| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? +1 Soix, and atmasphereThiel and Vandersteen were/are proponents of time and phase correctness. I think they would be worth a look should you wish to look for a substitute-especially now that Thiel is no more.After years of hearing the 'tube vs SS... | |
| Owners Manual You can download it from the Vandersteen website:http://vandersteen.com//media/files/Manuals/2ce_signature_ii_manual.pdfB | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment For me, I would not discount an upgraded unit from the manufacturer.Sure, it may have some older parts, but I trust the manufacturer to know what needs replacing and what doesn't.

| Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? @bluesy41, What does price have to do with it? B | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? The Zu speakers offer a trial, though it is only for a few weeks, I think.It took my Omen Bookshelves a month before they opened up.I would call/email Gerrit and explain you situation. I bet he can offer you some good information.B | |
| What would you choose for about $1k, ZU DW, SVS Ultra bookshelf or Tekton Lore? @nietz,I owned a pair of Zu Union's, a precursor of the Omen's.Overall, I was very pleased and I would think the Dirty Weekend's should be even better.I bought them as a way to see how a full range driver compared to multi driver speaker. In the e... | |

A well integrated pair adds a subtle richness to the sound. And a pair of High Passe... | |

| Balance adjustment? As I posted on another thread, sometimes moving speakers in ways that are 'non traditional' can make the difference between good and great.I can see the use of the balance control making this, too.Perhaps try to angle the speaker with no reflectin... | |
| How big is the sweet spot for the vandersteen quatro wood CT speakers? @miketuason ,If I were you, I would try moving the speakers. Sometimes the formulas don't work and placing where the 'rules' say no, may make a difference.If you can find a Vandy dealer nearby, or call Johnny at Audioconnection, you'll get more i... | |

| Bi Wiring for speakers question @will62 ,If they look like a banana with saw teeth then I think they are called BFA banana plugs. I had them on some Transparent speaker cable and they were very brittle and prone to snapping.B | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? +1 for CT.Buying used equipment can be fraught with problems, but buying something of recent production, and being able to visit the seller, help a lot in preventing unforeseen issues.Also, buying equipment from reliable manufacturers who offer up... | |
| How big is the sweet spot for the vandersteen quatro wood CT speakers? @OP, are you going to leave the amp on continuously?@miketuason ,If your 'sweetspot' is only 6 inches, I think you need to do some adjusting.Bob |
