Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help
Check again how if the overhang adjustment and or the VTA is set correctly. I had that very same problem with a Grado cart, and found that the back end of the arm had to be raised a bit. 
Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
Why don't you just bi-wire?? It's easier and well worth the effort. Use Anati-Cables - very cheap and excellent.

Quicksilver V4 w/ Vandersteen 5 A
I'm using Ayre - gets pretty darn close to luscious tube sound, yet has the muscle and stability for Vandersteens. Why do you think Ayre and Vandersteens are paired in the Ayre factory sound room, and during shows.... 
best speakers for Ayre amps ?
I have Ayre V1xe with Vandersteen 5A's Can't get much better than the sound I hear. I am a professional musician and am very happy. 
Ayre D1 vs C5
I have both - The C5 is better 
ESOTERIC X-03 VS. AYRE C5XE
I own the C5 and think it is outstanding. The real surprise of this unit is its ability to make Redbooks sound so good. I have many Redbooks that sound better than SACD or AudioDVD. I've compared the sound of my VPI Sig with Benz Ebony and often t... 
wilson wp8 v. maxx2
Do some serious listening to Vandersteen 5A's with really good components and cable. I went through what you're going through. Vandees are upgradable too - no need to trade to keep on top. Wilsons can sound good with the right recording, but I fin... 
Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters?
Sounds like your amp is oscellating. Have your components checked out. even your speaker cables. It probably isn't weak Wilson tweeters. Sometimes RF gets through - do you live near an airport?? Radar is a baddy. 
Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system
I never heard Kubala. Purist has a very distinctive sound. It is unlike any cable I have ever heard. It is extremely dark, but clean and clear. It has a huge sound space, but personally, I got tired of the coloration.

Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen
I have Vandersteen 5A's and they are anything but fuzzy, cloudy, etc. I am using all top Ayre components. I tried all kinds of cable. Audioqest silver rediculously expensive, and Anti-Cables rediculously cheap are the best matches. Try using diffe... 
Long interconnect for amp
Be caeful of long runs and r/f. Did you ever think of Anti-Cables? They should be included in your search. I absolutely love them in my all Ayre/Vandersteen 5A system. 
New Record Sounds Like Crap - How???
Here's How... The new stylii are shaped like a shark's tooth instead of being round at the tip. This shape goes down into the groove where the record has never been played before. All the wear is on the top part of the groove. 
Anyone out there with a Vandersteen Quatro Speaker
Friendly Advice... I have an all Ayre top of the line system with Vandersteen 5A's. I'm bi-wireing with Anti-Cables. I've had everything in my system, and nothing except Audioquest Silver is at that level. They are cheap and excellent. Don't twist...
