| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Oooh, dimmers can definitely make trouble. I recall other threads on this subject.Since this occurred after the kitchen upgrade, I have a sneaking suspicion that the electrical work has something to do with the sudden change in your stereo.Perhaps... | |
| Pre amp with Dac The Ayre Codex can be run as a DAC with Preamp Volume function.B | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo @ja_zz Actually, I think it is the other way around. Johnny R said you should be able to swap out drivers. The xover might be more problematical. Though I think Mr. V. builds these speakers so that they don't have to be shipped back whole when som... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo @hifiman5 Yes, you are correct. I was hoping the OP could swap out drivers and save the shipping costs. I was actually thinking about the Vandy subs.B | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Your speakers should have come with spikes. You can probably make your own.Copied from the Vandy 2ce manual: If you set the speakers on a wood floor, place a coin under each stand spike or use 3/8-16 thread carriage bolts in place of the spikes to... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers I like both of these manufacturers. But, if positioning is a problem, the Vandy's are the way to go.Even with the 1Ci's and a pair of subs, you'd have a remarkable system.OP, do you have any way to listen to them in your area?Bob | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Nuts!Sorry to hear about your troubles. How were they shipped? In their boxes? I would call either Johnny R(or PM him), or Mr. V.- he calls back the next day. I believe the Quatro is designed so that you can remove and replace the affected driver ... | |
| Streamer/DAC and LCD TV Sorry, I drifted the conversation unintentionally. What I meant...I rather doubt the LCD TV would interfere with the Wifi. Considering the hiccups I have experienced, I would put it down to the Bluesound app.B | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w @jwmorris The WX2 I lent you was from a Vandy 2w sub from about 20 years ago (serial # 4K). So, if you found it stable, then something went wonky with the one you have. Perhaps Johnny or Mr. V. could provide some info?I was going to call Johnny R ... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving Yup, we have it good here in the US, now if only we could get more people to exercise their right to vote... | |
| Black Friday steals Zu Audio has a Black Friday sale going on... | |
| Streamer/DAC and LCD TV I have found the Bluesound app to be a bit fussy at times. Just today, I had to reconfigure my wireless connection for a Node that I haven't used in a while.Have you upgraded to the latest version? I just had one today.Probably the best people to ... | |
| Not much discussion around MBL Any Agon'ers in the NYC area with MBL speakers that would mind offering an audition to a fellow Agon'er?I am dying to hear them.Bob | |
| More effecient speakers? @simao I would give Johnny's (audioconnection) suggestion a try. He has a lot of experience setting up systems, and his knowledge of your equipment shows he has a grasp of what you are looking for.Bob |
