| Calling Vandersteen Treo owners I owned the 3a sigs and then bought the Treo non-CT's.There is a definite improvement in sound quality when you move to the newer models. Plus, they also look nicer.If I recall correctly, you own an Atma M-60.The Treo's are rated 40wpc at the low ... | |

| Accounting for slight hearing loss @OP, I suffer from the same 'problem'.After 30+ years, I just accept it for what it is- My hearing isn't perfect.One easy fix is to tow in one speaker a bit/point the other speaker out.Not exactly high tech, but it helps, and doesn't cost anything... | |
| Looking for a plenum-rated balanced cable that won't require a second mortgage The first thing I would make sure of is that the equipment you are using supports the AES 48 standard.If so, then any cable with 'plenum-rated' casing should be as good as any other.If you don't believe me, ask/PM Ralph Karsten (Atmasphere).The wh... | |
| Help! High level subwoofer input on a class D amp introduces ground loop. @OP,I am not ES or Al, but I have two systems running with 2 subs, one with a high pass filter (Vandersteen), the other running full output from preamp, and using the sub's crossover.In my limited opinion, the high pass system is far more integrat... | |
