Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase


Good evening fellow enthusiasts. Looking for advice after just making a stupid purchasing error. I usually do good research before making any transaction but I fell in love hard and got burned.

Just paid for some used Vandersteen Quatro for a "decent" price but failed to notice the purchase dis not include the crossovers. I live in the boonies so dont have a dealer handy to maybe just make my gear work without the crossovers, and it seems now the cost of new ones are a staggering $1295.00. This was for sure not in my budget as I am needing a couple of other pieces to complete this puzzle. Worse yet...once I take delivery of the Quatros...I wont have a way to even give them the once over sound wise to make sure they sound fine. 

Any advice? I am bummed beyond all get out at this moment.

Do some prep work ahead of Quattro and M5 arrival:

download the manual
do the math based speaker placement to see approximately what works in your room.
download Vandertones or hopefully seller provided you with Vandertones CD
you need the Radio Shack analog SPL meter ( not the digital ) e bay about $40

Sort out your cable and wires with powered bass and high pass, biwire almost always sounds better.
