| Vandersteen 2WQ Tim,Thank you for your response and the personal message through A-gon. Yes, installing the 2WQ would not be a problem as I have a separate line preamp and power monoblocks. I currently use a pair of the Silverline SR-17.5 monitors, and they blend... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ Thanks guys. My listening area is rather small (11x12x9 but open on one side and somewhat enlarged by another 3x7 area plus a walk-in closet and bathroom). Taming the bass is obviously a challenge and the idea of a subwoofer seems counter intuitiv... | |
| I was kidnapped by apes - DeVore Gibbon88s Cto007,I've read in some reviews of the 88 that they may sound "strained" with rock music. Did you hear any straining during your listening session ? | |
| Need speaker advice I'm in Southern Cali. I think the dealer is also handy with a soldering iron so I'm sure he'd be willing to assist with the job. He's coming in a couple of weeks due to my schedule so we'll sort thing out then. But the thread gave me hope that it ... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video I might be wrong, but unplugging the connector makes no sense to me. The VTF and azimuth only matter when you listen to records and you can't listen with the connector unplugged so why would you unplug it as you adjust these parameters? Also, I've... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ I apologize if I'm highjacking the thread a little bit, but I've been looking at the 2WQ and this thread seems to be a good place to ask my questions. 1) Are the 2WQ meant to simply extend the bass response beyond the frequency of the main speaker... | |
| $$$ vs music enjoyment Thank you for an excellent and highly enjoyable post, Mrmb. However, while the playback experience has improved, my love of music has remained just that.I agree with essentially everything you wrote, but would only like to mention that for me per... | |
| Need speaker advice I hope it's just a poor connection! I just thought it would have been for sure discovered when I the speakers were sent back to Alan. I guess I'll just wait for the dealer's visit and take it from there.Another question: who should pay for shippin... | |
| Need speaker advice M_snow,I'm not very handy with such things as soldering or replacing parts so I'm a bit reluctant to undertake it. Wouldn't want to break something else in the process. The tweeters come in pairs so you have to buy two. So I'm told. | |
| Need speaker advice Yes, Alan is a very nice man, and so is the dealer I bought the speakers from. If he's mistaken, I'm sure it's inadvertent and in good faith.The tweeter is the Esotec d260; couldn't verify the price. The dealer is coming to my house in a few weeks... | |
| Need speaker advice Jim,The speakers were already sent to the manufacturer after the problem began. I never really found out what the actual problem was, but Alan replaced the crossovers, or at least some parts in them, and re-soldered connections. I was informed the... | |
| RCM Sensore Prelude OR Zesto Andros PS1 Phono? Mordante,The fuses and terminals are all Furutech. I spoke with Roger Adamek (RCM owner and designer) and the difference in his opinion is not subtle as compared to the original Sensor, which is a great unit in its own right. I had the benefit of ... | |
| What country still has music? Sorry, Tpreaves, but not when it comes to what sells and charts these days. I share Marakentz' sentiment. I believe there is such a thing as objectively horrendous crap. | |
| Mint LP Best Tractor---HELP I don't know why Harry is so reluctant to publish the specs on his arms, but I too agree with Downunder. I had my Classic/Delos combo set up with first the Mint and then the VPI jig and I prefer the VPI jig as well. Who then cares what geometry Ha... | |
| RCM Sensore Prelude OR Zesto Andros PS1 Phono? I see. Sounds like you've assembled a very nice system. Congratulations. I'm not familiar with the ZYX cart, but both preamps should work fine with it. Why not stick with the Prelude since you're already getting it and you liked it in other system... |
