| 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 | |

| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers Maggies with subs, especially Vandy subs sound incredible.If I had more room, they would be high up on my list.B | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo @ja_zz I haven’t listened to any open baffle speakers, yet. Seems like they should be on my ’to do’ list, along with MBL. I am currently into non-crossover designs, namely Zu. They are quite impressive for the money. Not up to Vandersteen, but pre... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Re amps:Atma-Sphere MA-1's with MP-3- Total knock out of the parkI will be setting up my Ayre MXR (non Twenties) and a recently upgraded pair of McCormack DNA-1's that Steve was challenged to give the Atma's a run for the money.Sound Anchors just ... | |

| 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 |
