| The Belles Aria Signature Integrated Amplifier I believe the price is $4400 but you should contact JohnnyR to confirm. John would be the best person to describe the differences between the units. It’s only been out of the box since Friday afternoon and John has spent the most time listening. | |
| Belles Virtuoso power amp - My initial experience I spent a few hours listening to the new Belles Aria Signature Integrated amp at the Audio Connection today. It betters the standard Aria in every way, as it should for $4400. The rest of the system was Vandersteen Treo CT's, Clearaudio Concept wi... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 I have to agree with bassdude. I have owned the 40’s and currently the SHL5+ and tried Quicksilver V4’s, Quicksilver Mono 120’s, and had a long term loaner Audio Research Reference 75 SE Stereo Amplifier and none of them worked well with the Harbe... | |
| Belles Virtuoso power amp - My initial experience You should touch base with JohnnyR on pricing. | |
| Belles Virtuoso power amp - My initial experience I think the preamp will be called the Aria Signature. | |
| Belles Virtuoso power amp - My initial experience Have you heard the Belles Preamp? I spent a few hours listening to the Virtuoso Preamp prototype with your amp and the new Vandersteen 2CE Signature III's at Audio Connection. The combination really made those speakers sing. I don't think you will... | |
| Best bookshelf/wall mountable speakers for under $2k? Vandersteen VLR | |
| Vandersteen Question When I had my 5's, not the 5A's, I used that rear firing tweeter and liked it, much to the chagrin of my dealer, JohnnyR and Richard. My room had three walls of glass and for some reason the rear tweeter ameliorated some of the issues with the gla... | |
| Cartridge for vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm You should look at the Hana ML. It's a great sounding MC cartridge that punches way above its $1200 price point. You didn't mention your budget but Hana cartridges start around $495 up to $1200 for the ML. When I had my Scout I used a Transfigurat... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience +1 for contacting Johnny R. At the Audio Connection in Verona. You might want to demo the Quatro Wood CT $15,499 / Pair. Internal powered subs and an extremely musical speaker. https://www.vandersteen.com/products/quatro-wood-ct | |
| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers I moved to the Aesthetix Atlas amplifier and Calypso preamp. Just my opinion, but I think Aesthetix amplifiers bring out the best in Vandersteen speakers. The Atlas also has a built-in high pass filter for use with the Vandersteen's. Punchy bass, ... | |
| Vandersteen updates and amplifiers The Quicksilver V4’s can be purchased with balanced inputs. I used a pair for 15 years before moving to Aesthetix gear. | |
| ***All-in-one integrated***$5000.00-$7500.00***Class A/B only***Stellar Headphone*** I have Harbeth SHL5+ and have used the Ayre AX-7e, tried the EX-8 and now use the Aesthetix Mimas. None of them sound like a tube amp but all of them work very well with Harbeth's for a very musical listening experience. The Mimas is a hybrid that... | |
| Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase It's possible the seller upgraded to another Vandersteen and needed the crossovers or has an amp with the crossovers built in. In any case it sounds like he worked it out. |
