| Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina Sorry to add to the Vandersteen recommendations, but I, too, think the Vandersteen's are superior to the Wilson's. Make no mistake, I listened to a pair of Sabrina's and was very impressed, but Mr. V. has been around a long time, answers questions... | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs Nope, the balanced and unbalanced M5-HP crossovers are basically the same price (approx $700 used). The fixed crossovers are much cheaper (say $250).In my opinion, using balanced connectors would be the best way to go as cable length and compositi... | |
| Classical composers, symphonies I can agree with the OP's feelings toward Sibelius.Besides the Violin concerto, and up to the 2nd symphony, I find him a bit dark- It must be those Finnish winters....OP, if you like Schumann, then there are a number of Early Romantic composers.Fe... | |
| Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these? Can the VLR be upgraded to Carbon Tweeters?Bob | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @OP,The Vandersteen M5-HP crossover comes in XLR config.If you nail down the setting, you can buy fixed crossovers from Vandersteen for a couple hundred bucks from any Vandersteen dealer, or Johnny at Audioconnection.B | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem Nothing like being handy with a soldering iron...You should still call SMcAudio. I am sure Pat or Steve could give you some good advice on what you should replace or modify to benefit sound reproduction. Since you are so handy, they might even shi... | |
| Is getting a new pre-amp the right upgrade path? Though Ralph(atmasphere) is too much of a gentleman to say it, I will- An Atma-Sphere preamp would be a great addition to your system. I would contact him to get advice on which one would be compatible with your system. Though I think one of his U... | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem Yes, that would be a bit of a haul, though they do a lot of work for Japanese/Asian customers, so it is possible.You can email them at:smcaudio@cox.netThey are very responsive. If you have Skype, you can talk directly. They are working on a pair o... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @schubert .Thanks for the post. Can you give me the call letters? Bluesound app doesn't seem to find them by name.B | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 ,I would not discount the Sub 3 until I listened to it. If Mr. V. discontinues a very good sub in favor of a new one, it must be a significant improvement.And, Vandersteen's use of an external high pass crossover was very much 'thinking ... | |
| Mccormack dna-1 protection problem +1 Soix.If you don't get Steve, Pat can help, too.If you can swing it, try to get the amp upgraded. It is well worth the money.Bob | |
| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs @noble100 ,I think Johnny was referring to the integrated equalizer in the new Sub 3.As far as I know, there are no subs with equalizers incorporated.B | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed Glad to hear that the problem has been isolated.I would be interested in hearing what Mr. V. finds in those M5-HP's. I didn't think there was anything that could go wrong with them.Bob | |
| Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers I have heard a difference between fuses, mostly for the better.But, I do think prices have gone a bit too high. Also, some of these designs are not UL spec'd. So, I would be concerned that they would trip when required to- and save the equipment t... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Can anyone recommend some good classical music FM music stations that I can access with my Bluesound app?Here in NY, we have what is left of WQXR, but it is a sad memory of what we once had-That is, remembering WNYC, WNCN, and others I have forgot... |
