| Vandy Owner needs help This may seem lowball but have you listened to the sound dynamics RTS-3, $200 from audio advisor.By the way I own the 2ce myself. These things suprised me. Several of my friends now have them and if you hate em they will be easy to sell. Don't let... | |
| Best Amp for Vandy 3A's under 3000 Used? If you don't already own the Vandersteens don't do it! I have been recomending them to people for over 15 years but not any more! Buy from people who will treat you right if you have aquestion,or make damn sure that you have good dealer support. D... | |
| best budget hi-fi speakers for my specific system I change my recomendation! No Vandersteens! Buy from anyone else! And if you do make sure you have good dealer support because if you ever call the factory with a question you will get to talk to "Dick" and it is an experience that I would rather ... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic I want to change back after today! Give me Maggies! I tried to get a simple question answered by calling the Vandersteen factory. Don't try this at home. Man what an unpleasant experience that was! Buy form people who will treat you with respect. ... | |
| Vandy 2Ce Signature Vs. Vandy 2Ce Make sure that you have a good dealer who can answer all you questions! Don't call the factory! Better yet buy something made by people who will deal with you in a polite fashion like Magnepalanars, they know how to treat their customers,unlike "D... | |
| Want sub to use with Magnepan 2.7' Mesa Baron Amp? I change my vote! Just say no to "Dick" Vandersteen products. God forbid if you have a question and need factory support, they make good products but buy the REL or anything but stuff made by him. | |
| How to shield cable ? www.michaelpercy.com has all sorts of this sort of thing. You connect the shield at the source end of the cable on the ground portion of the rca. The shield is not connected at the other end. This site has braided copper mesh and lots of cool stuf... | |
| What to put under speakers on a ceramic tile shelf Try Viprapods. It's a different approach from the standard cones or points but I find it sounds more open and dynamic. Plus it won't mess up your marble. I just put some in and that stuff is pricey! | |
| Hall of Shame Will,This remindes me of the scene from Monty Python's "The Holy Grail", where the English knight comes upon the castle enhabited by the French. Well, Will, "I already got one". And this might be the point in the scene where I dump crap on "you En... | |
| 3 Way Speakers usually given the same price point the 2 way will be the better sounding unit. Some three ways like the vandersteen 2 will compete out of it's price class. Usually the two way has an advantage of a less complex cross over and a better budget to sp... | |
| Hall of Shame "All high performance cables.." this would include the Kimber pbj at $72 a pair, not hard to fit into a budget system. I assume you have auditioned these and found them to be a poor value or of no use at all? This would also include the Custom Pow... | |
| Hall of Shame Seantaylor99 should I assume that your post is directed at me? Let me say that I won't post an "attack " until someone says something completely preposterous. So i can assume when a person says "all" of whatever sort of component or device is crap... | |
| Vandy 2Ce Signature Vs. Vandy 2Ce I am wondering about folks claiming that the 2c's are so darn hard to drive? I must have just the right size room but a single old Dyna st70 can run mine to fair levels. I also have an old Naim Nait, thing must be all of 12 watts a channel and tha... | |
| Want sub to use with Magnepan 2.7' Mesa Baron Amp? The vandersteen will work if the input impedence of the Mesa is 100k or lower. I have used these with stats and maggies and it is great, but the amp has to be able to use it. | |
| Melos Audio MAT 1000 or Audio Research VT 200? Sorry if I am screwing up someone who is unloading the Melos amps but after watching what a friend of mine went through with his I would warn strongly against anyhting that this company manufactured. I am happy there are some out there who are sat... |
