| Wilson Audio Sophia 2 or Goldenear Triton 1 If sharp and froward are what you have in mind then the Wilson's will be just right. Have not heard the Goldenear.As other have mentioned audition both and let your preferences decide | |
| amp for vandersteen Quatro maybe vandersteen 5a I have used many different amps with Vandersteens over time: Levinson, Belles, McCormack and Conrad JohnsonFor me the CJ's are the match I prefer and have been using with Vandie 5A's for many years. Very listenable | |
| VANDERSTEEN 5A Have had Vandy 5A's for nearly 10 years, sound as good as nearly anything, and have never had a one problem. Owed 2Ce's and 3A's and 3A sigs before.Something must be wrong with he electrical supply in your house | |
| Vandersteen Treo's Surprised that Wilson and Vandersteens would be mentioned as both having a rolled off top octave.From my listening (5a and Sofia) in my system I would say that the Vandees have a very smooth and at some level extended top end, not fatiguing in any... | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus vs 804s vs Vandersteen 2C II B&W 804's are very much on the bright side, and I found them irritatingly fatiguing.The Vandies will be something that you will want to listen to for hours on end...neutral and accurate in my experience.I think a better comparison would be the... | |
| Room size suitable for which Wilsons? I can not speak about the Watt puppy 8's or the MAXX2's. But I have a very similar sized room and have had Sophia's in the room they worked fine as far as the low end goes...and did not over power the room. | |
| $ 2500 ....Stay with Vandersteens ??...what else ? Once you are connected to the Vandersteen sound you may find it difficult to accept another brands sound characteristics. There is something to be said for the rightness of the 1st order X-overs/time-aligment-baffeless design. I have had many othe... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig + Krell KSA-100S or Linn LK140? I can not comment on the Linn as I have never used oneI did use a Krell KSA 150 for quite some time with some Vany 3A's...it was a good match. I would think that the KSA 100S would be a good fit also...the Krell will be a touch forward compared to... | |
| What do you think of Vandersteen 5a's? Aris Audio in Salt Lake City has Vandersteen 5A's in place for you to addition. The set up is actually real as Aris Audio occupies a portion of Scott's home. Scott (the owner) is a great guy and I am sure you will find him more than helpful. Maybe... | |
| Anyone out there with a Vandersteen Quatro Speaker I do not own Quatros...have had other Vandy products in the past.One item that Stang500hpaol did not mention is the minimum distance you must be from the drives for them to integrate (something that is required of 1st order crossover designs). I a... | |
| Upgrade Vandy 3A's or get larger amp? First of all what 65 what amp are you using? If it is for example, a Levinson #29 or a Krell KSA 50 then you are getting much closer to 100watts (or maybe closer to 130) into the 3A’s 4-ohm load (a bit lower in the upper base). I you are using a l... | |
| Belles150 vs Aragon8002 Better…I do not think you can use the word “better” to describe most amplifiers. I would use different. Which one is “better” or appeals to your tastes will have to be judged in your system. In general terms: The Belles is considered tube like, ni... | |
| Best Pre-Amp w/Throughput for HT ? If you want the best preamp for 2-channel music listening, then buy the 2-channel pre that sounds the best to YOU in YOUR system. I personally recommend Conrad Johnson Premier 14 or CAT. Whatever pre you decide on does not need a pass through to w... | |
| Vandersteen 3A sig VS B W Nautilus 804 I have had both in my system, and the Vandersteen 3A Sig remains. I found the B&W N804 to be bright, and they prevented me from listening for extended periods of time. Some might describe the N804 as detailed and reveling, personally they just... | |
| Power recommendation for Vany2ce-sigs Going the solid state route I would highly recommend the Belles 150A Hotrod works very well with Vandies. You should also consider McCormack, the old DNA 0.5 is very good with Vandie, I would guess that the new 125 is good alsoPre-amp wise I would... |
