Vandersteen question
Mikej- You cant listen nearfield with the 3A's and still get a time and phase accurate signal. The signal comes together at a point 8 feet from the acoustical center of the speaker. Will 
Room Placement on Vandersteen 3A Sig's?
Vegasgred- when I was writting that I confused you with another poster above- I think 4' from the front wall should be ok, and the sidewall isn't as big of a deal (to me anyway)... See if you can borrow a pair for a weekend and give it a tryWill 
Room Placement on Vandersteen 3A Sig's?
Ive tried 3A signatures in a number of places in the room- following the guidelines in the manual, and just experimenting. I think you will do ok, but with that room set up I would instead buy the 2CE.. I just don't think that you are going to not... 
Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers
Motdathird- I would put serious thought into demoing and maybe getting the 3A Signatures and two 2Wq subwoofers if you have the space for the subs in your room... If not then I would consider buying the 3A Signatures and spending the rest on music... 
Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers
I agree with Vedric and would think the Quatro would be a 4 way design.. It doesnt make sense to me for it to be a 3A/2Wq combo. Without some form of bass contouring, it would probably not have smooth bass response... and with bass contouring it i... 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel

Audioquest Cheetah- Anyone?
It seems entirely logical that the cable could be neutral, and your system could not be... Engaging the DBS could be revealing more system flaws then cable flaws, couldn't it? I have yet to try them, but I am very excited to do so. Will 
Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel??
If you want obscene volumes, dont go with the Dunlavys. I own a pair of SC-V's and they play as loud as I care to listen to music, but with sustained 90db levels at the listening position they begin to sound strained. By the way, the specs in the ... 
Review: Vandersteen 3a Sig Speaker
Fsabella: I have spoken to Richard also.. I think what he meant was that he recommends two (2Wq) subwoofers to reproduce music. Will 
Vandersteen users; do you biamp?
In my setup using even a single Vandersteen 2Wq improved the sound much more than when I tried Bi-Amplifing without the sub.Using the sub also eliminated some serious room resonances around 80hz that I couldn't eliminate by repositioning the speak... 
What size spade for Vandersteen 3A?
Des anyone know if the AudioQuest P-8M connectors will fit the 3A Signatures? Also, if there any photo available that clearly shows the connections on the 3A Signature?I am just curious whether or not I will need to get my cables re-terminated if ...
