VANDERSTEEN 5A

my dealer is very good and did come to the house to look at the speakers and they have been very good at helping me getting them repaired. The dealer did get back to me and told me that the previous times that the amps were in for repairs most likely were caused by power surges. And the reason why the amp went in for repairs after the upgraded electrical in my room was because there was an intermittence with the amp that was not detected the least time it went in and before the electrical upgrade. the issue seems to be fixed and i should not have any more issues with the amps. I am very happy to hear this news and I love my Vandersteen

I never had any problems with my 5As. They are rock solid.

He is not sympathetic to used gear, but to his defence, it sounds like your home electrical system could use a thorough investigation.

I hope to see a post about a positive outcome in the near future.

Have you measured the voltage in those outlets - volt ohm meter. I remember repairing a preamp that worked well in my home and then the customer took it home and it did not work the same. After months of back-and-forth, I went to his home to measure the AC. It was 138 versus 120. go figure.

Have had Vandy 5A's for nearly 10 years, sound as good as nearly anything, and have never had a one problem. Owed 2Ce's and 3A's and 3A sigs before.

Something must be wrong with he electrical supply in your house
