How do VANDERSTEEN Signature 2ce's rate?
Well thanks for clearing matters up Joe. At least we found another system other than the Sonata’s that you DO like and isn’t it ironic it comes from the same manufacturer that you bash in this thread and has very similar tonal characteristics. I s...

"The Vandersteen 3A is a great speaker which affords a lot of flexibility". Found this post on AA under "Would like to leave feedback on ML" date August 15. The above post is by none other than Joe Coherent, I knew you were just "tricking" us Joe. 
Are Talon speakers really this great?
Oh Joe you are sore, I just can't figure out why. Is it something I said? If so I didn't mean to upset you so. What gave you the impression that I would try to defame you. If you are as threatened as you seem maybe YOU should get some help. Just a... 
Are Talon speakers really this great?
To the contrary Joe I am not bitter I know you call it like you see it, I like that. I am just curious. I saw a similarity in style and taste with old Phill and thought you two might share a tad more in common than meets the eye. Am I being cynica... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Thank you Bigcigarman I concur. To me a speaker is a transducer. It's sole purpose is to accurately reproduce what is on the recording. Being quite familiar with live music as well, as both a participant and a listener it is true. Live music has a...

Hey JoeCoherent is that you Phill or are you clones? 
How do VANDERSTEEN Signature 2ce's rate?
Joe your input is once and again a revelation. Doesn't it make you wonder though how Richard Vandersteen has fooled the masses into buying over 90,000 pair of his 2 series speakers? By the way Joe what kind of "really good music" do you like, mayb... 
TUBE or SS?
Craig It is a funny thing you should mention it. When I purchased a pair of Vandersteen 2C's in 1987 what sold me on the speakers was the electronics they were hooked up with the first time I listened, ARC M-100 mono's with an SP-11 pre-amp. Also ...

With the right combination of electronics, program material and room, the Vandy's are wonderful full range speakers especially at their price point. They make music and they don't offend. Not all speaker systems can make that claim. They are not W... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Joe Who says that the Merlins' don't sound good out of the gate? First of all I don't need to go down to 25hz or rock the walls to enjoy music, been there done that, it is hard to get it right in a room my size. I've got no qualms with the Silverl... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Ok Phil we're getting some where now. Why don't you tell me the difference between HI-FI and music other than the obvious absolute which is live vs. recorded music. Sherlock 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
The early CLS could be described as ruthlessly revealing, etched with no bass. Would you categorize those speakers as HI-FI Watson? Maybe you don’t get the fact that any system with ultra resolution is going to present problems unless all matters ... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Phil I still find it remarkable that a dealer would carry a product he doesn't believe in. There are certainly other speakers that can be driven by tubes that he likes, right? I can’t believe that he only carries tube electronics. Indeed he is a p... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Phil I agree that we disagree OK? I have heard ML's 50 times if I've heard them once. You are not being kind you are just being presumptuous. Let the guy listen for himself, I'm just offering an alternative. What in the hell is the dealer doing se... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Oh how right you are Phil. So far as telling anyone you have something called a BAM or if you like bam, as part of an audio system, I see your concern. God forbid that a Flinstone character could be in any way connected to a high end audio system,...
