| Vandersteen Quatro CT Anyone hear the newest "CT" models at their fave dealer/retailer? If so, name your audio shop. Happy Listening! | |
| Increase price for Vandersteens Guys-we must be careful about these companies that continue to "raise" prices. They are covering their asses from the previous year and hide under so-called parts, labor...etc umbrella. This is no excuse, the cost of hifi gear has never been highe... | |
| Entry level Silent Source Signature speaker cables Welcome! Chuck-good to hear you like SS cables/cords. Tell me, what other gear is in your system?Whenever you can get a demo on the Musical Reference! Keep me posted & Happy Listening! JA | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck I concur w/ you guys. KW is a ghetto-rat, nothing more-nothing less. He has no talent to speak on. He is strictly the product of pop music branding. The hope is this- go away and never return...we all have better things to do w/ our time. | |
| Power Amp for Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v2 Jeff,you will want a high current amp- Bryston, Anthem, Parasound or Pass labs will do very nicely! Do not forget the cables/power cords as well. Keep me posted & Happy Listening! | |

| Entry level Silent Source Signature speaker cables For you guys who enjoy SS signature cables/cords, you owe it to yourself to demo the Musical Reference offerings as Thankful has suggested. Either way these are remarkable products that make beautiful music. Happy Listening! | |

| REL T-9 or S/2 Hello Amboguzzi-big fan of REL here. These sub(s) integrate very nicely and easily w/ your system. A sonic match w/ the Focal loudspeakers and Analysis Plus cables/cords that you already use. Keep me posted & Happy Listening! | |
| Hegel or Vitus RI-100 I would be interested too. Both of these brands are red-hot right now. I do not have a local dealer/retailer- I am stuck reading about the press or others' impressions of this gear. Happy listening! | |
| A whole new meaning to "live" music Great story- Vhuang-we know that "gremlins" affect computers and the like. In your case it is "critters" that affect loudspeakers.Happy Listening! | |
| Classic rock: best remasters Phasecorrect-I will concur on The Doors, especially in SACD format. Add the Van Halen remasters as well. In a few weeks I will take possession of the newest Beatles SHM-CDs and am stoked!Happy Listening! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Very nice point- Soixyes, Revel is total crap indeed. The Vandy CT models are on my list, as, I am hoping they have been improved. Until that day comes/goes Thiel are still my reference. And yes, there are very few time/phase coherent loudspeakers... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Very nice exchange of info guys-I liked the Vandy 2C Sig and 3A models. But when it came down to the Treo & Quattro models, I just could not get their presentation. From the dealers/retailers, I got a reply that it is the 1st order cross-over ... | |
| Retired audiophile? Papermill-I, personally, will never retire form this hobby. Most will be come satisfied w/ their respective systems- this is perfectly acceptable. So long as the technology keeps moving forward and there are musical gains to be made, do not retire... |
