| Interconnect for Vandy Sub and x-over? What Vandersteen sub are you going to use? (2wq or V2W). If you are going with the 2wq I would use a fixed capacator either inside of your preamp or amp. Vandersteen recommends using the fixed capacator inside of your amp once you have determined ... | |
| Are Carver amps worth a damn? Sluggo take your Aiwa desktop "system" and jump in a pool. Oh and please make sure your Aiwa is plugged in. Gsxer your amps may well be the weak link in your system. The easiest way to find out is to demo something else and live with it for a whil... | |
| Bass Cable-Copper or Silver? To be sure you don't want to mix different types of cables in biwiring. Audioquest is fine for the money and their new stuff is supposed to be a vast improvment in clarity? I myself prefer copper to silver. I find silver to be somewhat fatiging. Y... | |

| Paradigm or Vandersteen Hey good deal. I'm sure you will get many years of enjoyment out of the Vandy's. I am looking foward to completing my Vandersteen setup soon. And in response to the inquiry about my Active 20's, they sold this morning. Best regards, Thestryder | |
| Paradigm or Vandersteen I have to say in opposition to the previous response that I would go with the Vandersteens. As far a dynamics and frequency response the Vandersteens will wipe the floor with the Paradigms. I know because I own Paradigm Ref. Active 20's and Vander... | |
| Best AC Line Conditioner I've had very good luck with Panamax, but for the money the Monster line up is probably your best bet. Good luck. | |
| Looking for loudspeakers under $4,000 I concur with sdcampbell about the Vandersteen 3a Signature's. For the money you can't beat them. This can be said for most of the Vandersteen line up. I have owned Thiel, Martin Logan, and Aerial. Every time I think I've found better than my Vand... | |
| Universal Remote The Marantz RC-2000 Mark II is the best remote for the money. It is very versatile and easy to use. It in easy to use as well without looking due to the raised buttons. I liked my first RC-2000 so much that I bought the Mark II. The Mark II's memo... | |
| DTS problems Make sure that the DTS out inside of your DVD players set up menu is on. Let me know how it goes. Regards Brenton |
