| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers Hi, I just posted last night in my System about the Quatros if you're interested. | |
| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers Howdy! I have a pair of Quatros on the way from the factory. I've also spoken to RIchard about them in more detail. Once I have them installed and broken in I'll let you know what I think.Cheers, Mike | |
| Power for Thiel 7.2 I suggest monoblock BEL 1001s or Theta Dreadnoughts. Both will be excellent with your speakers. | |
| Spica TC-50/REL Strata II vs. GMA Europa? First, to answer your question. There was a Kinergetics Subwoofer/amp and stand set made for the Spica TC-50s that fixed many of the problems that speaker had/has. Paired up it was one of the most holographic and musical speaker systems of the ear... | |
| Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers Latest Update from Vandersteen:I just spoke to the factory and the Quatros are going to be shipping within the next 30 days. The final price is $6,995/pair. Orders for them are already being taken by dealers. In fact, there is already a small back... | |
| Preamp for Vandersteen 2ce sig w/ Mccormack DNA0.5 Try a PSE HL-1 for a budget Pre. It's excellent and has some very usefull features. Also, it's a hybrid with a few tubes so you get the benefit of tube swapping if you want to. | |
| Vandersteen's, optimum placement, room limitations Hi, the new Quatros should suit your needs since they will have an ajdustable bass amp. It's similarity in this respect to the Model 5 will allow you to place them where you (generally) want them and then to tune the bass for that spot. Additional... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Extrema If you have the opportunity to audition a pair of BEL 1001 monoblocks it will be worth your time. Als, the Theta Citadels might be a good match depending on your taste. | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? You may want to visit your local Vandersteen dealer again. In addition to the Model 5s he will have Quatros this summer. They are essentially the head unit of a Model 3 with a built in 2WQ sub on either side (this is a great simplification for the... | |
| Best amp for Vandersteen 2sig Hi, I've really enjoyed the Quicksilver monoblocks on them. People I trust have also liked them with the Audio Research amps. For home theater the Theta Dreadnought is good. Each of these depends mightily on your budget, preferences and if you wan... | |
| Suggestions for the best SS amp for Tympani 4a's A new BEL 1001 mk V or a pair of used Mk IIs or IVs if you can find them. | |
| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? Hi, I've listened to several amps with the 3.6s and only recommend a BEL 1001 mk V. It's one of the only amps to get truly good bass out of them. Plus, they deliver the goods when it comes to the rest of the music as well. 100wpc into 4ohms doesn'... | |
| vandersteen 5 to 5a The power supply is the only change in the sub amp. You'd have to build the rest of the amplifier to do that... Probably not worth it IMHO. Just buy a pair of V2Ws or a digital Velodyne. | |
| Vandeersteen 5s - Amp / Pre-Processor Hi, the only surround system that will give you a front end worthy of your 2 channel system would be to keep what you have (assuming your pre-amp has a processor loop) and then add a Theta Casablanca with your choice of DAC. None of the preamp pro... | |
| Better SS amp than my Bryston? Hi, If you can find a used BEL 1001 Mk IV in that price range jump on it. It's got plenty of juice and will amaze you on a pair of Maggies. Seriously, it has no competition.Cheers, Michael |
