What is the best way to add subs in my system?
The Vandersteen crossovers are not line level but speaker level. Seems like a seamless path to me. I have had Vandy 3A's with 1 then 2 subs as well as my current Quatro's. Quite a bit cheaper as well 
Does such a speaker exist?
I'm gonna throw Vandersteen out there. With Vandy subs external or built in. I love my Quatros. Like the 5's and thought the 7's were phenomenal with CAT and Simaudio 
Vandersteen 5a Carbons
audiotroyyour statement : Yes Vandys are improving but their basic sound hasn't changed much, big, unfocused images, overblown mid bass, and a shelved top end. Haven't you ever wondered why not a single reviewer uses Vandersteens as their personal... 
Speaker Cable Rebuild - Need Help
generally most cables signal flow follows how you read the lettering. Frys electronics carries shrink wrap. Audioquest has spade connectors that can be crimped. 
Speaker Upgrade Help Please
vandersteen quatros were designed to be about 12" from the wall 
Change from full range electrostat speakers advice
You have a vandersteen sub. I would get some 3A's or 2Ce signatures and crossovers. I have owned only vandersteen models for 20 years. One guarantee is they are never bright. if it sounds bright after you set them up properly it is another piece o...

Turntable rumbling
Not to state the obvious but If it was working fine then something changed there. Are all cartridge pins connected? Maybe ground wire on or stereo leads loose from amp to turntable? Have you tried with and without this ground wire connected?

Analog out from the Oppo to to receiver is what I meant 
Hi, I'm new here, and I'm an addict...
I agree with Rlwainwright except I cannot comment on EEmotiva. If your processor is going to decode the high res formats then the Oppo 103 is a great player. If you want to use the analog outputs as a 5.1, 7.1, or 2 channel out for audio then I su... 
Does long hair destroy the soundstage?
Buconero117 I leave my grill outside. I have a feeling the sound would be veiled like listening through a curtain of smoke. Weber should have a disclaimer 
Aerial 8b,s or Vandersteen 3a sig.
looks much better on paper than in reality???Many Vandersteen owners will disagree. Vandersteen and Theil are the only speakers that are designed to reproduce the wave of an acoustic instrument I believe. Vandersteen can be a little "forgiving" 
Suggestions for a good phono stage
I love my LP5.3. Dead quiet and buckets of gain. Also some benefits with the matching power supply as well.

I need help with the audio side
Lots of recordings are crap. If you want midrange, price, bass, and never bright (when setup correctly) in a speaker...In one word VandersteenPlanar and electrostat are " you are there" kind of sound but not boogie/ rock and roll. (Although I love...
