Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Setup Questions

@gdnrbob  Nothing "lowly" about your Treos!  You're right about John R. at Audio Connection.  He is known for going well out of his way to help with set-up.

I bought my Treo CTs from him.  I am 3+ hours away from Verona NJ so I discussed set-up and placement with him while I was there.  I had the benefit of 30+years of Vandy ownership so I had a pretty good idea where to put them.  It is amazing what a difference 1/4" or less movement has on the sound, especially as regards toe-in or lack thereof.

Setup is very important....even the slightest maladjustment will affect the ultimate performance.  If you are unaware, get back to John Rutan....a whiz at this procedure. You need a pen laser, an analogue sound pressure meter, etc.  You will not know how good the speakers sound unless you address everything.

First congrats - you will be rewarded and shocked with what your room does to bass and how you can tame it in the analog domain.
first verify verify verify amp input impedence!!!!!
otherwise you will need a good multimeter !
get the RS analog meter, verify it works
get a camera tripod to get meter at listening position ear level
get a Leica Disto for super accurate measurement of distance to tweeter ( used to set tilt !!!
get your chair OFF the wall
my Ears in the beater Treo CT setup are 40” off the wall
follow the instructions
the Vandertones disc has a nice bass recording made at Oceanway Studio
it is a good alternate to Ray
but Amazon has Soular Energy :-)
i also use  JD Souther Silver Blue on the album A Natural History - Victor Krauss plays bass
but I prefer Stanley Clarke on Black Rose version
enjoy
