Grand Veena and ? speaker cable
My jumpers say Cardas.They are two solid strips per speaker.I am still confused. 
Anyone have comments on radical toe in?
I went back to the conventional set up, nearly no toe in.The radical toe in that I tried was a 7 inch difference between the left side of the speaker's top and the right side.In my case the left side of the speaker was 60 inches from the back wall...

I have been reassured that any GV speakers built after May 2009 are the latest revised units.I would be 100% reassured if there was a date of manufacture somewhere on the speakers.Anyone with the latest version that would like to chat PM me.

They do, but Ipaid this years money I want this years speaker.If it is old stock it , it should be priced accordingly. 
Grand Veena and ? speaker cable
This is what I intend to do, once I verify that the internal wire in mine is a match.I have plans for the speaker wire, a couple pair of interconnect and a couple power cords .Depends on my findings.

Thanks for the help.The descriptions of what's new and not are most welcomed.My only concern is that I ordered the latest improved model yet some of the descriptors don't match what I received.The screws to the mid and tweeter do look to be painte... 
Reference 3A Grand Veena
I believe the screws are brass, painted black on tweeter and mid.Super tweeter is brass, woofers aren't painted,so they appear to be reg non brass screws.Also different screw heads.The speakers have spikes,and they are black/grey,I can't tell if t...

Having been there in the 1970's, let me tell you there were a lot more poor sounding speakers then than now.Some of todays cheaper speakers are much better than those from "good old days"Hey, the Japanese were buying and listening to 1960 Altecs a...

FLA the stacked Quads did somethings very well,but other things not so well.They were a system that drew you into the music.I had different amplification then(Atmasphere MP3, S30)so I can't compare .What I can say is that in the same room where so... 
Reference 3A Grand Veena
Mine are just about two weeks old and are still breaking in but already I am very pleased with them.They just replaced a pair of Merlin TMMX, and a pair of Tannoy Ardens, and I don't feel that I made the wrong decision.I have been an electrostat f... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
Iwould take the Vandersteen 5A, but hearing it and the Grand Veena for half the money,I just might find other things to spend the 12 large I saved.
