| vandersteen 5 to 5a The upgrade is more than worth the cost. I was amazed when I got them and they worked in. The sound is at least 40% better IMHO. As for the parts, what would you do with them? | |
| vandersteen 5 to 5a Hi, I've had mine upgraded and it's worth it. This is not a field upgrade. Vandersteen will not send out kits at this time. Call the factory for details. | |
| Mark Levinson transports Hi, I've compared the No. 31.5, 37 and 39cdp in my system with my Theta DAC. There is a definite difference between them and even my Theta Carmen II DVD Transport. Of all, the cdp was the worst. The 31.5 was more analytical and allowed me to hear ... | |
| what pre for quicksilver v-4s IMHO the PreAmps that worked well with the V-4s in my room were: PSE, Quicksilver and Aesthetix (out of your budget range). | |
| Theta Enterprise or Ayre V1x with Vandy 5A Not yet, but Audio Concepts in Houston has. They still prefer the BEL amps. My system and theirs is very similar...but they have a better front end. I'll have them in my system in the future. Until then, I'll have to go with what I know now. As al... | |
| AMP-Preamp Combo for Vandersteen 2CE's Hi Eagleman, it really depends on your price range. I'm running my 2CE Sigs on a Rotel Receiver mostly. However, I've run them on my downstairs system and they are revealing enough to justify a true high end system. So far, I've liked amps from Qu... | |

VSM Signatures with a subI own the VSMs and VSM Sigs. If you can fit them on the wall with a sub on the floor it's a great system, especially if ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? BEL 1001 Mk V - Awesome! | |
| Theta Enterprise or Ayre V1x with Vandy 5A Hi Worldcat, I'm not sure what you base this on but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. As with any component YMMV in any given system.That said...I'll happily put the BEL amps up against anything out there. If you can find something better... | |
| Theta Enterprise or Ayre V1x with Vandy 5A Hi, I agree with Rex on the cable point. I've used K-B cables and they're great...but I also noticed a softening of the midbass and a lessening of PRAT. Try other cables before you spend megabucks on another amp.As for the amps, I suggest that you... | |
| Vandersteen 2 upgrade to sig question Hi, upgrades to Signatures are no longer available for Model 2s. | |
| Personal amp evolution Started with a Yamaha 200wpc beast that promptly blew up after one hour of playback! The dealer then set me up with an Adcom GFA-555 which was stable and sounded great. I then moved on to a Musical Design D-150. After that, I purchased my first pa... | |

| WAF Alert: McCormack DNA .5 on Vandersteen 2W sub? Hi, Try a Symposium "platform" for your amp. It should take care of any ill effect from it's new location. Try it before you buy it from your local dealer!Cheers, Mike |
