Fidelizer and JPlay
Has anyone used Jplay with ClassicsOnline?And is anyone using the 2 pc set up? Can you connect to more than 2 pc's?I am currently using Airfoil to play music over wifi to 2pc's. I am wonering if this is better sound quality-wise. 
Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations
There are the Zu Omen Bookshelf speakers. They even have a trial period if you buy them from Zu. A nice price, too.I use them for my office, now that they are broken in, I really like the sound- And this is from a Vandy guy.Bob 
Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass?
A lot depends on the speaker's crossover as well as the drivers.I think overlapping the frequencies, as pts suggests, will result in less accurate reproduction. 
How does high-pass filter requirement affect system decisions?
Randyhat, Vandersteen recommends 40-200wpc for the Quatro's, so 75 should be in the sweet spot-especially if you are high passing to the subs.I think one of the nice things about Vandy's is that they play well with a lot of equipment.I am in trans... 
Recommend a SS amp for my new Vandersteen Quatro CT
Nycjlee, that sounds like a killer setup. I'd love to listen to it. Is Johnny setting it up for you?

 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...

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... 
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...

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....
