| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed Hmm, do you think it is worth it? Will the repair cost that much?Knowing how these things play out, I bet UPS will blame the amp builder for not packaging correctly. Though I never had an issue of a box being so roughly treated that the internals ... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tomic, you are one lucky guy.-Retired and owning the M-7 amps. Sheesh...Bob ;) | |
| Best Speakers with a DNA-1? @offnon57 ,I live on Long Island, too. I suggest contacting John Rutan at Audioconnection(his name here on Agon, too).He sells Vadersteen and is knowledgeable and a great guy to boot.He is in Verona, NJ which isn't too far from the GWB. If you tim... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! @terry9 .God forbid you ever have a leak ;)B | |
| Weakest link? Hmm, a toughie.I think both the Schiit preamp and the KEF speakers would be candidates for upgrade.BTW, I love Schiit products. If anything, get one of their DAC's, like a Gungnir or Yggy. Though you could get by with an Ayre Codex, which will do ... | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! I wish I had more room. Quads and Maggie's were always on my list.B | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question There is a consensus that biwire within a single cable is not as much of an improvement as using two separate cables, one for upper range, one for lower range. @elizabeth ,I disagree, respectfully.B | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! I wish Audiogon could make a 'Sticky' post, because I think this one is a great candidate.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofers with M5-HP crossovers - help needed @bondmanp ,It sounds like you are doing this the right way.I, too, had my amps worked on and when they came back, I wasn't informed that they had lowered the impedance considerably (like 100K to 20K), so, of course, the M5-HP's needed to be adjust... | |
| Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs I have no experience with Bel Canto, but lots with Schiit.The Gungnir is no slouch and comes close to my Ayre Codex.Unfortunately, Schiit Dac's need some time to open up and 15 days is just when it does it's metamorphosis.If I were you, I would le... | |

| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo @ja_zz For me, Hifi Shark is the best place to keep up with used offerings.That's where I saw the MX-R'sB | |
| Speaker audition recommendations? Hmmm, perhaps it will affect the subtleties(level controls) but not the overall sense of what a speaker does.I, too, auditioned Golden Ear and have to say I found them lacking. Hey, everyone's ears are different, but your post reminded me of what ... | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp @kalali,Funny, but I take the word of manufacturers before practitioners. First, they have more experience. Second, why would they lie?With regards to speaker cables, it just makes sense that a short run will be better than a long run, when you lo... | |
| Fix for Bluesound Node 2 and Powernode 2 wireless connection and drop-out problems... I use ethernet from my PC to my office rig and wireless to my main rig downstairs.I really can't say if there is a difference, as I never tried the reverse. What I can say is that is sounds pretty good despite being a wireless signal. This is usin... |
