| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions @pwhinson ,Like the ads say, YMMV.Though I disagree with your opinion about Vandy's ' climb in price higher and higher', I do agree that Maggie's are pretty sweet sounding speakers.If I had the space I would own them, too, but my Vandy Treo's wor... | |

| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions I am always amazed at the loyalty of the Vandersteen crowd.I first heard them in the '80's and never forgot how good they sounded.I was happy to find after 35 years, that they were still in business, and still making the 2's.That a speaker should... | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... @OP,You can orient the AQ 1200 in any way you need.B | |
| Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated... @OP,I use the AQ 1200.It definitely does a good job for me.When it comes to surge protection, your best bet is to install a whole house surge protector at the mains-That is if you own your own home.Bob | |
| 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 |
