Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
+1 yogiboyLooks like it will do essentially the same thing for a lot less money.  You have nothing to lose by trying these. 
Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
The KAB rumble filter uses audiophile grade parts and I can't hear any difference with it in or out other than the bass not distorting and the woofers not going into oscillation..  The quantity and quality of bass remains the same.  You can order ...

I am sure the Triton 1 will be much better in that system once my References come in.  I am holding off buying an integrated until I attend the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest this October. 
Best indoor FM antenna, your experience.
Magnum Dynalab makes a one piece whip antenna that can be used indoors or outdoors.  I use one in each of my systems and they work very well.  I think they go around 130-150.00.

I am willing to bet you are getting some feedback. Can you remove the grill and observe if the woofer is oscillating abnormally? If it is, its a feedback problem. I had this problem with my Scout and now my Prime. My turntable is on top of a rack ... 
Just Ordered New Speakers
I received email from Sandy at GE tonight stating my speakers are being shipped to the dealer tomorrow.  I am hoping to get them by this weekend, keeping fingers crossed.

There is nothing wrong with the speakers, I already put the speakers in my main system and they sound fine.

@mr_m I am sure the new signature II sound much better than the 2ci speakers, but I had the original 2ce signatures, a totally different animal.  The metal dome tweeter was very offensive to my ears.  Also, I found the Vandersteen sound a little t...

@213runninHow would you know unless you heard my system, and I do not ever remember inviting you over for a listen? I have been in the high end hobby for over 45 years, I think I can correctly assess my system better than someone who perhaps heard... 
Intigrated Amp Dilemma
Don't want to do that.  I have separates in my main system.  I want this system to use an integrated.  I am currently looking at a Cary  SI-300.2D 300wpc  integrated amp. 
Another Vandersteen model 2 question
At one time, I had both the 2ci and the 2ce signature.  I liked the 2ci better and kept them.

@zimmerma Are you the spell check police? 
Intigrated Amp Dilemma
There is a Cary amp I may look into.  Its a SI-300.2D class A/B integrated with enough inputs, power 300wpc, and an AK built in dac.  It's 6K retail.

@dill Would truly love that amp but its double what I can spend.   I already spent 8K on the Triton References so my funds are limited.
