| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more If you are considering spending $10K on the Revel F228’s you should see if you could audition the Vandersteen Treo CT’s. They sound great for all types of music and your Amp has plenty of power to drive them. | |
| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K I’ll second the Vandersteen Treo CT’s. I have had the original Treo’s for a few years now and continue to be blown away by how good they sound. I have similar music tastes as you and listen to vinyl, CD’s and Stream and all formats sound great at ... | |
| If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living? Yes on the Relayer Tour in 1974. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Natalie MerchantLinda Ronstadt Emmylou HarrisComment on Jennifer Warnes. Possibly one of the best vocalists out there but my tastes lean more towards rock and blues. The song she did on the Duets album with Rob Wasserman is absolutely outstanding. | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. Following up on a few suggestions on upgraded fuses which I never thought would make a difference but since it was mentioned by a few people in the know it has gotten my curiosity up. I checked out the Synergistic website and see they have a few o... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. I agree. They make a great speaker with great support and they have answered all of the questions I've asked right away. I'm a big promoter of Vandersteen and have never doubted my decision to go with the Treo's. | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. Thanks for the information on GIK. I will be curious to see what they have to say with the "Minimal Treatment" box checked.With that said I like the idea of trying some of the smaller tweaks as I am a believer in the Theory of Continuous Improveme... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. cd318, thanks for the input on the turntables. I have a basic surround sound system in our family room and I have my old Technics SL-3200 on that system and it is still kicking and doesn't sound bad but gets very little use. I didn't realize Techn... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. Thanks for all of the input on acoustic treatments and while I don't doubt I could get some improvement the layout of the room with a wall unit, windows (with shutters), and glass doors limits the amount of wall space that I have for hanging just ... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. freedriver, thanks for the response. I agree that Room Acoustics could definitely help but they would need to be on the inconspicuous side as my system is in a room that is not always a dedicated audio room. I appreciate the suggestion. | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. I had another response asking if I had tried connecting power from the Amp directly to the wall outlet and I did and did not notice any difference in the sound. Using the power conditioner is more of a concern about power surges as some of my neig... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. jjss49, Thanks for the response. I guess since I don't have anything to compare to on what could be improved in the sound of my system I am just searching for ideas from looking just at the hardware alone. I appreciate your comment and may just lo... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. Thank you to millercarbon for the response and advice. For a start I am going to look into adding the BDR Cones and Discs and Ceramic Cable Elevators in addition to some of the other tweaks that you have mentioned. Adding the sub-woofers is someth... |
