| Subwoofers Nice post, Montaldo. I agree with your perceptions.Vandersteen subs, coupled with the m5-hp crossovers, make for a seamless integration. | |
| Vandy 3A and "Signature" Johnny R is a Agon member(audioconnection), so he would be easy to contact. Mr. V. is available, but he can be a bit brusque, so have your questions prepared in advance.A quick Google pulled up this review:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/vander... | |
| Which Deoxit...? Deoxit D5 is probably what you are looking for.I would go to the Deoxit website for the most accurate information regarding their many products. | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable Re: Yage.I agree earlier models of Transparent cables didn't go well with Vandersteen's, but I have to say the current line-up, is much more smoother.Zu is selling their earlier cables on Ebay, and they can be gotten for considerably less than the... | |
| Recommendations for IC and speaker cable I have a set of current model Transparent Plus cables for my speakers. Though some have felt they are not what I should use with my Vandy 3a sigs, I enjoy them and think they will serve you well, as far as the high frequency 'screech'. I have owne... | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks for the reply Johnny. Yet another task to perform...But, it does make sense, and I will do it when I can get some free time- Yes, I am a Gardener, so summer is when I make my 'bread and butter'.Is a Radio Shack Soundmeter okay, or should I... | |
| Why do you give bad advice? +1 for mitchchavis, what do you find 'bad' about our replies to the OP?What would you propose to be 'good advice'?And, why didn't you provide it? | |
| Internal Power Supply Technology Changes since 1999? Though I am not an expert, I think much has changed for the better since the turn of the century.I own a lot of McCormack equipment, and can attest that Steve McCormack constantly updates his updates as newer/better parts become available-sometime... | |
| Buying Without Audition Larstusor, that is a good way to start. I think having a speaker that you know and love, makes for an easier way to consider other loudspeakers that you do not have access to audition-when the SAS bites.All the Best- Bob | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks jokerman, I really don't want any more bass, just more accurate.Stringreen, I am looking at a pair of 5a's for sale. The seller is very accomodating (will meet me near my location). My only problem is whether they will fit in the space I ha... | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks sdcampbell,I already own the 2w's, but was considering the 2wq. that was for sale on Agon. It sold, but I am now considering upgrading to the Vandy 5's, instead. | |
| Buying Without Audition Oblgny, I would love to hear your impressions of those other speakers-Non Maggies. Perhaps a PM to me? | |
| Amp or speaker first, upgrade Way to go!I, too, have the Vandy 3a sigs. I remembered listening to the original 2's back in the early 80's, and after a 30 year hiatus, I finally got back into hifi. I have to say the Vandersteens have met and exceeded all my expectations. Enjoy.... | |
| Possibly dumb question: can I use two cable runs for each channel, not bi-wired? As far as being able to do it, I would say yes. This would be a true Bi-wire set up, but in your case, you would be doubling the cable to the same post. Would there be a sonic difference? Probably. How different depends on your equipment.As far as... | |
| Adcom a weak link? Are you using both pairs at the same time? or Alternating?The Infinite Slope, by a quick Google, seem to be a bit on the vintage side age-wise.Like I said, if you get Musical Design to upgrade some of the internals, I think you should be able to g... |
