| Calling all Vandersteen Fans @tomic601 .That's a nice offer. But, beware. I loaned a CD demagnetizer to another Agoner and never got it back.😠-no matter, I haven't opened a CD in years after finding streaming music-(though demagnetizing CD's did make a difference).Bob | |
| Vandersteen VLR CT My VLR's are mounted near the ceiling/corners of the room with a little downward tilt and angling toward my desk.I wish I could listen a little further away, but that is where they have to go.I love the way they sound.( I had a pair of Zu Omen Boo... | |

| Amp for nee LRS Maggies Hmm. 4 ohms on those speakers.What is your budget?Bob | |
| Thinking about a digital media player. No streaming. But there's a problem... I think Aurrender makes something like what you are looking for.If I recall correctly, it had a remote with all the info. It sounded good, too.Bob | |
