| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Tomic601, I will definitely be auditioning the Vandersteen Treo CT, hopefully next week, at a showroom I've located in northern Virginia.Sounds like you have had an interesting occupation building planes and hi-tech equipment. Richard sounds prett... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving 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... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving 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... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving Thanks Boxer12. I hadn't considered Corian.Mike | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT 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 ... | |
| Best building material for vibration free shelving 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 ... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Thanks Bob. Tomic601, I looked at your pictures. I especially enjoyed the ocean views. Nice setting for listening to music. Nice looking Vandersteens too. Mike | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT 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... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT 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... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT 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... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT 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... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Tomic60, I’ll look up HiFiBuys in Atlanta website in Atlanta and see what they have. That’s a drive and a half from here as you know though I did round trip it in one day once. Steve, I’m curious about what you finally did to get the Kef R’s up to... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Twoleftears, thanks for tailoring your recommended audio stores to my location near Roanoke and planned trip north. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you. I don't think I've come across The JS Audio name before. I'll take a look at their websi... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Tomic601, I am in Virgina, just north of Roanoke, a few hours southwest of Washington DC. I am looking forward to building stands for my DQ10’s if nothing else. I couldn’t afford them along with the DQ10’s, back in my 20’s. I do have to figure out... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Joe, The only reason I don't want used, is that speakers, like used cars, may have been abused or damaged, and potential defects may be hidden to the untrained eye or expensive to repair later on. I've had enough problems over the years with my ow... |
