I was at a shop when a 2ci owner came in and all he could do was question the need for any of the other speakers on the floor since the vandy's were clearly the only speakers in the shop worth a dime. Gotta love his passion, personally I found them to be a little vague, but yer dime.
New speakers? No thanks.
Last week while chilling with my wife, listening to music, she turns to me and says,” you haven’t bought any new speakers in years. You should take our tax return and get some”. Did the planets just line up? Or was it the two bottles of wine? Who cares!?!
Ive been totally satisfied with my speakers,Vandersteen Quatros, but wasn’t gonna waste this opportunity to shop. So I hit up a couple of shops in Seattle. I listened to the new Tannoy Cheviots and DC10a. I tried some Devore Gibbons. Listened to Martin Logan’s, Sonus, Living Voice, and Usher.
None of these sung to me like my old Vandies. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t close. While they all had their attributes, none checked all the boxes. I know it’s system and room dependent, but you can get a decent idea in showrooms.
I think I’ll just save my pennies, and try to get my wife wasted enough someday to get some new Quatro CTs.
