| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? I hope Ring radiator tweeters aren't the future. Since I don't use tweeters at all. LOLInfact I never plan to use them again, unless my upper frequency hearing gets so bad to where I have no choice but to bump up the dBs in this area.Look at where... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? It's important to me, and that's all I need to know. | |
| sign.vandersteen with solid state w/without subs What exact tube amp are you using? Knowing the rest of the equipment will help as well. Also, how large is the room the system is in, what is the placement, etc. Vandies do need power to perform their best, but if the tube amp can deliver you shou... | |
| Brandnew WADIA Decoding Computer Could Themadmilkman please explain what exactly he´s heard???Simple. I find the Arc to be sublime, inviting, and a pleasure to listen to. I find the Wadia to be flat, uninvolving, and overpriced. But this is simply an opinion based on my listening... | |
| When will your system be enough? I AM satisfied - after years of trials, numerous auditions, different paths and, yes, some upgrades.LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.It is assanine to suggest that just because somebody likes to upgrade and/or switch gear, that they do not listen to music as o... | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows I felt the same way about the Vandersteen Quatros a few years back when they were first shown, at least until we asked them to turn up the volume.Richard for some reason likes to keep the volume relatively low during the show. When asked to push i... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A I believe the literature says to measure from the listening position to the center of the speaker, ie the middle of the top plate. I have to look it up every time I move them, though, since I never remember exactly. | |
| Brandnew WADIA Decoding Computer I believe that I qualified my statement by saying "Without any accounting for different rooms ... " Surely that states that I am only giving an opinion of complete systems, and an opinion that was shared by the majority of the people that I spoke ... | |
| Brandnew WADIA Decoding Computer They had a prototype at CES a few years ago, I guess this is the finished product.Without any accounting for different rooms, speakers, electronics, etc., at the time I fould the sound produced by the Meitner system to be superior. They would have... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A You could try, but that's gonna be a pretty comprimised setup. The Vandies are designed for a minimum seating distance of 8'. Any closer and the drivers don't blend the way that they're supposed to. With 12' of space, you're looking at placing the... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. My original posting simply reported a fact, delayed audience response, which anyone at a live performance can verify, and which suggests to me that the audience was disconnected from the music.I'll take a delayed audience response any day of the w... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A The 3's might be better, but, IMHO the 2's are a beter valueVery much agreed. The 2's are the kind of speaker that you never let go of. Probably the least expensive speaker that I can see myself living with forever. Just saving my pennies to upgra... | |
| Why China Isnt Happening Yet Funny... I drive a '98 Malibu and other than the AC button turning itself off on occasion (just reach down and hit it again) the thing hasn't had a single problem.Just goes to show that within any segment/brand, people will have good and bad exper... | |
| do yoy always have to pay full price? I've actually had better luck getting dealers to throw in other items for free than having them discount the particular item I'm buying. When I bought my CD player and integrated amp the dealer gave me a pair of Grado SR-60 headphones and didn't c... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce with Jolida 302B? The great thing about the 2CE's is that they scale very well with whatever equipment you pair them with. I've heard them powered by everything from NAD integrateds to ARC's Reference line, and they do not disappoint in either setting. Truly one of... |
