| THX vs. DTS Yes the Casablanca III is a terrible SSP because it does not have THX, LOL. THX is both a standard and a post processing algorithim. I would not spend money for either of them. | |
| Theta Casablance ll Vs CBlll Mike is absolutely right about the CBII. I don't have a CBIII yet so I cannot say, but I strongly suspect he is right about that too :). As far as the line stage goes, I have heard the Saturn line of the Aesthetix and it is not the absolute best l... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A the ones least influenced by the electronics and room acoustics. They are the ones that do the best job of reproducing the signal sent to it by the amplifiers. If your speakers are poorly designed, the best room acoustics (whatever this means) and... | |
| Please give me your 2 cents...budget 30-50k I do not recommend that you go with wilson if your budget is between 30-50k for both audio and video and if you are going 7 channels. The matching speakers cost too much. You might be able to get away with 5. | |
| Please give me your 2 cents...budget 30-50k Video, my theory on video is to buy at the last possible second and buy the cheapest projector you can use and still enjoy watching your material. The reason for this is technology changes so fast, you will probably want a new projector in 3 years... | |
| Speakers for under $10k used? Put the Vandersteen 5 on your list. They do everything well. You get flat frequency response down to 20 hz. Image great, and have placement flexibility due to a powered subwoofer with an 11 band equalizer. Good luck in getting it used though... | |
| Please rate WATT/Puppy 7 Ok, have you ever heard the bass on the Vandersteen 5? If not, I suggest you try it. You might change your opinion. | |
| Please rate WATT/Puppy 7 Dkarmeli, I would think most people would think the bass of the Vandersteen 5 is superior to that of the Wilson's. But they are not in the same price point.I personally prefer the Vandersteen 5 to the Watt/Puppy overall too. But that is obviously ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Vandersteen Quatro? I heard $6,500 but you have to assume you are going to want model 5xovers unless you want to build your own. If you want model 5 xovers, I think they are about $800 balanced or $600 for rca. Making your own could be much cheaper and may provide sa... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? You will not equal the sound of a good player and preamp no matter how much you spend on the ht processor. A Casablanca w/xtreme dacs does not come close to a trivista cd player + a ayre K5 or the Aestehetix Saturn or VTL 5.5 but will cost a lot m... | |
| Room Placement on Vandersteen 3A Sig's? You can always try to treat the side walls to stave off early reflections too. | |
| If you couldn't get Vandersteen speaker's I think the 2CE's will still sound better than the 1C's given your room. I also think that if you have problems with Vandersteens, you will have the same problems with other speaker brands. Test the 2CE's vs the 1B's in your room and see which one... | |
| Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800?? The Vandersteen 2CE is a great new speaker that retails for about $1700. So I would have to say yes :). | |
| For Vandersteen 2Wq users. What he said :). | |
| 1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma Audio Magazine Review Summary by Mr. Theodore Pigeon 6/12/2003.(Insert 3 paragraphs of glowing audiophile riddled terms here)Where I heard the most difference was in MC Hammer's U Cant Touch This title track. The image of Hammer was so precise, th... |
