| Vandersteen 2CE Vs. Von Schweikert VR-2100 If you play your music loud do not buy Vandersteens. They will not hold up. | |
| What model Dynaco preamp do I have? Mabonn, Why would it most likely be a PAS 3X and not a 2, 2X or 3? | |
| Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker. Jim, You mentioned the speakers sounded ok until you raised them up. Maybe you should lower the speakers to their original height and just listen for a while as your new speakers break in. | |

| Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker. "they sounded crinkly in the high end with somewhat of hollow overtone in the midrange."I have no clue what this is suppose to mean.
