| Best Headphone system under $1000??? I have older 2CEs and an Odyssey Khartago. PM me if you're putting your system up for sale! (" For reference, my big system has Vandersteen 2CE Sig 2s, Odyssey Kismet amp"). The Kismet intrigues me!As for headphones, I love my Sennheiser 650s, and... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Vandersteen Treo CT or Magico A3 ... less than $10k (well, not after tax w/Magicos!). Vandersteen Quatro CT will push you just above the $15k mark if you buy new. | |
| Simple Question re Tidal Playback I am researching through options for streamers (I like the Aurender N100C the best so far), but in the meantime, I use a Google Chromecast audio puck to stream via wi-fi from my Macbook. I have the Chromecast connected into my preamp/DAC (Audio Al... | |

| attn vandersteen dealers upgrade my 1ci to 3(latest) +1 on Advanced Audio in Tacoma and if near LA, Optimal Enchantment in Santa Monica, CA is superb too. | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Should be the same as for a small listening room, yes? Might want to skip the double subs if you are on the 2nd floor though :) | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black CTSOONER: re "My take away has always been that here's a guy on the mount rushmore of audio and he takes our phone calls when needed. WOW."I posted a question on the "Ask Richard" area of their website and instead of him replying online, he calle... | |
| Vandersteen help needed Joe, I have 2CEs in a room that is about 11x14, and I have them on the long wall (short wall won't work due to a door and windows). I’ve always used Vandersteen’s owner’s manual setup instructions on placement... do the chart and the math, and exp... | |

| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I had a Carver TFM-55 (iirc) that was great. I only sold it to get my McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? McCormack. I have (had) a DNA-1 Deluxe that I bought in the mid-90s, but iirc his designs pre-date that. Awesome amp which I used for 20 years but it just broke. I could do the SMc Audio gold upgrade on it for $1800 and basically get a brand new a... | |
| Best integrated from this list... audioconnection "The Belles Aria offers a superb match with Vandies"I am curious why Belles seems to be a well-kept secret. They have few dealers, and don't get reviewed much. The reviews I have read are excellent. It's curious. | |
| Best integrated from this list... I look forward to reading the responses, jsbach1685. I have Vandy 2CEs (old, want new Signatures) and my listening room is about the size of yours. It's our new house, and I was worried they would overwhelm the room but they sound great! I am runn... |
