Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
I called Ohm on Wednesday and had a lovely chat with someone over there for about 20 minutes. I didnt know until the end of the conversation that it was John Strohbeen. I told him what I was looking for and my room dimensions and he recommended th... 
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
@bondmanp What amp and cables are you using with your 2000's? Also, do you know if Ohm does in-house demos since Brooklyn is not that far for me? 
Amp / Speaker combo ~5k
My first post was here was similar to yours--looking for a system for around $5k. I was given a lot of excellent advice. I ended up choosing the Belles Aria Integrated and a pair of Vandersteen 1ci’s (both new). Which you could pick up for around ...

Scoring on Used Thiels here
@beetlemania I too am a Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II owner and have long wondered about the differences between them and the Thiel 2.4s. Could you please describe the pros and cons of each and which one you prefer?Thanks,Joe 
Recommend some Jazz to me
Thanks all for the suggestions. Right this second I’m listening to Elvin Jones/Coalition and Poly-Currents via Tidal. Really enjoying them. I think bluesy41 hit the nail on the head in terms of what I was looking for i.e the cornerstone records of... 
Recommend some Jazz to me
Yep, I have Emergency by TW. That stuff is pretty out there and I can only take it in small doses. I guess I'm looking to know what the seminole recordings of the swing era are. I know I can Google it, but I'm looking to find out which ones folks ... 
Vandersteen Seminar at Audio Connection (NJ)
As an aside, I am a drummer as well, although I like to think of myself as "slightly" better than mediocre. When I’m not I.T.’ing things during the week, I play in two Top 40 club/wedding bands on the weekends.Cheers,Joe

Vandersteen Seminar at Audio Connection (NJ)
@cedargrover That's crazy man!!! Glad you dug it as much as I did. I would say that $600 - $800 is what I'm looking to spend so I will def. keep your recommendation in mind. I'm curious to see if any other Agonners were present at AudioConnection ...

Cedargrover,Thanks for putting up this thread, sorry we didn't have a chance to meet. I was the one that requested some 'Dan' music and Nick came up with The Nightfly. I was in the center seat, front row and i think my brain melted after hearing t... 
Vandersteen Treo Speaker Cable Suggestions
I'm running AQ GO-4 in my system with Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's and the Belles Aria integrated amp. I don't have anything else to compare it to but they sound great. Expensive though!!! 
wet blankets, CSNY and what a difference a DAC makes
@gdnrbob Funny you should bring that up. I was on the phone today with Johnny R. and David Belles and we confirmed you can run a sub on the Belles Aria by connecting a high pass filter to the MON OUT and MON IN jacks. I don't know, however, if thi...
