| Porsche I appreciate the input above about foregoing the Burmeister | |
| Porsche +1 papafrogAbout 9 years ago I made the big mistake of buying a 2002 911 with an aftermarket supercharger. Intent was to buy an 85-99 air cooled 911, but didn’t feel comfortable in an 86 Targa as I’m a bigger guy. It was so fun to drive, but there... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system Thank you for your kind words. Sent you a PM | |
| Helping a friend build a new system The suggestion above to visit with John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona NJ is a great one. I think he might steer you towards ProAc with the tube integrated, as he seems to favor solid state with Vandys unless you feed them much higher tube wa... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I’m a Vandersteen fan, and think the VLR would be a better choice room-wise. The 1Ci should be pulled out at least 3 feet into the room to sound great. The VLR or used Treos could be placed 1 foot from the front wall (your friend’s requirement) wi... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system Since Fritz has weighed in, perhaps he could comment on the ideal positioning of his speakers? | |
| Helping a friend build a new system Thank you tomic601. I know we have a mutual appreciation of Vandersteen. | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I love 2 way speakers. They disappear and image like no other. They are the biggest bang for the buck in my opinion. I have my sights on a Stenheim Alumine 2 SE as my end game speaker. The Fritz Carrera Be punches way above its weight class. Proba... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I mean, who wants to move their speakers every time they enter the room and want to listen? | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I still would be tempted to go with Fritz | |
| Helping a friend build a new system Folks—he has already bought the VTL integrated. Let us help him from here !!!!! The Harbeth P3-ESR is the classic small room speaker. So called pipe and slippers. I will be honest and say I have never heard them, but pair them with a REL T7i su... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system While it doesn’t have brand name recognition, the Watkins Generation IV recommended earlier is a helluva speaker per Dick Olsher (a tube equipment reviewer) for 2K new, and is sensitive enough to be easily driven by the VTL IT-85. Would leave mone... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I would caution against the Klipsch Heresy in that room. Before going with Vandersteen VRL CT, I purchased the sealed Heresy III. It seemed like it should be a good match for the room with the ability to place near the wall, and controlled directi... | |
| Helping a friend build a new system I have a similar sized room, and wanted speakers that could be placed 1 foot from the front wall. Would advise a sealed or front ported speaker. I went with a Vandersteen VRL CT standmount speaker and I’m very happy. Have a Vandersteen Sub3 subwoo... | |
| High Quality dac with network streamer saves $1,000s OP—> I too found value to the information you provided, and I thank you for that. I may consider going down this path myself for a smaller den/library system. I have to agree with the previous post, however, that your writing would be much bett... |
