| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? I really am amazed at some of the comments about the Ayre. I owned the Empirical OSDE/SE and nearly upgraded to the OSDX. I have had the Dave, Berk Ref mk 2 as well as many other DAC's. I"ve listened to the Trinity Ref DAC, the DCS DAC systems ... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Wait until you get the speakers up and running. Like anything, give them a legit break in as they need it every time they are moved. Listen to Johnny and he'll make sure you get everyone out of them that they can do. You heard how good they soun... | |
| Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP. I personally love how Richard Vandersteen goes about making his subs. Both the WQ as well as his newer high end one that goes with the 7mkII's or any other higher end speaker you may be using. Matches so well with other top end full range speaker... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I will be when I get them. They will be very special for sure. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation So happy for you getting the Quatro's. Still waiting on mine as I told them to hold off a bit as I was away for two weeks. I'm missing my system and than goodness I have some good headphones to use while everything is away getting updates and cr... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Congrats. So happy for you. Johnny will take care of you as you know. Set up is key. Yes Richard is as available as anyone I've ever met in this or any industry. I'll be in shock if you want to get rid of these in the next many years lol. Guys... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Congrats on getting the Vandys. Richard does Such a great job with his speakers. He really puts his passion into every speaker and we get to enjoy the fruits of his labor/passion | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? Excellent thread. Thanks for keeping it going. I can't wait to get my new Quatro's also. I asked Richard to shoot Audi Havana black as my paint. I was going to get the zebrawood, but in the end decided to have them painted. As for cabling, I love... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? NO. Honestly, I'd go straight into the wall for power amps of any sort. I'm redoing my whole digital and electrical. I'll be selling the SR Powercell 10 mk2 most probably. I like some of these devices for a preamp or source as they don't draw a ... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I'd make sure you went to audition the speakers you have chosen to listen to before purchasing online used. JMHO, but I have seen way too many chasing their tails and losing money trying to find the speaker they would have found if they listened ... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? The 7000 is a great power tool (whatever we call them now) and works great. I'm still not sold on using one for amps though. I've heard of folks having the problem you talk about with their amps. Are you able to borrow one from your dealer? If ... | |
| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? How cool is that!!! Happy for you. I'll be getting my Quatro's when I get back from Nepal in the middle of Feb!! What color did you go with? | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Of course. I'd love that. Would be a lot of fun. You can audition etc, but we'll have to take a listen to the Vandersteen 7's with all the top gear, lol. It will be an eye opener. Also will do the Maggies upstairs. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Great list you have. Not too many and all different tastes. The winner will come to light for you quickly. I'm hearing out to Nepal for a family wedding and will be back on the 10th of Feb. If you are heading out to audition after that, let me... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Bob, what if you kept the speakers for a long time and you blew a driver? The money you'd get back would be zero as you most probably could never get them fixed properly. When purchasing components at or above the 10k mark, I don't want to take ... |
