| Floor Protection Discs 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 | |
| Optimal Vandersteen 2Wq settings 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... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation 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... | |
| Optimal Vandersteen 2Wq settings 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... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation 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.... | |
| Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT 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. ... | |
| Optimal Vandersteen 2Wq settings 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... | |
| Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT 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... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Vandersteen Trio CT - Best of the bunch You got it bubby...(BTW- it's Treo)Bob | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 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... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation 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 ... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 What I noticed was the 2150's $99,000/pr price tag. I didn't read any further. This is getting ridiculous.I think it's way past that point.... Ditto... | |
| Re-wire of speakers to get more Warmth and resolve across the band +1 Jmc and grannyring.Though I think it could be an interesting project, I would call up Tekton and ask them what they think. They built the speaker and would know more about what a change in wire would do in their speaker.Bob | |
| Inexpensive shelf/rack for Croft/Harbeth setup. Besta would be better, in my opinion. It has a better connection system than the Expedit.I use it for my components with some Herbie's sound dampening. I would also consider Sound Anchors. They have a wall mount for speakers that I am using for my... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Audiotroy, I think this may be the second time someone said the Zu's are 'colored' and I don't know why that description was used. Zu's to me, are pretty neutral. Though I do agree with your description of the Golden Ear's- They are just not my '... |
