| Vandersteen VLR CT My regular VLR's sound pretty amazing for their small size. I'm sure the CT version is worth the money if you want a small package and need super sound.If I get to Audioconnection, I'll see if Johnny can set up a demo of the two.B | |
| Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why? @mzk,The OP stated he is using XLR cables. Length will have no impact on sound. Longer speaker wire (unless talking >50ft) only effect wattage loss and lower damping factor, which can be negated by using a thicker gauge. I disagree totally. ... | |
| Saving the sound of the Stradivarius It's just wood, joinery and glue.With time, even wood will degrade. And, when factoring the stress of playing it, I have no doubt it will eventually not withstand the forces of time.What I would do is create replicas based on highly defined compu... | |
| Can one use 2 sets of monoblock amplifiers to one stereo set of speakers? I thought Sound Lab speakers to be one of easier to drive electrostatic speakers.

| Saving the sound of the Stradivarius @wolf_garcia If you read the article, even the conservators believe the instruments will be too delicate to play, despite being cared for. Bob | |
| Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative? @wolf_garcia , @cleeds ,There are always two sides to a story. But, in the Tekton case, the owner never articulated why the OP was incorrect nor why it would take this long to make the pair of speakers-despite his changing the original order.B | |
| Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why? If the components adhere to the balanced design, then using long XLR's have no effect upon sound quality.Keeping the speaker cables short, say under 6-8 feet, would be the best way to keep costs down, and minimize effects from the cable itself.B | |
| Connecting a sub which way to go I am using both methods.Main system has Vandy Treo's and 2wq subs using the Vandy Crossover.Office has the VLR's and a pair of Hsu subs running off the speaker connections.I like my Main system best, but the Office is no slouch. I might put in the... | |
