| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) @2psyop Nope, you may be on to something there. I’m a drummer of almost 40 years. I did not always wear hearing protection in my youth. The last hearing test I had, about 20 years ago, showed loss of hearing in high frequencies. --Joe | |
| Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT) I have the Vandy 2ce Sig II’s with a Belles Aria int. amp and AQ GO4 double run bi-wire speaker cables. Your system is probably 3x more expensive than mine, but I share the same exact opinion as you. That there is something lacking with respect to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring Good to know. Thanks! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @greg22lz I am noticing more and more that the mods are very heavy handed with regards to removing posts. Where can I find the terms of service and what is considered a violation? Seems like the decisions are very arbitrary. | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! I understand that hibiscus has the best bass response. | |
| $3000 Speaker Search I also have a 12’ x 11’ foot room. I have the Vandy 2ce Sig II’s. They are very nice and sound like they would meet your requirement of having excellent imaging and musicality over detail. Truth be told I wish they were more revealing a lot of the... | |
| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! I used the Rule of Thirds (29% Version) for speaker placement found on this site yesterday.http://noaudiophile.com/speakercalc/My room is 154" x 134." I am setup along the long wall. Rule of Thirds (29% Version)"This is my favorite placement recom... | |
| Thiel CS2 Agree with dlcockrum and rcprince. I've owned Thiel CS2's since 1986. Auditioned Vandersteen 2Ce finding them overall a bit "restrained." Nice sound but not as engaging.Thiel loudspeakers will give you richer timbre and detail than Vandersteen.Mod... | |
| Thiel CS2 If I am hijacking please let me know and I can start a separate thread. I currently own Vandy 2ce Sig IIs but have heard great things about the Thiel 2.4s and 3.6s, 3.7s. Being that Thiel and Vandersteen are both time and phase coherent speakers; ... | |
| Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ! I too had a very good experience at Audio Doctor.....I drove an hour + to Jersey City and called AD not knowing that it was by appointment only. Dave said although he had others scheduled it wasn’t a problem and for me to come by. At this point in... | |
| Is it ok to not gush over Vanessa Fernadez?...one listener's perspective. I like a few cuts particularly "Hard Times" and the Bill Withers cover "Use Me". I don’t think she’s exceptionally talented. But when I want to hear the shear sonic quality of my system, I will throw her stuff on. As others have said, exceptionall... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? I'm surprised that non one has mentioned Tracey Thorn/ Everything But The Girl.I would highly recommend the CD's Amplified Heart and Acoustic. | |
| A few versus that connect you........what song is it? Out on the road todayI saw a Deadhead sticker on a CadillacA little voice inside my head said:"Don't look back, you can never look back." | |
| A few versus that connect you........what song is it? Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dulland cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skullAt night I wake up with the sheets soaking wetand a freight train running though the middle of my headand only you, can cool my de... | |
| KEF R700 Opinions please @rotarius That’s encouraging to hear. I’m just not getting what I want out of the Vandy’s. Being new to this hobby, I don’t think it was wrong to get them as my ear needed time to figure out what I like vs. what I don’t. But I think eventually I w... |
