| Will audio gear be ok in unheated house I would like to see Richard Vandersteen's answer on this one. He monitors the Owners Forum. Why not join and ask there? Go to the website and click Forum. | |
| You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent? As a long-time audio manufacture representative, I find this discussion both refreshing and enlightening. I believe in brick and mortar because I never heard anyone say I got the hi-fi bug by any other means than hearing a stereo that did somethi... | |
| Opinions on speaker upgrade choices Vandersteen added a new dealer in Boca Raton, Bocatech hired a very experienced audio crew and added Treo Ct, Quatro Ct, and KENTO Cabron to their demo. They are happy to make an appointment, and they also host Saturday "hang-outs" for listening.... | |

| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers Make sure you take music with you. If you rely on streaming, you depend on the streamer to make a speaker decision. Also, keep in mind that when you play an LP, you have a lot of setup parameters that affect the sound. CD players vary in sound ... | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? Which level of Transparent cables? Like any component, they can be a good match or not. If it is old Super or Reference XL cables, look to use their upgrade program. | |

| American Made Audio Products The author of this site seems to take time to qualify the Made in America portion in the description. Just because the company is based in the USA does not mean they are Made in the USA qualified. My question is, does it really matter? | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! Perhaps a hybrid answer will be right. The Vandersteen speakers at the higher levels feature passive above 100 or 200 hertz (depending on model) with 11 bands of analog eq to adjust the powered bass to your room. They are also set to measure fla... | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? Satellites with subs have been one of my favorite answers for years. Start with a small speaker that will give you great mids and highs. I work at Vandersteen and use the VLRCT. This is a recent addition to the VLR lineup and gives full informa... | |
| As much as I try, I just don't get it........ At best, you can say there is a difference, at worst you hear no change. Audiophilia as a hobby is an experiential voyage. The best and final place to make certain a change is great is your own system at home. The second best place is a dealer ... | |
| Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years?? Measurement of noise level and distortion should be the answer right? | |
