Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Tom, that's kind of funny.   I personally love listening to someone's highest end achievement and then listening to the rest of the line in lowering order.  Helps me figure out how much trickle down is going on.  I find on so many speaker lines, t... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Jeff, I think that many feel the Treo is thin, because it won't move as much air as a 3 or some other speakers.  What it is, is the entry into a higher resolution speaker.  I personally had it move plenty of air in my room and it never sounded thi...

Ekimg, go talk to Bruce the owner. I used to buy from him in the 80's when I was in the Navy.  Just sold my Stax Lambda's he sold me, lol.  Even had the original box and receipt, lol.  He's a master at room set up also.  Yes, bring in the amp as t... 
Vandersteen Quatro Wood II?
Give them some time folks.  I think we MAY see that change over time. Richard just isn't big on making name changes.  He will often just make mid run changes to a part of the speaker that makes it sound incrementally better, etc... and not make it...

1. not sure.  What year are they?  2. his speakers have always been so neutral and the threes will move more air than the Treo's, just don't expect to get the same tightness etc... Compared to much of the stuff out there now days, I personally fee... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
I know this thread has about run it's course, but had to share how much my wife is LOVING the look of our new Vandersteen Quatro's.  As most know, I got them painted in Havana Black. Highly metallic. My wife LOVES that we will be putting in spot l...

G, thanks.  I did realize about current draw, but your answer put it into better perspective for me.  I am trying like heck to watch what we use and I have installed LED bulbs everywhere in the house and am about to put them in my wood shop too.  ... 
KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6
dan, I don't know why this thread wasn't being updated when I signed in.Heck, I was up near Portsmouth yesterday.  My daughter is doing summer school at UNH, where she captain's the National Champion woman's cheer team, lol.  You are invited when ... 
Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black
Mr M and I are on the same page, lmao.  Bob was teasing, that's for sure.  Bob knows how happy we are, but IF an upgrade is worth it, then we figure out if we can or will afford it.  Personally, I love the sound of the Diamond cable.  I will also ... 
Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black
In my system it's a huge leap. Warmer more organic and much more detail. There is a reason for the price difference imho. That said the Carbon is one of the top cables to me in its range and higher. I'd take it any day over some of the 500 plus US... 
Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black
Thanks for the kind words on my woodworking Bob.  As you know I only took it up about 6 years ago.  Just fun stuff.  I'm waiting on cables, but MUST get an AQ Diamond USB as soon as possibly as I am not getting the most out of my server. Not even ... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
and the wheel turns........lmao.........I was never a 'critical' listener like so many are.  In audio, there are three camps for the most part:1. audiophile who's into the gear first and foremost.  2. Those who are into the music and want it to so... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
wow, I wonder if they had a bad run or something.  I remember reading about something like this over on CA in a thread.  It wasn't a DAVE thread, but talking about something else.  Guys, I have a question.  What is the advantage of keeping the gea...
