Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??

What's interesting is that the premier Vandersteen dealer would say this about a pair of speakers someone traded in:

"still have not heard a speaker set valued up to $10K that I like better! Terrific Detail, focus, Sound stage, etc."

I guess you say whatever you have to say to move used merchandise out the door.....

??? Not sure what you are saying. Who? What? Thanks.

Ad by Audio Connection for a pair of used Metaphor 2 loudspeakers. The description was in the ad copy. I guess they think these are better than the 2ci, Quattro, Treo, etc...

Just seems funny to me.

It may be off the Metaphor site or something. He has to sell to eat still as do all the people who are in audio from journalists to any merchant. We all know that and it's why we need to listen before buying isn't it? Every Vandy dealer personally sells other lines. I went to Johnny even though he was so far away from me for Proacs. I didn't want Vandy's at the time, but one listen and I wanted more. I think there are different speakers for everyone and these threads all prove that. He does like Vandersteen and he's sincere, but some folks need for him to sell their older gear in order to purchase new gear be it VAndy's or something else. At least he listens to those of us who go see him and I know for a fact that other Vandy dealers do the same as I have been to their stores. I just wasn't sure what you were trying to say. Thanks for the clarity. :)

It was a quote from an old review copy.
A pair of Latest 2 Sigs IIs IMO outperforms them.
These were taken in as a trade in for Vandersteen Treo CTs. Thanks for your keen observation powers.
Best,
