Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT
Ctsooner, glad to hear your Treo's sounded good that close to the wall. I'll probably do my speakers in black to blend in with all the black audio components, computer, TV etc on the same wall and not compete with the Federal style mahogany furnit...

Italian, thanks for sharing your experience.Slaw, I've asked a few questions here. Bear with me. I'm uncertain which one are you referring to as misguided. Bdp24. I looked at the Townsend pods you recommended and will track down the Youtube video....

Kingrex, a couple of questions; when you say Sorbothane can suck life, could you elaborate on that. What would be the negative effect, and how and why might this be occurring? I am trying to learn, and really don't understand how that might happen...

Terry, I'll look Panzerholz up. Where do you access it?Kingrex, I'll have to look up what a Druzy stone is. Thanks for the economical idea. There's few corners to be cut in the high end audio market.Mike

Bdp24, appreciate you getting back to me. I’ll give the 3/4" Baltic birch a try. I’ll track down some ASC Wall Damp too. What I think I am going to try are shelves constructed as bdp24 recommends. They will be edged with a strip of sorbothane to b...

Bdp24, what are you using for the "constrained liner damping"? Also How are you connecting the two pieces of 13 ply Baltic birch together, or are you simply setting one on top of the other withe the damping material in between? I read somewhere wh...

Well, Tomic601, if you and Richard have airplanes, and I do choose Vandersteens, you two might as well fly on out to Roanoke and help set up my speakers. By the way, and nothing to do with anything, the Beach Boys "Surfin USA" was the first album ...

George, appreciate you replying. I actually do have one 3/4" thick piece of marble the exact 40" length I’d need. I had it made up years ago to fit on top of an old antique cabinet housing my stereo equipment. My Bang and Olufsen turntable sat on ...

Tomic60, Richard Vandersteen came over your house to check out your Vandersteen’s speaker placement? I can’t even get the local audio store dealers to do adequate demos of their own equipmment in their own stores. You are the one.I’ll check out yo...

Johnny, thank you for responding.  That is closer than the manual on the Vandersteen Treos recommended, and it's interesting  they could sound good placed that close to the wall in spite of their being ported. I'll make a point of going and hearin...

stringreen, thanks for your advice. I've got to place whatever speaker I decide on close as possible to the wall behind it. Wish I had three feet to play with. jackd, thank you for the advice.gdnrbob, your placement sounds similar to what I need t...

Joey54, thanks for suggesting the manual download. I figured out the answer between it and the site FAQ section. Mr. Vandersteen said the speakers were designed to go within 12" of the wall, and it appears no closer than 1/3rd of the distance betw...
