Annoying sounds from cars at stop light
then it seemsI think is should be ’than it seems’, sorry I have a thing with English...Otherwise, I share your observations. I had to listen to a mobile boombox today and it made me think that the occupant must have gone deef. ;)GB 
Bose 901 Series 3 Fair Price
The 901's were good for their time, but I think there are other speakers that are superior in terms of sound reproduction. And, yes, I did lust to own them-then I found Vandersteen.If you really like the 901's, go for it. I would look on Ebay or H... 
Streaming Services - do they do everything?
I use Spotify, which I think meets most of your needs and costs $9.99 per month. I tried Tidal, but was turned off by the limited classical selection. I think it cost about $15/month. The resolution is higher than Spotify, but I really didn't noti...

Equalizers- love them or hate them and why?

+1 RandyA pair of used Quatro's would definitely be in the price range and you'd get a sub, too. Otherwise, I would get a pair of 2wq subs for your 2 sigs.to fill out the bottom end.Bob 
Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
Hmm, I supposed it depends upon what you were listening to beforehand.Vandie's aren't bright (as in, lots of treble or beaming uppers).Also being phase and time aligned, they give a more natural (in my opinion) sound. The closest I can find to the... 
Speaker Suggestions
A Vandy fanboy has to recommend the:Vandy Quatro's- They are a definite upgrade to the 2 sigs, and have the integrated sub that can be adjusted for the room. If you like the Vandy sound, you will love these.But if you want to look elsewhere, I can... 
Help! Subwoofer Newbie Problems!
I would call them on Monday and let them know of the problems you have. I bet they will give you an extra day or two to trial. If they don't, send them back and find a pair of Vandersteen subs and xovers.I guarantee they will work magic with your ...

Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
@ja_zz I don't know what 'off center' means, in this case, butDo you think it was damaged in the shipping?It was generous for the seller to accept the speakers back.He sounds like a 'Stand Up' guy.For me, I would send it to Mr. V. as his drivers a... 
Financial bind and need a nice XLR
I would contact Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere. He sells a nice inexpensive cable. I use it with my Atma amp and pre and can't complain.B
