| Bought Wilco and Cowboy Junkies this weekend.... UltrakazThat is too funny. I noticed that, too. I wonder how much music I would love if only I listened to it 20 or 30 times before I came to my final conclusion. Is music like a good set of speakers? Does it require a break in period I can't say ... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. It could be worse. Your friend might have said Bose. | |
| Tweak: raising the subwoofer off the floor... Davesen, my upgrades were minimal, but I actually think it helped. Here is what I did.1. I took the subwoofer apart.1. I removed the plastic, rubber feet and replaced them with some steel spikes that I got from Partsexpress.com, I epoxied the feet... | |
| Vandersteen users; do you biamp? Wait! Joeavid said up above that Richard Vandersteen told him to NOT biamp and Garfish is telling me that Vandersteen recommends biamping(or are biwiring and biamping different things?)I am confused. | |
| Vandersteen users; do you biamp? How absolutely not necessary? The Vandersteens were on my short list of loudspeakers and now to find out that unless I bi-amp, I will not get the best that I can get from the speakers is very depressing. I guess my search continues. It isn't that ... | |
| Tweak: raising the subwoofer off the floor... Maxgain, one thing is certain in my future; Vandersteen 2Ce. After reviewing my requirements and hearing a pair, I think that is the way I'm going to go. The subwoofer is another story. I want to listen to the 2Ces for a few months before I add a ... | |
| Tweak: raising the subwoofer off the floor... Maxgain,Do you think the sub stand could reduce the need for corner bass traps? | |
| Tweak: raising the subwoofer off the floor... Maxgain, I saw the ASCsub stand and it looks interesting, but I am not sure as to how it traps bass. Have you done any research on this? | |
| Subwoofer thoughts from a newbie... I have some "Ok" mains, B&W DM602, that I am hoping to upgrade to Vandersteen 2Ce later on this year. The DM602 are great for Mid and Hi, but they don't do much at the low end; hence, the subwoofer. However, the Vandersteen can go below what m... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? How do you guys get a chance to listen to all these great speakers? Do you belong to a club? Do you have friends that are all audiophiles? I am alone when it comes to good listening stuff in my group of friends, so I have no one to share any of th... | |
| Overtubing? Danger? As I understand, it is the inefficiency of tubes versus the efficiencies of transistors that give tubes that warm, human sound. Tubes add harmonics that transistors leave out. Am I right? Ok, if I am on the path. What happens when a component with... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Is there any danger with DIY items? I have been trying to get my room acoustically treated and I have been researching the possibility of making my own stuff. I have a friend of mine that has built acoustic panels and bass traps using fiberglass a... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo Garfish, my room is small, I mean very small. It is about 12x12 on a good day, but it is practically empty except for the system and I have some homemade room treatments in there. I have done my amateur best to get a nice sound in the room.After r... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo This has been a big eye opener when it comes to what I want, what I need and what I should get. After reading all the specs on the Vandersteen site and reading what other who own them have to say, I now feel that the Model 5A may be a little more ... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo Thanks for all the feedback. I have alot to think about. Ok, I understand how the source and amp make a big difference. Right now I have two 60 watt, tube, monoblocks, no-name and hand built, and I am interested in getting something by Audio Resea... |
