| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Funny Randy as I was a Proac guy and did that audition (before the ribbon tweeter) and became a Vandy guy. Are you in NJ or Dallas? I think those are the two who carry both? lol | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Are you talking about the crossovers? Yes, adding subs you will only run your main amp from 100hz on up so it frees it up to sound better. Richard has shared that in order to integrate a sub, you need a full range speaker with a one octave cross... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Interesting M. Personally, I go with the Quatro all day long. I"m really big on coherency and I also need matching subs in a system. That's just me, but many do like the Treo better with the subs. SUB...jective, right? lol | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Hifiman....that's one of the best ways to answer this question (that's always being asked). Funny as I was a Proac guy for years and years. I didn't like Vandy's until the last few years. I think I just realized what the music was all about and... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade I've been very happy with the ceramic tweeter. I just want the bass control for my room. I spoke with Richard about the differences in the two. I have heard the CT speakers since day one. I personally think they are the top tweeters I've ever he... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade D, give me a call tomorrow and we can figure it out, lmao....also I'm hoping to get out to Madtown again in OCT with the wife. If so, I will plan a meeting ;)....LOL. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD lxgreen, I'm sure the Yggy is a nice DAC, but you really need to go out and listen to the DAC's being discussed in this thread before making the statement that nothing will beat the Schitt at any price. Sorry, but there are many in this thread al... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Carmenc, you have an email and PM, lol. Let's talk about the Treo's I'm selling. Hifiman shared the biggest difference. Richards ceramic tweeter coating has done a great job at stopping most of the ringing, but the CT is better and that's why i... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade thanks Johnny. The difference isn't huge, but it's there. A bit larger soundstage, some extra coherency and a touch more natural on the top end, but not a huge difference. Carmenc, as I said, I'm selling my Treo's in cherry to move up to Quatro... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I have run a few DAC's in my system and have owned the OSDE/SE. I use a turntable still, so I need a preamp, but I, like most, wanted to hear the differences. I have never chosen driving directly. I lose a bit of dynamics and the sound staging ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Well put Hifiman. @ig316b, where do you live again? The thing about the Treo's is that they are SOOOO good as the price. Bass is the most expensive thing to do correctly. that's where most of the manufacturer's seem to make the most compromise... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ketch, thanks so much. I'm not surprised at all. The OSDE/SE is such an exceptional DAC to begin with. Steven shared some of the upgrades he did and who time consuming they are. It's a labor of love, that's for sure. For those who want to get... | |
| Ayre now has a new QX-5 all in one Got to hear it at the Northeast premier last weekend. I liked what I heard, but it only had 30 hours on it. At the end of the day when everyone left it really started to open up and the bass started to get solid. It will keep getting better up ... | |
| preamp for vandersteen Quatro String, I get it. I totally do. Johnny's not the only one I may do business with, but he's MY guy. I've visited so many of the high end store fronts over the years that I think I may have hit over 50% of them, lol. Nearly all of the major city s... | |
| preamp for vandersteen Quatro What it means is that it needs 300-500 to sound it's best, so with only 30 hours on it, it's not even close to what it will sound like. I spoke with someone who's listened to a fully broken in one and it's going to be just like my AX-5 Twenty.As ... |
