| 84k speakers... Big disappointment I have Bang and Olufsen in my car ('16 TTS), it has to be one of the most disappointing systems I have ever heard. Even my '12 TTS with Bose sounded better-well, at least I could listen to it.B&O has been bought by corporate entities. They rea... | |
| Shipping heavy speakers freight options U Ship shipped my pair of 3a sigs with no problems.These are many owner-operated shippers who make their living shipping within their routes. U ship seems to vet them well.If not U Ship, I would find a shipper who can put them on a pallet-much lik... | |
| Wireless or not graphic drawing tablet? Wacom seems to have a tablet for just about any use.Have you considered them?B | |
| This one looks like my old love Speaker tech has evolved since the '90's.I would try to visit as many dealers as you can. There must be something in current production that can meet your needs.But, I do understand you love for the Apogee's. A very special speaker.For me, I would... | |
| Poor power in the house Well, a dedicated line to your stereo system would be a good move.I would also add a whole house surge protector to the main box. Most are sacrificial, but considering how often a huge zap happens, it is money well spent.They shouldn't be too expe... | |

| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). The Thunder's arrived last week and are now breaking in nicely.My only bugaboo is how stiff they are.I can't fathom how cable companies can make a product that will not bend, twist or conform to any given application.I had to buy some right angle ... | |

| Speaker recommendation I think you should try adding a pair of subs with your speakers. (Quad's, right)? I'll PM you.@mindlessminion,One of the reasons I like Vandy's is that I can sit and walk around the room and the sound is still dimensional.If fact my seat is practi... | |
| Vandersteen 5a vs Quatro ct which do you choose? I lust for the Sub-3's, but they are out of my financial league.But, to be fair, my 2wq's are no slouches with my Treo's.If the OP is buying used Treo's, it would be a great move.FWIW, buying Treo's and 2wq subs should bring you to more than 80% o... | |

| McCormack Micro Power Drive Amp & Micro Line Drive Preamp (Dual Mono) Yup, me!I am using them with a pair of VLR's. Steve McCormack upgraded the pre and amps just this year and it is really nice. I got them because my office is already cluttered with stuff. The speakers are mounted on the wall near the ceiling and t... |
