| Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64 - I've Finally Found What I've Been Looking For! I got the Mini last year, but things got crazy and I didn't have time to get things set up. When I did, Sam was busy.By that time he was ready, I was getting busy again.So, I am still waiting for him to get things organized. He did install some up... | |
| Louis Chochos from Omega Speaker Systems Thanks for posting. A quick Google show he is in CT.I never heard of him, but I'd like to try to hear a pair of his speakers.Bob | |
| Best way to spike a large tower ( 100 lbs +) That speaker jack from Wilson is just an overpriced version of this: https://www.calcarcover.com/product/low-profile-billet-aluminum-jack/705 Still better is to have another person hold the speaker while you insert and level the spike. As the ol... | |
| Vandersteen vlr or excite x14i have bith I own the VLR's as well as Treo's, so I am biased towards Vandy's.But, seeing how you liked ProAc's, I would say you will probably like Vandersteen.Remember the VLR's were designed to be bookshelf speakers. So, having near the wall/corners will be... | |

| I wan't the best in this price range Zu Soul's shouldn't be harsh. I owned the Union and the Omen Bookshelf and neither had any trace of harshness. They had 'slam', too.If you really want punch, then go for Undertones or any good subwoofer.I think Atmasphere and others are correct. Y... | |
| MBL 101 (~1990) - amp suggestions. @doug1234 .I would love to hear those MBL's. Any chance your friend is in the NYC area?Bob | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @yogiboy ,Vandies don't 'need' subs, but having them really fleshes things out, subtle but noticeable. Quatro's have built in subs with equalizer.B | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @brskie,I own the non-CT Treos, and have 2 2wq subs. I am very happy with the combo. So much so, I will probably get the new Sub 3's when I sell the 2w's.If it were me, first I would ask Johnny.Barring that, I would think getting 2 Sub 3's with th... | |

| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @mitch2 ,I am glad you are considering the Vandy subs.To me, they are the best way to add lower frequencies to a speaker- A simple 1st order crossover that eliminates frequency overlap and allows you amp to function at peak performance.Once I sell... | |
| I wan't the best in this price range I have tried Zu Union's (earlier than the Souls) and Omen Bookshelves.Both were close, but never as good as Vandersteens.I thought having a non-crossover design might be a positive, but found the time and phase aligned speaker to be much more desi... | |
| Advice for Neophyte Assembling a System @OP, It looks like Audio Concepts is in Dallas is a Vandy Dealer. Have you checked them? If you have, and found them unhelpful, I would call Richard Vandersteen directly. Leave a message and he will call the next day. Trust me.Second, fabric shade... | |
| Advice for Neophyte Assembling a System If you like Sabrina's then you should like Vandersteen.Unlike Wilson, Vandersteen's are time and phase aligned and are very easy to drive.The Pass amp mentioned offers a lot more power than conventional amps-Mr. Pass usually underrates them.Wilson... | |
| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K Vandy Quatro's would be my first suggestion.-They always perform above their price point.If you want big sound, then electrostatics would be another choice.Magnepan and Soundlabs.Bob |
