Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's

Pete - I have been in recent touch with Richard and I am excited to hear them also - hoping one of my three favorite dealers here in Southern California gets one of the first pairs :-)

Vandersteen - Beating Inflation and giving you better sound since 1977 !!!

LOL, Jim, same here. He has talked me into his M5 amps for the Quatro's.  Call me when you can and let's catch up.  I have been BLOWN away by those amps.  Best amp I've heard under about 40k.  

Listening to Elton John, Live from Moscow with Ray Cooper.  I always love when he does stuff with Cooper.  It's a really fun stream. Kind of playful.

Agree on his value proposition.  I just get blown away.  I can't wait to hear the new 2's with some of the affordable tube stuff like Quicksilvers or Rogue or even the SS Belles Aria that Johnny uses a ton to audition them.  That's one of the most underrated integrated amps on the market I think.

Dream value system:
NEW Vandy 2's
Belles Aria integrated
Aurender A10 streamer/DAC (what a freaking buy) or the Room NUC into the Ayre Codex DAC, which is still my favorite DAC under 2k

That's a true high end system right there with great value products that all work really well together as I've heard them a ton ;)

Back to music,.....er toys......er both

We just received the new Vandersteen 2 Sig 3 today. We are going through burn in and tomorrow we shall setup the speakers. Initial reaction is that it has potential to do some amazing things.

Thanks Sunil.  I can't wait to hear how you like them with the all in one Hegel.  I can't believe they still are under 3500 a pair (off the top of my head I think I'm even a couple of hundred too high).  

Sunny Components Inc, Here are Sunny's thoughts and observations.
We have been dealers for audio products now for over 2 decades. We have had great products come by our store which have led to this massive amount of experience. Taking master class setup from the likes of David Wilson, John Giolas and Peter McGrath and the master of speaker setup Stirling Trayle we have come to adore some brands. You also learn that not every brand of speaker is right for everyone.
Richard is very dedicated in making product in USA employing all his staff from the central valley led by his family who keep a tight control on numbers, business and details like shipping. Even in this Pandemic the speakers came in 10/10 condition, packed professionally with proper strapping and on a pallet. Shipping like this costs $500.00 usd.
This speaker had a burden on its head as it has to outperform the largest selling hand made speaker in USA for our high end business appox 100K pair. I personally did not want to ever mess with a sub 5k speaker but after my own daughter purchased a home, I saw many of her friends seeking new homes and audio. Making a great budget high performance system was a quest that has brought me to this marvel.
Initial random observations.
The Bass resolution is quite amazing. You get to hear true tonal characters in Bass with pin point articulation. The decay in the mid-range is alluring and draws you in like a good book.
