| Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet? HI all, I've tried a variety of things and prefer the Symposium Svelte Plus shelves with spikes for small budgets and slighter speakers. If you can afford the bigger platforms like the Ultras/Supers you'll hear the improvement. Other listeners h... | |
| Which is the best preamp for the BEL 1001 MKVs? Do you still have your amps? If so, would you be interested in selling them? | |
| Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig. Hi Dodgealum, I think you underestimate the affect the ancillary equipment and room have on the speakers. However, your point does have some merit with the 3As. They can easily over power smaller rooms. Really any room under 15x20 is too small. Th... | |
| Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig. Hi Braro, It's interesting that your preamp had that affect. It would have been my first question anyway. You may want to try some other options in the tube arena. For cheap $$ the PSE HL-1 was always a good match...especially with upgraded tubes.... | |
| Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig. Hi Braro, The 3As should be much more dynamic than you describe. Mine have plenty of slam and jump factor. What is the rest of your system like?Just curious... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro / Model 5 Set Up Guys, the Vandersteen dealers with Quatros and 5As know how to set them up. The SPL Meter and Stereophile test disc work fine for most rooms. However, that said, there are defintely some "artists" out there who do a significantly better job due to... | |
| Vandersteen 5a's - an upgrade from Vienna mahlers? Hi Bigtee,The ear height measurement is not that critical if the rest of the set up is spot on. The 5As simply have too large of a "sweet spot". Yes, it helps, but I've not noticed a big difference between one washer and two as an example. (This g... | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge 4yanx, where are you located? Have you contacted Richard? | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge Machine, I guess you've just got to consider leaving well enough alone. The 5s are still awesome speakers! In the end, if you decide to upgrade it's still going to be very, very difficult to find anything better top to bottom. Then the $$ may make... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II We'll find out more detail after the show...stay tuned. So far it's a new model with the 3A Sig midrange and tweeter. Retail price is $2,145 with stands. Delivery starting in 2007... | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge To Machine and 4yanx:I understand your perspective so let me try and answer your questions. 1. What does the upgrade cover? Generally it includes getting the speakers packed (if you have the shipping material still...otherwise you need to buy it i... | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge Hi Aubullience, the 5As have more top and bottom end range than the 5s. They're also considerably faster and more transparent. You'll find that the room problems you had before will be more noticeable, but just as tunable. Your dealer will do this... | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge Hi, I've been the original owner of my 5s/5As and the upgrade is very significant. Absolutely worth every penny. Feel free to read about it in my system. However, I can't comment on how to spend your money. The turntable is also a worthwhile upgra... | |
| Theta David II vs Theta Carmen II Hi, keep your Carmen II! I've had both and it's no contest.Cheers! | |
| Has any one heard Magico Speakers? I heard the system that was reviewed in TAS...the top of the line with individual amps for each driver. In a nutshell, they're the best I've ever heard at conveying the presence and sound of real instruments. Top to bottom they were simply amazing... |
