd love to hear your thoughts if you do. Here is one misconception in audio. All the companies who claim that going dealer direct will give you more bang for you buck aren't always doing that. Due to economy of scale as ... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). I have been into audio since 1969 and have heard a good difference constantly when listening to components with a top upgraded cord, but I have held out until last week. I got to spend time with Garth, Richard Vandersteen and Alex (formerly with ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Which post was removed? What happened? LOL...Was the bluejeans post removed because it looked like an ad? I cna't keep up, lol.In any case I have enjoyed the Diamond cable from Audioquest, the WW cables (they just make great digital cables (I ow... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under Volsfan, I know those speakers and they are very good, but speakers are the most subjective component you can get. Looks as well as sound. There is no speaker at any price that is the best looking or best sounding, lol. Yes, I've heard nothing ... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under trknomo, have you checked out Johnny at Audio Connections? That may have been where you heard the ProAcs, but I didn't see where you auditioned the Vandersteen's or B&W's. You are blessed in that you can go audition a lot of speakers to make... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under trknomo OP28 posts07-03-2018 7:07pm@ctsooner Yes I do agree, I have to use my own ears and my own music to audition thats the mistake I made the first go around and learned my lesson. Dealers I originally trusted I soon came to realize the line of... |
