Vandersteen Model 7s?


I saw on the Vandersteen tech web site that there is a model 7 to be introduced at the January CES. Any advanced information from fellow audiogoner's? From dealers? Anyone? Bueller? (sorry)-

Not size as the 7 is going to be between the 5A and the Quatro in size......he is talking 80% of the performance if a 5A gets a retro fit.
*Liter then 5A (new composite materials which cost a fortune)
*a bit smaller then 5A
*R.V claimes 50%-60% improvements over the 5As
*Yes, about 40K is just about right
*automobile finishes
*introduction - Las Vegas 2009 CES (his prototype pair in "Candy Apple Red")

..sorry about the unclear post... 80% of performance. My 5A's are Kawazinga wood...GORGEOUS... I even commissioned an artist for a group of paintings with the grain of the speakers as the background...I probably will just upgrade the 5A (will that be a 5B?)
Stringreen,

What is Kawazinga wood? How about adding a picture to your system?

I have rotary cut ebony, which is extremely unusual and not available any longer. It is quite unusual and beautiful.

I wonder what the effect on sales of the 7 will be if only offered in high gloss paint colors.
Hi Zargon...Yes the ebony is beautiful. A friend had that and I was hard pressed to order the ebony or the Kawazinga. I am a violinist, and make my living with ebony all over my instrument which was an attractive idea...I love the deep red and black grain.... If you go on the Vandersteen site you can see what the grain of Kawazinga looks like...but it's WAY nicer than the picture just like the picture of the ebony doesn't do it justice. I'd be glad to post a picture of my system, but I don't know how to do it. Let me know if you can tell me...Thanks
