| Vandersteen 2WQ vs Martin Logan Depth BsskI just added a single 2Wq to my Vandy 3A Sig's yesterday and WOW what a difference. I have to agree with Donwass65 they don't contribute that much to the sound until you get something with low information. It fills in a lot of information to a... | |

| McCormack Amp Upgrades I had a pair of DNA-1 monoblocks driving Vandersteen 3A Sigs, gave those up for a pair of DNA-1 Dlx Golds (non momoblocked) that are vertically driving the Vandy's now and they are so much better than the monoblocks, I put the monoblocks back in a... | |

| Blu Ray from the HTPC Gmood1 Thank you for the comments,One of the reasons I went with the McCormack Mico Line Drive is because it's a passive preamp and I wasn't sure how Microsoft implemented their volume control, didn't know if they reduced bits to lower the volume ... |
