From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
Yesterday, I drove 825 miles round trip to pick up a pair of DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers I bought off someone on Audiogon. I have finished setting them up and all I can say is WOW. So much better than the Vandersteens in every way. The mids and highs... 
From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
I picked up the pair of DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 8 speakers today from a gentleman on Audiogon. I drove 825 miles round trip in one day and I am too tired to take the speakers out of the boxes. I will set them up tomorrow and post my initial impress...

classe twenty five and classe fifteen
I run the 15 amp with a tube preamp, specifically a Modulus 3A preamp. I am very happy with the marriage.

Vandersteen vs. JBL rock music etc.
I own Vandersteen 2ce signatures and play them through an Audible Illusions Mod3a and Classe 15 power amp. With 175 watts of clean power per channel available, they can boogie really well. My taste runs from Pink Floyd (my absolute favorite), to J...

I compared the redbook portion of the sa8001 to a Jolida jd100a tube cd player. The Jolida player walks all over the Marantz. I also have a Pioneer Elite pd-65 cd player (the one with the stable platter and Legatto link processor) and although it ...
