Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Great thread.  I personally listen with my ears and then make decisions.  I have owned the first Treo's adn now own the Quatro CT painted (an option for the Treo on up and worth it if you love the painted look). What Richard has done with carbon f...

Guys, I messed up. Saw a lot and wiht the MS, I can forget some details for sure.  It was the Elrod top power cords.  Look like a python swallowing a small animal, lol.

Wow, what a treat.  Finally got to Matt's house (thanks Sam for driving)!  Wonderful room adn system guys.  It was a true treat for a guy like me to enjoy 'guy' time with two close friends and also listen to a serious system.  Got to enjoy time wi... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
There are a few ways to get what you want for bass.  Nothing is difficult in set up, but it will take time to get it right no matter what you have.  Integrating a sub can be difficult.  I personally do like EQ (analog) as it smoothed out the bass ... 
Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs
I just got a new laser level and Bosch laser measuring tool.  Tomic, where should I have the tweeters pointing on a rear wall?  I have a long room and sit about 8' or so from the speakers.  Johnny set it up and I'm wanting to dial it in a spec.  I...

To the good people on this thread, I have been very happy with the 11 band eq Richard uses in my Quatro's as it really fixed the problems I was having.  Very very happy with the sound that I'm getting in a very difficult room.  I look forward to f... 
Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs
yes tastes do change.  I know mine have as I've grown older and heard better and better quality equipment.  I had Johnny Rutan come in and set them up properly.  I was amazed at how he set them up, but they are really sounding great.  It's amazing... 
Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs
If they sounded sterile and glaring, I can almost promise something was wrong in the room or set up.  Often times it's the room for any speaker to sound totally different than most people hear them.  I had the Treo non CT and LOVED them. Coherent,... 
Speaker recomendation
No question.  The problem with speaker is that they are soooo difficult to audition in teh home.  Too big and bulky and it still takes time to dial them in.  If you live near a dealer that you trust and like, then it can be done.  That's why I get... 
Speaker recomendation
Since my last post was removed, I'll repost.  I'd go listen to as many speakers as you can of course.  That's for anything you purchase as we all know.  There are many different sounding speakers in this group.  Go listen to some live music and th... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
Funny as I've been ready to get the Audioquest power cables, but am thinking I really need to get my acoustics down first.  That will make a larger upgrade in sound than even great power cords regardless of how great they are (they too are a compo... 
RIP Dave Wilson
Thanks for sharing rx8man.  There are some terrible people in this world.  As for Al, it does take a big man to show up let alone say what you did was wrong.  Respect for that.  What folks don't always understand is that the Wilson's are good peop... 
Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs
Heck, go all out and have them painted in any auto color you want, lol.  I paid a big upcharge for Audi Havana Black and have not looked back.. I then spend 100 extra and installed a 4" down light can above each speaker, lol.I will then install a ... 
What used speakers raraely come up for sale
I don't follow that very much to be honest.  That either makes me non biased or clueless. ;).  I'll take the later, lol.
