| kronzilla who listened? I've listened to two sets (different power ratings) in the same room/system. I can't say that they're world class, but they were good. They had several major problems when compared with a BEL amp. However, I am not writing to bash the sound of the... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro My understanding is that they're roughly equivalent with the benefit of the wood version primarily being in its appearance. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro From the Vandersteen Web Site:Bill (5/2/06): Richard, I have heard rumors that the wood Quatro's do not sound as good as the normal grille wrap version. Could you elaborate on this? I find them very elegant and am considering them but its a lot mo... | |
| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? Vandersteen Quatros would be a perfect fit for your system and room. | |
| Full-range Floorstanders: Can you recommend? Bring home and audition a pair of Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signatures. A new pair will be best as they do improve by vintage. They are under $2k new and will give all the rest serious competition. Older ones from the last few years will also impress.... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro vs. GMA Calypso Give 'em a listen. The Quatro is superb...almost as good as 5As. Not sure about the GMA product. I can honestly say that the Quatros are worth your time to audition though. | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K Nothing will touch a pair of Vandersteen Model 5s properly installed by a dealer. For your money you can get a pair of NEW Qautros too. I assure you they will make you think before buying anything else. They're amazing for the money.Have fun and g... | |
| Fine Tuning Vandersteen 5s An offer gone missing You absolutely can NOT tune the Model 5s or Quatros by ear. Read the manual and follow the procedure there. You'll get 80% of the tuning done right there. A qualified and practiced Vandersteen retailer/installer is the only person who will get you... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius i vs. Spica TC-60 Sorry, I did misread it! Oooopps. ;-) No recommendations on amps...I haven't had the chance to listen to those speakers enough.Good luck! | |
| Martin Logan Aerius i vs. Spica TC-60 Hi, to answer your question about a speaker to try...I suggest you try a pair of recent Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures. If they're set up properly I think you'll like them a lot. Your electonics sound sufficient for them and as you upgrade they'll res... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II HI Vladimir, the image height is adjustable using washers and the footer cones. My 5As image higher than that. It's very natural. The manual gives directions on this and is very accurate. | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . Hi, I'm not convinced it's your speakers. More likely it's your amp that you're hearing. I suggest trying a different amp (Maybe borrow one) before worrying about the speakers. The 2s will play plenty loudly with the right amp in place. Since you ... | |

| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Hi, I have a couple of comments:1. Regarding the comment by Jeff Jones - "The typical bass advantage of solid state is likely not much of a benifit." This is not entirely true, although his point is well made. The amp you choose is no longer direc... | |
| Vandersteen, Coincident or Green Mountain Based on your description I strongly suggest you audition the Quatros as they will be a perfect fit for you. Once you've heard them compared with the other speakers you can make your own call. Let you ears do the buying! |
