Vandersteen Seven Review
Model Seven owners it would be nice to see you weigh in on this discussion and help support and grow the brand of the Sevens. It seems like we are a more passive group and not nearly as vocal as other brand owners are. There have been almost none ...

The Sevens strip accepts the large spades now. 
Vandersteen Seven Review
There seems to be a common theme here with John from Audio Connection setting up all our speakers. I reallly appreciate his knowledge of what it takes to make a room and a system sound good. He really has been instrumental in helping me to build t... 
Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard?
Vandersteen Seven: The Ultimate Disappearing Act Utilizing advanced technologies to render an object virtually undetectable is one definition of the word STEALTH. Stealth is not commonly used, but became a household word during the Gulf War. The U... 
Review: Jim Smith Home Consultation & Set Up Speaker
As a audiophile I was always searching for the next level of performance in sound in my room. I tried many equipment changes and tweaks over the years and most of the time achieved a higher level of performance but always questioned if the changes... 
Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches
I ended up with Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7 and RCA clear top 12au7's. This combination is just awesome. 
Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches
richfield_hunter.I also have my 5A's hooked up to Rogue Audio Zeus. It sounds awesome. I have rolled the 12au7 tubes and 12ax7 tubes in this amp and it raised it to a new level. Prior to the Zeus and when I had must model 5's I had a ARC VTM 200's... 
Which preamp to buy?
If you can find a PSE HL1 it is much better than the VTL 5.5. You can usually buy for around $1,200 or so. Dean does and upgrade to this also which takes the HL1 to a league that only the top preamps can beat.

Try the Vecteur L4.2. the unit is not very well known but is a killer CD player. Very detailed yet not bright. Massive soundstage and very clean sounding. 
Audience Au24 speaker cables with Vandersteen
I am using Au 24's with Vandy 5's in the biwire cofig. Fantastic sound. The best speaker Cable I have auditioned. 
aerial10t vs. vandersteen 5
No comparison. Go with the Vandersteen 5's. They are arguably in the top of the class along with some other brands. The 10 t's although good are not in the same league. 
BAT VK-75SE or Rogue Zeus
I have not heard the BAT. However the Zeus is fantastic. It bested ARC vtm 200's in my system. 
Come On, Zeus-ers, How Does the Big Rogue Sound?
The Zeus truly is a God among amps. I replace ARC VTM 200's with the Zeus. It bested the ARC monoblocks in every way. Especially the midrange. You can not beat the sound of midrange in triode mode.Jeff 
CD Players $1,000 - $1,500 US - any info on Talk?
Try the Vecteur L4 or L4.2. They are awesome players beat anything in their price class 
Best monoblock tube amp with Vandersteen 5A
It's not a monoblock but try the Rogue audio Zeus. I a/b'd it against a pair of ARC VTM 200's and found the Zeus to better the ARC's in every way. The midrange on the Zeus is killer in triode mode. I use a PSE HL1 preamp and the combination of the...
