| Vandersteen VLR CT I auditioned the VLR CT's at Audioconnection last year.Setup:VLR's, Belles Integrated, Ayre Codex, Bluesound Node/Aurender N100.So, Peter (ctsooner) wants to hear the new AQ William Tell speaker cables. Johnny disconnects the Sub 3 and plugs in th... | |
| Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i? My 2 cents:The Schiit Gungnir or Yggy are about on par with the Ayre Codex.The new Ayre QB-9 with 20 upgrade is another step up.Given the current prices of used Codex's, I would get one in a heartbeat.(I own two Codex's for my 2 Nodes).B | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions @OP, I won't lie to you, I am a Vandy fan. I heard the 2's in the early '80's and never forgot how good the sound was.I now own a pair of Treo's, and find them to be the best speaker I have ever owned.Regarding the external crossover-I think they ... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? Here in NYC, there are numerous dealers who 'size up' their clientele.It got so bad, I never wanted to deal with another dealer(namely one with S and S in their name).I felt that way until I met with John Rutan at Audioconnection.Bob | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & KEF LS50 wireless hum/buzz @skoorb824 ,Great to hear. A factory reset would be the last thing I would think of doing, in your situation.B | |
| Monitor speakers for true bookshelf location Vandersteen VLR's are made to go into corners for bass augmentation.They looked so simple, I didn't think they would do the job, so I got a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf speakers. I was wrong, the Vandy's outclassed them. The non-CT version is under $... | |
| SE RCA to XLR... any benefit? Once again, I would either call or PM Ralph (Atmasphere).He knows this stuff inside/out.Bob | |
| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers @karl_desch If anyone knows how to position Vandy's, it's Johnny.As well as setting up the correct crossover values.As far as amps go, I run my Treo's with Atmasphere MA-1's in the winter and Ayre MXR's in the summer.A bit of overkill, but I alway... | |
| Vandersteen 5a - Setup help needed @audioconnection Whoops, my bad.B | |
| Bluesound Node 2i & KEF LS50 wireless hum/buzz Good post crm.@OP,Is the hum occurring only with Tidal?Bob | |
| Vandersteen 5a - Setup help needed @OP,You have some great speakers. If I were you, I'd sell my equipment and put the money into something better, like Ayre.I understand that you don't want to spend more money, but in this case, I think it would be the best move.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 5a - Setup help needed @stringreen ,Setting the High Pass filters to different settings will not damage anything.The only result will be either too little or too much bass.+1 on recommending John Rutan at Audioconnection.Bob | |
| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers @karl_desch ,I know Mr. V. believes his speakers sound better on a granite block.I have my Treo's on maple butcherblock at the moment.I was going to try Townshend Podiums, but the outrigger feet made that unusable due to my limited floor space. (T... | |
| Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's @mr_m ,I owned the 3a sigs before I bought ctsooner's Treo's (non CT).I would seriously question the hearing of a dealer who thought the 3's were better than the Treo's- unless he/she was referring to the lower end extension, but on the whole, the... | |
