Subwoofer cable recommendations
Part of my concern is that I have a fairly long run to my subs (25 feet). I am using Transparent Plus cables to the speakers, so, as per the Vandersteen hook up, I probably need the same length for the subs.With this in mind, can you recommend a b... 
Subwoofer cable recommendations
I am considering using Vandersteen 2wq's with 3a sigs and the M5-HT crossover. So, according to Vandersteen, I will be connecting the sub and speakers to the amp output. 
How important is customer service in your decision to pick an audio product (company)?
There is nothing like great customer service.I have just started getting back into stereo systems after 20 years.My holy grail speaker was Vandersteen 2. I found a nice pair of 3a sigs on Audiogon and a McCormack Amp, as well.When I had questions,...

Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
Re: AudioconnectionAs a Vandersteen dealer, have you seen any issues with old 2w subs?Mr. V said they were getting a bit old and more prone to problems.

I looked at EAC, but it doesn't seem to carry over the artwork and track info like DBpoweramp.If I ripped with EAC, can DB be used to insert the above mentioned info to the ripped disc, afterward?

Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
Dekay, I am from the 70's and I never heard or used 'Telecon'. Maybe it was a regional term. Maybe I'm growing forgetful... ;)Slightly off topic, but I tried to start another discussion but got no response...Is the M5-HT crossover limited to Vande... 
Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
Delkay, this is my 1st post.I have no idea what a telecon is..., but thanks for the information.I have to agree with you though, when I move the speakers around, I do hear difference.  My problem is that I have a limited number of places to move t... 
Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
Just off the phone with Mr. Vandersteen...His recommendation-buy Quattro CT's. (He noted that my current room size was on the small size, and the Quattro's would offer better optimization).Since I just bought the 3a sigs, I don't think it is going... 
Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's
Thanks for all the responses.I just got the Vandy 3 a sigs, so I don't think I will be upgrading my speakers anytime soon.lI currently have separate amp and preamps(All McCormack). So, installing the crossover shouldn't be a problem.I will leave a...
