| So how many people are using subwoofers " I recently got Vandersteen 5 speakers that have true built in subs that go to 22 HZ, are very tunable, and have built in 400 wpc amps to drive the subs. I have never heard such great bass, and I love them. But a friend uses REL subs with MG 3.6... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today "Did I miss anyone mentioning a Vandy? Their model 2Ce is a keeper "Yeah - my main system speakers have been Vandersteen 4As for many years. He only built a couple of hundred of them whenever he could spare the time from production of the more pop... | |
