| Does anyone else have an "ANVIL Turntable"??? I have had the Anvil Convertible for 2 years. Jollypop red plinth and motor unit. Thing of beauty. I also have an alloy platform that Bruce designed for even more vibration control an mass. I use a Jelco 750D with a Zu-103R and a ZYX Yatra. I swap... | |
| Theta Miles owners: Using preamp or direct? I agree. The only reason to use a pre with the Miles is if you have other sources to switch. The Miles was a great CDP! | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons I believe Anthony Cordesman (Absolute Sound) uses a pair of 5 Carbons as one of his references. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I moved to Ann Arbor in 2001. Overture did not carry Vandersteens then, I drove out to Royal Oak to listen to them (Audio Dimensions). I'll clarify the timelines with Overture if I ever have time to audition the Quatros! I'll report back! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Yeah Tomryan, I contacted them yesterday. Keith told me they have been a Vandersteen dealer for a year and a half. I have not been to their new location. I was pretty turned off to Overture after an experience I had there trying to buy a Linn Akur... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? I am using the XA 30.5 with the Legacy Audio Focus SE in a 15' x 22' room. Great full range speaker, 94 db efficiency. Ony rarely do I see the needle start moving. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Thanks Tomryan! I had no idea Overture was carrying Vandersteen. I will check them out and try to get a demo. One of my buddies had Thiel 3.6 powered by Jef Rowland electronics when I had my Vandy 2Ci's. Never wanted to listen too much to the Thie... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I'm a Packer fan, grew up I'm WI. Don't care for the Lions. Excited that my local university team just hired a new coach from the NFL... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I live in south eastern Michigan. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Sounds like I need to listen to a pair and hopefully arrange an in home demo. I had 2 ci's former many years and even had a Model 5 for a year. I could never get the 5 to sound as good as I thought they should. I had bought the 5 off Agon and prob... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I would get a sub or two if I was truly stuck with monitor speakers in my 2 channel system. I do use a Vandersteen sub in my HT (with an audyssey capable proc :)) but that a different ball o wax. | |
| Pass Labs Point 8 Series info I think the whole-supply/demand simple economic analysis does not really apply here. This is a luxury market where other factors drive pricing. This probably applies more to the XA 200.8 than the XA30.8. | |
| PASS XA.5 Series Amen brother. Great amps. | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I look forward to reading if the OP is able to successfully integrate the sub into his system/room and get a better sound. Its obviously possible to do. I just suspect its going to take a fair amount of tweaking, which some audiophiles enjoy. But ... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... There are good and bad to both solutions. The larger speakers will allow a more full frequency response that may satisfy your needs. This depends on your room, your system and your preferred lessening level. The dual sub option would more likely m... |
