| Best monitors under $5,000/system combos The caravelle's are simply amazing. I have owned them now for 6 months. Bested Hales 5's, diapason adamontes II, spendor, maggies, etc. that I have owned. I brought them over to a audiophile that owns Wilson Maxx's - honestly the Caravelles do thi... | |
| Tubed preamp suggestions? I have owned and upgraded with VAC equipment and must say it is the finest I have owned. VERY musical. Call Kevin at VAC and ask for his input, he is very approachable and knowledgeable and HONEST. He is a vinyl lover and his phono preamp stage is... | |
| Review: Star Sound Technologies Sistrum 101 & Spo1 & SP004 speaker Stand Ditto, I have the speaker stands, and the sistrum racks for my amps and all of my front end. Musical, with dynamics and greater resolution. This stuff is the real deal. And you get a money back guarantee. I have VAC PHI equipment and also the Cara... | |
| Vac Standard 220 standard, signature, or Phi The Phi series is Kevin's best to date. I have the Phi's (110's) and they are musical and revealing. They are very fast and dynamic, with lots of air. No shortages to speak of. They are realitively new and if you can find them used you should jump... | |
| Greatness: Recognition at last Panderso, you will love the warmth and musicality of these speakers. They are NOT THIN sounding by ANY stretch. In fact they are extremely musical. I have them in a near field listening set up and they image and dissapear. The bass will surprise y... | |
| Outstanding Speakers, Outstanding BLCube, glad you are enjoying them. I think you will continue to hear subtle improvements past the two month timeframe (depending upon your length of listening sessions and break-in). | |
| Got any of your dream system yet? definitely cryo your cd's - I am amazed at the improvement in dynamics, smoothness, detail, air around instruments, etc. And your whole system benefits. VAC PHI - with caravelle speakers will be kept for awhile for sure - no burning desire to upgr... | |
| HP Caravelle Monitor V/S Manger Zerobox109 I love it when people defend a speaker or compare without even listening to the other speaker....but base it on cost of a cone? "Should sound much better?" Trust your ears...I have not listened to a manger speaker, check out my comments, "sorry, n... | |
| Theta Data II -Is it a forward sounding transport? Problem solved...Bad tubes in DAC was the culprit - age and probably quality were the culprits...thanks. Theta is back to excellent standards - stands are critical. | |
| Theta Data II -Is it a forward sounding transport? Thanks guys. It was a general question as I know some have told me that there are better transports and that it can be a forward sounding player. I have not found that to be the case per se, but am interested in the possibility of upgrading my tra... | |
| HP Caravelle Monitor V/S Manger Zerobox109 Sataym, I have only heard the Mangers at a show, in show conditions and it was awhile ago, so I really don't have an accurate point of reference. I wasn't really sure what the model was either. Sorry, not much help here. I will post a review after... | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Gee, if you can try the product and return it risk free, what is all the fuss about? Can someone elighten me? I mean its not like they are making or forcing anyone to buy it? Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery - today is the only certainty. | |
| HP Caravelle Monitor V/S Manger Zerobox109 I am in the midst of breaking in a new pair of Caravelle's. They really are that good...I could go on and on. Email me if you would like. They are worth far more than their asking price. They do things that other speakers I have owned don't do...I... | |
