Vandersteen 5A


Was just on the Vandersteen site, no longer lists 5As, only carbon version. I am a little surprised, probably should not be though. Am very pleased with my ~2 y/o 5As.

Why post things like this that aren't even the slightest bit true? A look in the Systems section will find many 5A setups with high end electronics.
Repeluso what system do you have which has tone controls? Just curious. I spent a lot of money and time getting the tone I wanted with components, tubes, cables. etc.
No, I meant tone controls. I bought a Luxman 509U integrated a year ago. For that exact reason (plus it has pre-out/main-in that is needed for the 5As). Mostly do not use the tone controls, but when they are needed they are a savior. I suspect I am not that "obsessed", so to speak, with the last detail, I just simply want to play the music I like in my own home, and hear the weight of music with some semblance of the weight I hear when I hear it live. Also have a Luxman D06 CD/SACD, and a TT, but use that very little lately.
Pardon my misunderstanding. It was my belief that there were adjustments on the Vandersteen 5.
