| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? With a budget of From my years in this hobby, if I was shopping for speakers at $1K used, my first choice would be the best deal I could find on Vandersteen 1 or 2. Various versions were produced for each model so I would look for the latest avail... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Why would you want to?OK, I'm old fashioned but I still think of "bookshelf" speakers as the ARs and KLHs of the '60s and '70s, often shown in ads actually placed in bookshelves.But I believe you are actually asking about stand mounted (monitor st... | |
| Vandersteen with? Joe, sorry wrong impression. I ordered my speakers with off-white from the factory. And since I've seen them, I know Vandersteen offers other options to black as well. You'd best get current information from them.In the event you bought used speak... | |
| Vandersteen with? Hi Joe, here is a thought on WAF.I'm sure over 90% of the Vandersteens sold (models 1, 2, and 3) have the black sox. Note that Dhel does and that his front wall is also a dark color.Years ago when I was ordering new speakers that were very large (... | |
| MONO cartridges Jonathan, thank you for the additional information. That filled in several "gaps" in the previous information I accumulated. | |
| whats the best and chiper amp to play b&w 802 Much less expensive than Krell and an excellent match (at least on the 801, have not heard them on the 802) would be the Eagle or EKSC 400 monoblocs. They were perhaps the best and most practical of Iverson's powerhouse designs. If you are not fam... | |
| MONO cartridges Jloveys, as Les McCann used to say, compared to what?I'm not arguing with your results, merely trying to understand. Are you saying your old mono recordings sound better with your LHM than with whatever stereo cartridge you used previously, or tha... | |
| MONO cartridges Hi Syntax, this info is copied from my reply to a similar question on VA. Hope it helps some. Good luck and report back. Because I own several hundred mono LPs, I've done a bit of research and made a few purchases, but unfortunately have not put m... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Drummermitchel, did you mean to say "our living room is NOT really big(11X12)"?Your post is a bit confusing. You reference buying a 900 sq. ft. home, then you say "So I have been buying gear suited more for a bigger room."Now if you are happy with... | |
| My dunlavy scV sound harsh Let's begin at square one. Is this a recent problem or has it existed since this particular set of components were connected together? More information is needed before assuming a new preamp is needed or the speakers need to be relocated.1. If the... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul, from my earlier post, you know I agree with the benefits of subwoofer(s) to both extend low frequency response and reduce distortion on speakers and amps for the upper bass and midrange.But I have a question for which I wonder if your experi... | |
| Speaker/Equipment Placement Two considerations - effect on the speakers and effect on the components.As noted, to "optimize" your sonics, you may want to avoid placing components in the middle between your speakers. This is more important if you include any video device (yes... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Hi Raul, I'm late arriving at this party and have not read through all seven pages of discussion. Therefore, forgive me if I repeat something already covered, but I'll throw out a couple of thoughts into the mix.First, I've been told that the mid-... | |
| Tripods as turntable or component base? Tripod stability as an urban legend?I've always wondered whenever I read the suggestion that a three leg support is more stable than four. Do these proponents think it is impossible for a tricycle to tip over? True that a tripod with three legs sp... |
