Vandersteen Quatro CT


This speaker has been available for several months and by some reports is quite special. Anyone have a chance to listen to one? Impressions compared to other Vandy speakers?

Thanks!

I too am a fan of AQ. I’ve been using Mont Blanc, Volcano and now Everest as loudspeaker cables and I’m simply amazed as they sound terrific. I’ve also used Panther, Sky, WBY and WEL as interconnect cables. I feel that the WBYs and the WELs are as hi-end as hi-end can be. To me AQ is all about balance... They seem to match easy and offer astounding performance.

P.S. The WEL interconnect has terrific density and texture, world class punch, the blackest background, amazing tonal richness and dynamics to die for. It's just... rock solid!

nothing bad to say about any other Audio company....
250 K Model 2 and something like 37 years later and RV still works 1/2 day most Saturday.....
IMO, he and his family business are “ what’s right and good about entrepreneurial America” .... and doing it mostly here with USA manufacturing in California ( wow ! )
His team is building a set of Treo CT for me right now with some very wild Maple ambrosia veneer and for what I think is an amazingly low upcharge...
freaking cool
an unabashed fan and supporter

On to cables....
i mostly use AudioQuest
Everything from King Cobra RCA in my Vintage MAC / Apogee system to WBY and EagleEye in the Reference 

i have some shotgun type 6 with vintage spades I may use with the Treo as I plan to use my 1961 MC240 ( very highly modified ) as an initial baseline, maybe move to a DBS cable ..... we shall see....

with the Clear day return, that has me thinking but I doubt that includes vintage spades at amp end ????

i know call and find out
I am using and loving the WEL balance into the Ayre and the CAstelrock speaker cables.  I love the tonality and neutrality of the AQ cables.  I've tried others in teh system and not liked them.  I will be selling my AQ Niagara 1m cables and my 1.5 M Water cables I think.
