Input Impedance of Dreadnaught II
Thanks guys. I did set it at 100K. Wow...it is wicked sounding! I dont know whether the HUGE difference is the Quatros over the 3A/2WQ combo or the Dreadnaught II over the Bryston, but we arent talking about a moderate difference here! Babybear, w... 
benifits of reclocking
Hello guys. Thanks for all of your responses...even the responses to what is for me an age old expression. I REALLY never anticipated reponses on the expression, but it was quite humorous (not only the responses but the fact that the expression ge... 
Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies
Well guys I am not crazy after all (not that anyone said I was...I was just starting to wonder myself as this problem didn't make sense).After much playing around, I contacted James Tanner of Bryston and ultimately one of his "experts" Mike Picket... 
Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies

Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies
Thanks for the responses.Steve, thanks I do love my system. I am baffled with this problem (disapointed actually). I have the temporary crossover in place right now. It is a single ended crossover. I will get the balanced version to use when I dec...

Vandersteen sub purchase and placement?
By the way, I misread "not to use a V2W and a 2WQ together". He says not to use a 2WQ and a 2W together which doesn't apply to me.Sorry. 
Vandersteen sub purchase and placement?
Thanks Douglas.As far as the V2W producing "less exact bass", in reading reviews such the "Widescreen Review" / Audio Perfectionist review it is stated that V2W is a 4.5 out of 5 on "music" and a 5 everywhere else. So, less exact, I would agree, b... 
XLR's using Canare L-4E6S between Bryston amp/proc
Well...perhaps I am a little crazy, but I opted to go for the Bryston XLRs as well as the Bryston speaker cable. I got a pretty good deal on them, although they were still expensive (compared to what I was used to spending on my old system). I jus...
