| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Thanks ct, I have never used a Class A amp, so I really shouldn't remark on power, but I feel, despite the powered bass, the Quatro's could use a bit more power than 30wpc.I have to say that the Atma's really provide me with the most clarified sou... | |
| Wavelength Proton DAC vs. Codex & Adding a server/renderer I use the Codex with my Bluesound Node (1's). It is a great way to get music throughout the house at high quality without spending a fortune.Bob | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? @czarivey Thank you for posting that.After 30 years, I still feel the sting of racial discrimination that Sound by Singer offered me. That they are still in business shows that sucking up to parvenu will provide you with an income. Hopefully, Karm... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @nmmusicman I have never heard the Alon's, nor heard of them, but if they work for you, then all the best. Though, I wonder if 30 wpc is enough for the quatro's? I'd be curious to put the MC-275 with the Quatro's and see how they sound.Bob | |
| Power cable So much of what you will discover will be system dependent.Though I know that cables can make a difference, I am loathe to spend inordinate amounts of money on them.Some of my favorites are:Zu Audio, AQ, and PS audio. Yes, upgrading the Furman pow... | |
| Looking for an All in One DAC/Streamer/Server Bluesound Node 2 sound like a contender for you.I own the Node 1, but I use an Ayre Codex for my main system and a Schiitt Gungnir for my office as they are better DAC's.Though, out of the box, the Node 2 is pretty good.Bob | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Thanks nrenter, tomic and Ctsooner.My question regarding the upgrade to Quatro's should have included my use of the Vandy 2w's with ct's Treo's. Though I don't have the 'q' factor, I am getting much of the bass that the Quatro would provide- just ... | |
| I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud @yyzsantabarbara You have a point worth considering. The seller and buyer should communicate. A quick phone call can reveal much about a person. If you still feel unsure, then cancel the deal.Bob | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ctsooner ,How much of a difference is there between the non-CT Treo's and your CT Quatro's?Bob | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @desktopguy,I would have inquired as to what your tech friend was using to drive his Vandie's. With the right equipment, they can be pretty 'forceful'. Though, as you say he may have been wanting something else.And, I agree, Mr. V has a great ear ... | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Patrick,I would ask that you consider the Treo's or Quatro's, They not only look nicer, they sound better/. The non-CT versions can be gotten for not and much more than the 3a sigs. Even Richard said it would be a better route.And, yes it was on a... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Yes! I got the same treatment from Sound by Singer. If you don't look affluent, then they couldn't give a hoot. That was many years ago, but I still have the bitter taste in my mouth.Innovative Audio was a much nicer place to visit. They were in B... | |
| Vandersteen help needed I can relate to Bondman's recommendation of the Ohm's, as I can to Tomic's.Yes, they are different speakers/designs, but they do give that beautiful openness that I crave. We all have different ears, hence the many choices.I just hope the OP and J... | |
| Best car audio, Burmester? highly disapointed Bose and Audi seem to be a good match, in my opinion.B&O and Audi is a match made in hell. I honestly thought it would be an upgrade, but I was sorely mistaken.-Absolutely no lower bass.-Tinny treble.-Muddy midrange.I can only listen to the co... |
