Did I buy a counterfeit REL T5/i sub??
Just in my opinion, I think you have the real deal. As one of the above posts said, just listen. You should be able to pick up on something if it isn't right. When I used to buy Legacy speakers, they  would change their logos frequently, along wit...

Or sub-divided..... 
Best Integrated amp for under 4k
Hard to quantify what is best. I would recommend  a Rogue Pharaoh, with NOS tubes of your choice, and an inexpensive upgraded power cord. IMHO. 
Rogue Sphinx v Nakamichi PA 5 MMKII and a preamp
We agree to disagree. It's your speakers, your system. I just had a different opinion and responded. No, I have not compared all the speakers in question side by side but have been all over the country for many decades listening to thousands of di... 
Rogue Sphinx v Nakamichi PA 5 MMKII and a preamp
Yes. I have heard Infinity 2.5's. Also Their IRS systems. Not impressed.

Infinity RS 2.5's??? Up against the new Vandersteen's??? Not a chance in hell......

If you're having that kind of trouble with the Rogue, maybe you should consider a different pair of speakers. 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Ok guys, I'm no pro or scientist on the laws of physics, but I think we all pretty much agree that multiple pairs of large bass drivers will move significantly more air than small bass drivers. I believe much of what we hear in punchy rock/pop bas... 
Integrated for Vandersteen 2ce sigII
Stewart. What's that old audiophile line,,,,Oh yes, now I remember. "If you haven't heard it, you don't have a opinion." 
Is it idiotic to stack an amp and tuner directly on top of a CD player?
You can also warp out the drawer and its mechanism causing it to not open or close properly. This kind of damage can be permanent and the unit would have to be serviced. 
Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components
Have you considered any  high quality loudspeaker companies that make their own drivers? 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Hifiman. That's an excellent price. If I can find out the input impedance of my Rogue soon, I would definitely consider purchase. Thanks! 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Hifiman. If they were the right values for my amp, how much would you want for them? 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Hifiman. No, I don't. they showed me the type of meter I have to get to measure this. The guy at Stereo Unlimited said he could help me do this over the phone. I have a Rogue Pharaoh integrated amp. 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Yes. It was Stereo Unlimited. Don't get me wrong, Bruce has one of the finest stores I've seen/heard along with the incredible Vandersteen 7's. Maybe there was something with the Quatro's setup that wasn't quite right. Who knows? I do agree that t...
