| It is balanced or not? @joser,That was Ralph (Atmasphere).B | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten @o_holter ,Yes, I did try some Zu Union speakers, but they were not as good as the Vandy's-IMHO.I did speak to Ralph when I bought the amps and he thought they are a good match. Even Richard Vandersteen said his speakers sounded better being run w... | |
| It is balanced or not? Sounds like an Atmasphere question to me...Sorry, OP, but I am not an expert on wiring, but Ralph would be one of the people who give you the correct answer.Bob | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble @erik_squires , - How many consumers of high end gear are easily duped by it. I think a large chunk of those with disposable wealth will be victims of dealer deceit, but mostly from their belief that paying more equates with getting the 'best'- ... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten @pstores ,I run the Vandy Treo's with MA-1's, too. Vandy's aren't so inefficient as to the point of taxing an amp to clip or distort.I probably could have gotten by with a pair of M60's, given that I don't listen to music loudly.@o_holter ,I know ... | |
| I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase @OP,Sometimes, it is better to have simplicity.Your T777 should be more than adequate to power the Vandy VLR's.I have no experience with the other speakers you listed.B | |

| I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase @sttt,Millercarbon is correct. You will achieve better results with a better amp and preamp.I would recommend a pair of Vandersteen VLR's, but be sure to put them near the corners.Many know me as a Vandy fanboy, but I have to say they really are q... | |
| SS Amp Designer by Reputation Also, McCormack, which should fit your budget. And, you can have SMcAudio upgrade it.What are your other components?That would help in narrowing down the choices.Bob | |
| Exceptional vendor support Great Post!I think it is always a good thing to post about positive experiences.And, yes, many small/medium/ and a few large manufacturers offer great customer service out of love for their craft.Bob | |
| A21+ is in da house... Sugden or Parasound?B | |
| How to tell if some one legit @sfseay,Everyone has to start somewhere.Just because there is no prior feedback, doesn't mean the seller is dishonest.If possible, try to get the sellers phone number and give them a call.I, too, started with no feedback, but many Agoner's are ver... | |
| How to tell if some one legit Agon has some good policies for both buyers and sellers.If you are suspicious of a seller, I would contact Tammy and provide her with the info., then go from there.Bob | |
