| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future all things must pass Good old George Harrison, may he rest in peace.And, another artist that I have reconnected with through streaming services...B | |
| DeVore Gibbon X v. Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT w/Ayre AX5/20 @beetlemania,I would just use the Vandy x-overs and leave the amp alone, as it will be hard to sell later if you want to upgrade. And if the OP is buying new, they should come with the speakers anyway.B | |
| DeVore Gibbon X v. Vandersteen Quattro Wood CT w/Ayre AX5/20 I would contact John Rutan at audioconnection. He sells Vandy and knows just about all the manufacturers. He can give you the best advice, without trying to sell you something.and, yes, your Ayre amp should work w]fine with Vandy's. -A very good m... | |
| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future @jafant .But, you can sample recordings that you would never have known about and buy them if you really like them.B | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? Oh, that was you?Great!B | |
| It Looks Like Streaming May Be The Future Once you get into it, CD's seem to lose their magic.I never thought I would move to the digital side, but I did. Having an almost limitless catalog to choose from and not having to get up to flip an LP or change a CD, makes streaming so nice. Thou... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @geoffkait , Yes, I do recall those efforts, but I was trying to imply that there is no microphone that will reproduce what each set of ears will. My hearing and your hearing may be completely different, just as our eyes will respectively see an i... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? @carmenc ,Don't beat up Johnny. He is willing to offer free advice.I say this as someone who has benefited from his advice, yet never bought anything from him. He won't try to sell me anything I don't want nor pressure me to buy something I do.I o... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Recorded music will never be equal to 'live' performance. Unless they can make a microphone that duplicates our individual ears, it seem we will have to accept that it comes pretty darn close.'Suspending disbelief' is an interesting premise and on... | |
| Subwoofer Decision I have a pair of Hsu subs for my office. They are good, but not as good as my Vandersteen 2w's. B | |
| Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching +1 lowrider,Impedance, not sensitivity is a more important value.Should your speakers dip below 4 ohms, you little amp is going to have a hard time keeping up.When in doubt, call the manufacturer.B | |
| DAC recommendation +1 for Mr_m.The Codex is a great buy for the money.A close second is the Schiit Gungnir or Yggy. The latter is a bit more (closer to $2K used).The nice thing is that both Ayre and Schiit offer upgrades as they become available.B | |
| Subwoofer Decision Vandersteen sub integration is seamless, when properly set up. My 2w's and 2wq's are heads above any other manufacturer, in my opinion.The fact that my 2w's are nearing 25+ years old and still function properly is a testament to the design and bui... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Piotr AnderszewskiI just found him through Spotify.Wow.Has anyone else listened to him?B |
