| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @sumwhat , I think you are overanalyzing this. B | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT @holmz , The Treo was a significant upgrade from the 3a Sigs I owned before them. Overall, a more refined sound. Though I do agree with getting a sub or two. His Mac 152 should have plenty of oomph to drive a pair of Treo's, as well as just ab... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7…Would it work for me? Given that your Thiel's are time and phase aligned, I would consider a Vandersteen before a Wilson speaker. The Watt/Puppy 7 is considered to be one of the better of that line. Though I have never listened to it personally. My only experience wi... | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT Good choice, and I know you'll be happy with your decision. Now is a good time to invite you to the Vandy forum. Open to Vandersteen owners only. Just go to the website. Bob | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT @delmatae , Though Vandy lovers seem to be loyal customers, we all seem to know the value of a time and phase correct speaker. There is something 'right' about it that one can't put into words. I listened to the original Vandy 2's in the '80's. ... | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT I concur with @sbank, I think he hit the nail on the head. Vandersteen has always been a company to offer the most performance at a great price point. Though I will say the cabinetry of the Treo, Quatro, Kento and up are second to none. I will ... | |
| Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT +1 for the Treo's. I have listened to the Sabrina's. They're nice, but for the money, you'll get more from Vandersteen. And, a true time and phase correct speaker. No experience with Sonus Faber. Bob | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS @atmasphere , Will the Class D amps be upgradable? Bob | |
| I have some Magnepan MGIIb's. Giving them away for free. I had IIIs that I couldn't give away. They ended up in a landfill. What a waste. I put my old speakers at the corner and someone picked them up within an hour. B | |
| starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped I have always allowed my equipment to warm up before using it. Unless your home is a swamp, I can't see how condensation would be an issue. Most homes in the cold air of winter have low humidity. B | |
| Question about Class A @jay73 , I think your speakers will be the determining factor regarding how tubes/class A will sound, and whether it will be 'better'. Bob | |
| How many systems do you have? Two, Main system downstairs and the Office. I hate to say it but I am listening to the Office more than the Main. B | |
| Wireless vs. Ethernet for Streaming My 2 cents: When you are using the internet, you have to make sure you aren't pushing up against the limits of data transfer. I have Verizon Fios Gigabit. It works fine. But, if there is a lot of traffic/demand, I can have Qobuz/Roon hiccup. No... | |
| Does the Vandersteen 1C Hold Up to Modern Standards? @spacecadet65 , Jim(@tomic601) probably didn’t consider recent price increases. I will also say that you could also go with the VLR’s. Nifty little bookshelves that will work best in corners, but can also be stand mounted. I use them in my of... | |
| Does the Vandersteen 1C Hold Up to Modern Standards? The Vandy 1's are a great bargain for the price, especially used. If you can demo them, then listen for any distortions that would indicate a bad driver-Buzzing and the like. All Vandy speakers are time and phase aligned, so they are very easy o... |
