| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range He probably has seen and or heard a few speakers in this range and wanted advice before auditions. I had a great pair of speakers and they were only around 8k, but I heard a pair at 14k that was nearly the same, but has built in subs that had roo... | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair audiozen, congrats on liking only off the radar companies. Good luck with auditioning everything before purchase. Also, good luck when the company eventually fails and you need work and you can't find the drivers for a pair of speakers. As I sa... | |
| Budget American made speakers? Tomic, thanks for the feedback. I need to get over there when I get back to Madison to see the grandkid and step family, lol. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier Yes I still have the AX5/20 integrated. Loving it. I had the Vandersteen crossover built into it. I'll probably get his new 15k mono's in teh house and make the switch if they really are as good as a friend has told me they are. | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? Funny as folks get mad at me when I tell them to try adn purchase his newest models as he really does upgrade constantly. It's also nice to be able to get some of the upgrades after you have owned your speakers for a few years for a nominal fee. ... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Update on servers...The Memory Player is the player that's now in the lead on the Best DAC for CD thread. Matt, who is the OP and has kept the thread going for a few years now just bought it. I will probably also get it. Just alot of amazing se... | |
| Suitable affordable speakers for Cary Cad 805AE You will need to go listen. I have found them to be a bit fatiguing to my ears, but I have a few friends who like them. The nice thing is that the amps are not hot on top so it could potential match. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, you're on deck buddy! Also let me know how that works out with the power devices. AS you know I'm having a new circuit and sub box with it's own ground installed in two weeks I think. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier I always demo before purchasing. YEs, I'll have the VAndy amps in the house to audition. | |
| Budget American made speakers? Where in Wisky are you? My wife is from Wasusa and two of her kids live in Madtown. Some good audio stores left in Wisc. Never been to Ultra Fidelis, but have heard great things about them. My wife used to actually live in teh same town, Wauwat... | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? There was a reason CJ purchased McCormick back in the day. I too owned a CJ pre as well as a passive pre. Both sounded awesome with it. Just well designed gear. So often we see dealers who carry Vandersteen also carry the same amps as the othe... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Lot's of good options depending on your taste. I've heard most of the recommendations and for my ear many are tilted up too much in the high end, but others love that sound. I will often use the term WAF, but to me that just stereotypes us. My ... | |
| Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair audiozen has a beef with Vandersteen and it shows in your posts. That alone makes anyone question what you say. You have the general idea about pricing down, but not in all cases. That's a fact. You speak in absolute terms and fail to realize t... | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier That it is. Teh only reason I may be selling is to upgrade to the new Vandersteen mono blocks. This is still, to my ears, the integrated to beat under 20k. | |
| Vandersteen Amp? and HRS footers. Crazy stuff when you think about it. Wonder why others don't do the same. |
