 kind of money to through around Throw around Really! Come to the front, now hold out your hand...I think the Target Audio discs will be good enough and $40 bucks is cheap enough.

Nah, there is a substance called 'liquid smoke'. The seeds germinated well. The hard part is overwintering in the NE USA.If your subs are as invisible as mine, I don't doubt your cat will be very comfortable. Those low low frequencies must lull hi... 
Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT
IMHO, you shouldn't trouble yourself wondering ' how much I may be missing compared to some of the new models'. You'll end up chasing a shadow.I say get your Quatro's and break them in slowly and gently. There will always be something to upgrade ...

Yes, the 2wq's should be invisible and those serial numbers aren't too far apart.I haven't been to your part of the world due to political views, but now that that has been rectified, perhaps soon- I'll bring those crossovers, too.(I have been try...

You could check out Herbie's:http://herbiesaudiolab.net/spkrfeet.htmBut, I see they will be even more for a set of four. Though, he does have a lot of other things.Bob

So, I guess these are not sequential pairs.Richard told me to be wary of buying subs from very different vintages as they may have different sound signatures due to his constant refinement.Do you have the serial numbers?Why not send an email to Va...

I will have to disagree with ctsooner on buying from smaller enterprises, as well as considering resale values.Though everyone would like to have their purchases not depreciate. I think it is an unrealistic way to buy equipment (or anything for th...

If you get the fixed crossovers, you don't need the M5-HP.For an inexpensive sub, I would get a pair of HSU.For some reason, I don't seem to be able to PM members. If you are using RCA interconnects, I may be able to loan you a pair of M5-HP cross...

As to having visited ctsooner to pick up the Treo's, I can attest to his demand for quality. In fact, he even makes his own furniture (beautiful Mission style), and understands what goes into cabinetry.Poor Meadowlark, I think they are back again....

I have not heard the ARC, but know them to be well made. I don't think you will have any problems. Perhaps contacting ARC to see if they recommend updating. Again, I don't know how old the amp is, but I do know that capacitors don't last forever. ...

Adiebear, if you can't afford the M5-HP, then you should get the fixed crossovers from Vandersteen. I think they are only $100-200. They will give you better sound. The supplied crossovers are only meant as a temporary solution.Vandersteen recomme...

Once I get my MP3, I will be driving Treo's with Atma-Sphere MA-1's.I never had tubes before, so wish me luck.I am currently using a McCormack DNA-1 with gold revisions. When Steve finishes with CES, I hope to have him modify another DNA-1 so I ca...

It is sad to see. But, I see the same thing in my field. People with so much to spend, but absolutely no idea of what to buy. -And then buy the most expensive/famous because it 'must be better'.And,People with some money who think they know more t...

The Ohm radial approach is nice for less critical listening, in my opinion.I do like their sound, but a phase correct speaker like the Vandy or Theil would be a better in the long run-again, my opinion.I saw those Quatro's at Audioconnection last ...
