| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? It seems this was more a hypothetical exercise for personal enjoyment than a physical pursuit of audio equipment. I invest time and energy into answering posts to help someone if I'm able and find this annoying!!! | |
| Speaker Upgrade Vandersteen 3A sigs will work in your room and with your amps! They are definitely a step up, can be bi-amped and upgraded with 2Wq's if you get the upgrade bug again.I ran; Ray 168>Pass X2.5>Pass X-150>3A Sigs and have "upgraded" everyth... | |
| Speaker Upgrade How big is the room? | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? Rufipennis I'm not knocking the 2Ce Sigs ll some prefer them to the 3A Sigs especially with the 2Wq's. I've heard the 2's, 3's,Quatro Wood and 5A's in the same room with the same equipment at Optimal Enchantment in Santa Monica CA. It was months b... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? My understanding is that the 2Ce Sig ll are a leaner sound more in line with the wood Quatro. The 3A Sigs have a more Vandesteen house sound and align with the 5A's. I've auditioned the Quatro Wood and liked the 3A Sig 2Wq combo better! | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? From a Minimalist Post Modern point of view they are very "cool", the 5A's aren't particularly exciting proportion wise and the Quatro Wood is bizzare looking. The more I live with the 3's and subs the more they grow on me, and now my wife likes t... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade Speaker cables were my biggest up grade. I didn't realize how much resolution my system was capable of and that my old S/C turned a lot of music into "background noise". It's good that you would consider "expensive" S/C because now you can get wha... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? Pubul57 you hit on my dilemma, are the 5A's 40%( as some say) and $10,000 better? I've passed on two sets of 5's because of the newer tweeters in my 3A Sigs!! | |
| What has been your most satisfying component? Audioquest Doubled Bi- Wired Volcano S/C added so much resolution, they not only upped the anti they changed the game. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room? The 2Ce Sig MKll is vastly superior because it has the 4 1/2" mid range speaker that RV invented and help make the Vandys unique sound!!! The bass is an extra plus. Hummm a Yugo or an Audi, this shouldn't be to tuff!!! The 1c is good for what it w... | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? The 1c doesn't have the Vandersteen mid range speaker one of the reasons to own Vandy's!!!! This is what you get with the move to the 2's Richard's own speaker creation the 4 1/2" mid range, very important!!!!! How can you compare inner detail and... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade Are you in the US ? | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers Ask Boobtube he had a pair of 5's that needed batteries, he pulled the units out and sent them to Vandersteen. | |
| Invalid zip codes in classifieds.. This happened to me with Bbqdrew, he lists at 94501 (CAL.) but ships from Ill. and not in a shipping center. I thought I'd get some cable in 2-3 days,instead it took well over a week. when I questioned him he just didn't answer my e-mails. | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? If you were happy with the 1c's you'll have trouble leaving your chair with the 2Ce Sigs MKll!!! Break out the Ray Brown, Jazz will blow you away through the 2Ce's!!!! When you feel rich again buy a pair of 2Wq's and you'll be in Jazz Nirvana, the... |
