Quatro Wood setup help

I have a pair of Thunder cables on order.  RV may have changed his feelings on that. Not sure, but I'll ask.  Garth's new AQ cords need a special Furetch plug on the amp side as the other one is too big and won't fit. lol. Won't change the sound at all.  It's also a TOP plug.  I use Hurricane for my Niagara, The Memory Player server/DAC and Ayre AX5/20 that has the high pass filter built in. I"ll be selling that soon to someone who owns a Vandy and wants the crossover built right in (Ayre did this for me and worked with Richard V to do it right).  

The hyper benefit of Vandersteen powered bass is 11 bands of analog room tuning so you can fix most room nodes while optimizing placement for imaging ! And relieving your main amp of the massive requirements associated with low low bass.
for grins listen to your speakers with just the subs playing..... not much there...
it is no wonder the chicks never fall in love with the bass player....

a high quality molded connection will out perform a poorly assembled fancy connection that also probably has a stiff heavy inflexible cord, looks fancy audiophile but look closely at the IEC connection- bet it is drooping which may mean crappy connection.....

my buck firty....

Put your outlets in upside down.  That helps greatly with the leverage of the heavy plugs.  I also use a piece of wood on the floor to the plug to hold it up, lol. :). CHEAP audiophile tweak.

As an aside...ballpark, what is a reasonable price for a dealer in home tuning of the QW CT's?  The dealer is 1 hr from my location.

I would set the speakers up and burn them in, in advance of the dealer arriving.
