LOL,, of course Matt.  Call if you have some time tomorrow. I have to take the wife to Brooklyn for an all day seminar and then to LaGuardia. I"ll drop her off around 9:30 and then head to the city to see what shops are open.  I haven't really bee...

has this thread finally had it's last gasps?  I hope not as it's been a great thread and helped many of us out.  I finally have my Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC fully burned in and it's sounding incredible.  I'm hearing things I haven't heard before and the... 
Wanted to share this review of Vandersteen Quatro CT's in Positive Feedback
I hear the differences, but yes they are subtle.  I have the regular Treo's, and they are more than satisfying.  Now with my Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC, they are moving more air than I thought they could.  Amazing how they are rocking.  The CT's are very... 
Wanted to share this review of Vandersteen Quatro CT's in Positive Feedback
2psyop, so true.  The Quatro is the sweet spot, but the Treo CT is a very special speaker for the 8500 or so (I don't really know off hand).  I am getting a bunch of offers right now for my regular Treo's. They aren't quite the CT's, but they get ...

The Treo CT's were rated very highly by TAS and others.  They really are special for speakers under 10k and more.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/vandersteen-audio-treo-ct-loudspeaker/Neil Gater's last line says it all:Neil’s conclusion: "...

My Treo's in the CT version go for 8k I believe.  They would go against the W11 and cost a bit less.  I'd love to hear them in a similar system.  I may seriously look for a dealer in NYC.  Does anyone know of any? 
speakers for listener with Tinnitus
Completely agree on headphone and IEM's....It's really sad how kids are killing their hearing as they tune out the outer world.

Thanks bless.  Love the name ;)....lol....I have a lot of Vandersteen friends if you would and a few have mentioned the Boenicke as speakers they would have on their short list a long with the Vandy's.  I'll get to hear them one of these days.  Pe... 
speakers for listener with Tinnitus
Guys, the biggest things to remember are implementation.  I have owned many silk domes and loved them, but I've also heard many that were tipped up on top would not be the right choice for him.  That's one reason I mentioned speakers that have pis...

First off why are you yelling?  This thread is on the second page so it's been going for a bit.  Where is the other thread?  Many of us don't just look at all the threads to see where there are extras.  Usually once a thread makes two pages, it ha... 
Wanted to share this review of Vandersteen Quatro CT's in Positive Feedback
I'm highly familiar with both and the Quatro in my system is still better than the 5 non CT version.  I have Treo's right now and have them up for sale on another site as I want the Quatro.  I purchase Vandersteen's new because that's the only way...

interesting read.  Bass is the most expensive part of the spectrum to properly reproduce.  It just is for many reasons.  I read someone above talk about adding extra cone area to produce more sound pressure, but that does add so many more problems... 
speakers for listener with Tinnitus
Erik makes a great point.  Don't worry about what you would have looked for in years past, look for something that is just enjoyable to you.  I bet the speakers you would have had will be different from what you will want now.  Personally, I would...

Thanks Ketch.   I so appreciate your thoughts and respect what you have to share.  I'm not surprised in the least as Steve makes a great DAC.   I still need to speak with you about my ethernet system I need to set up.  I'm in the hospital for the ... 
Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one
Oh, just read about it.  It's redundant in the system I'm doing.  The Melco takes care of the clean signal.  It's a direct ethernet connection to the Ayre QX5 Twenty.  I'll be using the streaming device in the Ayre and not using the one in the Mel...
