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...

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...

@ctsooner I use a pair an old pair of Rockefeller's. I just can't justify the expense of some of these cables. Though, now that I am running monoblocks, I can use rather short runs. So, maybe they can be in my future.@nmmusicman I agree with your ... 
Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers
@nycjlee, What cables did you get? I am using a set of Rockefellers, but Johnny said I should move up the line. I forgot which series he recommended.Bob 
Has this happened to you?
First, I would contact Audiogon and explain the situation. They are aware of such things and can help you sort things out.Second, I, too have heard of buyers doing such things.The buyer of my Vandy 3a sigs had someone do much the same thing. The w... 
VANDERSTEEN 2 owners can get $500 for trade in
@ctsooner, You are an enabler.But, in a good way.So, do you have to ship the 2's back to Vandersteen? The cost would kind of reduce the benefit of the trade in.Bob

I knew Johnny Rutan would come through for you. My post regarding subs and DAC's were made to give you the best results for your system.Sometimes you have to make a few more unintended purchases in order to get what you are looking for.Upgrading t...

@nmmusicman,I wonder what Mr. V would think about your changing fuses? I know he is a bit dogmatic, but I think you should give him your opinion on the matter. Who know, he might just swap out the fuses in future models.Bob
