Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I've scheduled an extended audition  of the Treo CT and the Proac 30R next week.  The same dealer carries both. I am narrowing my choices to these two...at least for the moment.  I will report the results of my listening session.  I'm in the proce... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I think I did overstate the issue somewhat by describing unimpressed listeners as "haters".  I was clumsily trying to point out that there does seem to be somewhat of a polarizing opinion about the sound of the speakers.  I think your explanation ... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I realize that all speakers are not for everyone.  However, I seem to see this statement made in association with Vandersteen speakers more so than with other brands. I have even heard people say that either you love them or you hate them. Is my o... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I am following this thread with interest because I am considering both the Treo CT and the Quatro CT.  I have an older REL sub that I have been using with various stand mount monitors over the past 15 years.  I have been totally pleased with this ... 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
I agree with bcgator.  Enough is enough.  I'm tired of hearing Bo tell me what "audio is all about"  in "his world".  Give it a rest. 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
"Mark my words!" Do we have to? There are so many. Sometimes less is more...Bo, your enthusiasm comes across as a little preachy and dogmatic. I am happy you found a formula for putting together a sound system that you like. But, it's not like you... 
Holy Cow. My Vandersteen Treo's sound like new..
CtsoonerI'd like to branch this thread to include a conversation of the Vandersteen Quattro.You seem to have a lot of experience listening to various models of Vandersteens and like you I am a fan of their sound in general. Also like you I am inte... 
Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC?
The Fritz Carrera is also a speaker I have been very interested in. I've talked to Fritz oh the phone a couple times and these sound like a model I would like to hear. I have read reviews of some of his other models but have yet to see anything wr... 
Test CD
"Also, music breaks in the speakers to match your musical preferences. "So a speaker "broken in" on The Rolling Stones music is going to eventually sound different than speakers "broken in" on by Mozart? Really??I at least agree with the idea of "... 
How should I set up REL G1sub woofer
My experience with setting up a REL (Storm II) is that I found that I ended up setting the crossover lower than I would have thought was necessary. In general REL recommends setting the crossover lower and raising the volume a bit. I found that co... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
Maybe you didn't read the rant by the company owner that is at the core of this "pissing match". That post has been since removed.Most of what I have read about these speakers has been positive. I don't think that is the issue. As long as the feed... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
Mercifully the moderator removed the sadly misguided, and over the top post by the owner of Wavetouch. He continues to dig the hole deeper. Clearly he is spiraling out of control over this non issue. Hopefully someone who is a friend can help him ... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
"To all the doubters and people that have an opinion without knowing Anything about the product.if you have not listened to the Grand Tetons Then you are just mindlessly ranting."While this certainly makes sense I don't think it tells the entire s... 
Top brand speakers
For Bhobba...Did you ever receive the SP Tech/Aether speakers you purchased? If so, how do you like them? Which model were they again? 
Vandersteen Treo vs Harbeth 30.1
Thank you for your concise response. I was hoping for something a bit more descriptive...maybe from someone who had heard both speakers and was willing to elaborate a bit.
