Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade)
My rationale for considering this upgrade, is that I would be getting a speaker with all new parts and would obtain a new warranty. Any thoughts would be helpful. In short is todays' Quatro Wood CT a better sounding speaker than my old 5A? Would this change be an upgrade and would it yield an improvement in sound to justify the cost?
Thank you.

@tomic601 Been a while but I'll talk with JR, sure. Now he did have the option of selling me the M7 high pass when I bought it and he didn't, so I suspect he'll say it's not worth it. Yes, the sound in that room is phenomenal. I went to another dealer the other day to purchase something JR doesn't carry and the sound was nothing like the system he put together for me. I do wish the system got a wee bit louder for action movies and such, but it is one of the best systems I've ever heard for listening to music and ***it's all mine*** bwa ha ha ha. |
Just got my Quatros. I've been dreaming about these for a while. Holy Cow they are great. I have been an audiophile for about 20 years and also used to do pro audio. I have heard some very resolving systems. I am super pleased with how these sound in my home. I now understand what people mean when they say it is involving. It's a natural sound, not hyped, but still very revealing of the music. I am hearing recordings that I have heard all my life and finding characteristics and qualities that are newly unveiled. I am a musician and understanding the subtleties of arranging and recording on these great records is very meaningful to me. |
