| Nature of the current used speaker market As someone whose profession (horticulture), has taken a beating over the past few decades(Namely, people who want their homes to be attractive and don’t care about price), I think the same can be said about high end Audio.Like many things, it goes... | |
| New $24,000 inter-connect Don't forget that company that made a $22K CD player and all it had was a basic Marantz drive and innards, with nothing proprietary added. They didn't last long, thankfully.B | |
| No right channel in new cartridge Well, now that you know it is defective, why not send it back and get either a refund or purchase something comparable?B | |
| Too much of a good thing... I would look at Audioquest, too.All of their cables perform above their price range compared to other company's offerings. Sound-wise, I won't say they are neutral, but definitely not colored.B | |
| $30K for 3 meters speaker! @jperry ,I wouldn't even consider them😈Bob | |
| Vandersteen M5-HP Crossover Filter I have mine on Atma monoblocks. The pigtails keep the well awayfrom the heat-Unless you want to put them on top of the amps, which wouldn't be a good idea.Bob | |
| Ayre MX-R upgrade costs? Actually, looking at the website, I recall seeing that they replace everything except the connectors and something else- Which seems odd as it wouldn't significantly add to the upgrade cost. Perhaps they still use the same parts in the Twenty vers... | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? I asked Johnny and he said since they weren't for critical listening, it wouldn't be worth the expense.-Especially as they are mounted near the ceiling, and I am listening almost underneath them.I have to say they are very listenable, and still pr... | |
| $30K for 3 meters speaker! @jperry .There comes a time to expose the Emperor's New Clothes.B | |
| What is the best 5k-plus Preamp with balanced outs and Phono stage? I use an Atmasphere MP-3 with my Ayre MX-R (non twenty) with excellent results.I'm still waiting for a non twenty KX-R to come on the market.Bob | |
| Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!! I would consider adding something like a Schiit Loki, so I can adjust the amount of bass/treble.Listening a very low levels will impact the lower frequencies most as the woofers aren't being pushed to the same degree as when listening at normal le... | |
| Thiel Owners I am late to this thread, but the last few posts got my interest as I am a Vandy owner.I have no experience with Thiel, but would using Vandersteen subs be a way to get a more 'seamless' integration?By handing off the low frequencies to the subs v... | |
| What can I do with an old Harbeth M30 midrange driver +1 ebm.Give it to someone needing a driver and get a boost in Karma.B | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? I ended up with the non CT VLR's and am extremely happy with my choice.I was using a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf before. The difference is amazing. The VLR's are paired with a pair of HSU subs (I forget the model).I was going to use my old 2w subs, ... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market Your post reminded me of the Vandersteens next to a 'Vintage Porche'.I wonder what happened to them? After a year or two, I stopped following.B |
