| Just moved - sound destroyed If it is a new condo, as in has not been lived in, let your system play for several days. I moved a set of vandersteen speakers into a newly finished basement, the sound was awful. I knew how the speakers should sound because I had been listening ... | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w I am sure the Sub three sounds amazing. I would love an opportunity to hear one. In the meantime I will enjoy what I have and keep an eye open for upgrade opportunities. | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w I apologize for the late response. I usually do not try to type a response on my phone, the computer is so much easier. @gdnrbob The crossover is really nothing special, a capacitor is soldered in place between the two signal carrying wires. The g... | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w @gdnrbob Thank you again for lending me your crossover and for answering my many questions. It takes a special person to trust someone they never met. | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Hello everyone, I thought it might be useful to others to update this thread. Based on the readings I made earlier I ordered .039 Audionote tin foil capacitors. I soldered one capacitor per leg to the signal carrying wires of an XLR cable. ... | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Hello everyone, I was able to borrow a WX2 from gdnrbob and do some more testing. Thanks gdnrbob! I measured the following using a Sears multi-meter. In each case my ears confirmed what the meter was telling me. All readings are using track 31 of ... | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Thank you! I will send you a PM. | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w I promise I am not ignoring advice from Richard or John at audioconnection. When I spoke with Richard he even suggested I call Johhn (audioconnection), that speaks volumes!I have tried to connect the sub several times over several months via RCA (... | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w No I have not corrected the issue yet. I am going to take a break from the problem and address it again in the future. I may order a variety of capacitors to wire in and see if that works. I still believe I have a bad WX2 or the amplifier is just ... | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Yes, I am using the shorting pins. Thank you! | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w I just spoke with Richard on the phone. He believes the problem with the using the 2w with the Aragon balanced circuit may be in the design of the amplifier. He suggest that I attempt to get the combination running using single ended connections. | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Thanks for the replies everyone! I do believe I am performing the procedure correctly. I have used the sub-woofer with 2 other amplifiers with no problems. | |
| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Yes, a phone call is probably my best option. I was hoping to avoid wasting Richard's valuable time with an older product. Thank you! | |
| Carver Amazing Ribbons Here is how I repaired a Carver Amazing Speaker:You need a multi-meter, some scotch tape, and some aluminum foil. The multi-meter was used on a setting that made a sound (tone) when the leads were shorted together. I used one lead with an alligato... | |
| Another soundstage question I have Vandersteen 2ci speakers in my basement. Before I moved them there I had them in another room. The speakers were on either side of a computer desk. I also had a Vandersteen VCC-1 in one of the upper compartments of the desk. Several times w... |
