| Component Impact I agree speakers can make a big difference, but not always the biggest improvement. The speakers are reproducing what they are being fed. | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? You are basically saying you bought new speakers, but you do not believe Vivid Audio knows what they are doing. Spikes will in fact alter the tonal balance. That is what changes the way a speaker images. It is no secret, manufacturers of stereo eq... | |
| I don't like the sound of my system. Help please. For starters your ARC gear should be left on all the time for best sound. It can sound hard and thin until fully warmed up which can take up to 3 days for ARC solid state and hybrid preamps.I have found ARC and Vandersteen to be a good match. Howe... | |
| Static electricity Killin me. Using a humidifier makes the most sense since low humidity is the cause of the problem. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers "By comparing Dunlavys to the Vandersteens you're comparing two speakers that are more similar to each other than most others are."I have owned both and I don't see how you can compare them other than they are both speakers. | |

| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test "Don't need to. It's the same answer as when they are louder."I couldn't disagree with you more. Spikes will make a difference at any volume, however, it will require high volume and significant bass energy to move the speakers. | |
| Manley Stingray question I doubt that you paid $900 three years ago. Even then they were selling for $1200+. | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test Correction; Dual 10" woofers. | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test 180 pounds each with dual 12" woofers. | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test On the other hand Dunlavy speakers did not come with spikes at all. However, my SCIVs had no problem with imaging or bass. My CLS only had spikes in the front, no spikes on Maggies, but Vandersteen 2 and 3s are sensitive to spikes and the type of ... | |
| Speaker Spikes - do the shake test "C4 cabinets have next to ZERO resonance even when played hard, so it's the WHOLE unit being moved by the woofers in my case."Then explain why the spikes make a difference at any volume level. |
