| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- soix, You may have misunderstood me. The issue I have is with publications who don’t pay what I would consider a proper rate for reviews, and instead take advantage of the willingness of reviewers to do the work for a low pay scale with some prom... | |

| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? zimick I ended up buying a pair of the Harbeth SLH 5 Anniversary about two years ago. I've listened to the Harbeth 30 and 40 at Gig Harbor (WA) Audio (a fine store to visit)... sweet speakers! That "BBC sound" is special. It is interesting tha... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? skucie Moving from the 2CE Sig 3 to the Treo CT is a huge leap. Probably bigger than you realize. I'm sure you would be absolutely thrilled with the Treo CT. That carbon tweeter is really something, but you might also consider the non CT Quat... | |

| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? Greetings, Dan! I’m in Port Angeles. I thought when we moved here we would spend a lot more time going to Seattle but we really don’t (but should more). I do trek down to Tacoma to the local closest friendly Vandersteen dealer. P | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- Hi soix Most publications/sites pay reviewers next to nothing for the many, many hours of work it takes to write a review from unboxing to finish I take issue with these terms of work, but I suppose it’s the reality in magazine/publication eco... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? A review of the previous generation Vandersteen Treo, by John Atkinson. He loved them, so I wish he would review the newest CT. Treo review from 2013 --> Hi jc4659 Actually, I have been keeping my eyes out for used Quatro CTs and Treo CTs (the... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? I appreciate the replies! Some brands are familiar to me and I’ve even heard some of those. Others I would have to look up and read about. Since I am somewhat lazy, the thought of driving near and far, or even very far, to audition some of the mor... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? tomcarr I’m still a Vandy fan, just wanted something different currently I get it! I used to laugh at the guys who say "I’m a Ford man" or "You won’t catch me driving anything but a Chevy!" 😁 Variety is the spice of life and all those other c... | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? soix I heard the Josephs at the Seattle show recently and they sounded VERY nice. I'll look up the others...thanks. P | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? tomcarr Congrats on the B&Ws and getting a good deal! To be fair though, they are in the same (new) price bracket as the Vandy Quatro CTs, and I would buy those in a heartbeat and never look back. They are special. Cheers. | |
| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? If you’re reading this, a certain person whose handle begins with T, don’t think I am a heretic or defector or don’t appreciate your advice and generosity. I do! I get analysis paralysis or over-analyze and second/third/fourth guess myself. It’s a... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- soix THANKS for your perspective as a reviewer. I didn’t mean for anyone to think I’m making a broad accusation about the integrity of high-end audio reviewers— I certainly am not. Just as I took camera reviews in consumer magazines like Popular ... |
