| Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade) I have 3A Signatures, which have the same midrange and tweeter as your vintage 5a (if memory serves). All I can say is that after demoing Quatros I wished I had spent the extra $9K for them, and it all had to do with high frequency clarity (not b... | |

| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service Sure thing. I would probably go for it if Aurender supports it. | |

| High value, giant killer speakers? Vandy 1ci | |
| Vandersteen Kento Specs Released Anyone know if the 6.5" woofer (mid-woofer?) purports to be pistonic in its passband?Too many ps in that post. :) Reading my kids too much Dr. Seuss I guess. | |

| Calling all Vandersteen Fans I have 3A Sigs, and I don’t perceive any sibilance whatsoever. Ayre front end (details on system page). I think the only major differences between the current 2 and 3 are the cabinet volume and the low frequency driver. | |
| Ayre Codex vs. Lampizator Amber II There seems to be some inconsistencies between JA’s measurements and the Audio Science Review ones. Not sure, of course, which are correct.Disclaimer, I own (and love!) a Codex. | |
| Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures I have Vandy 3A Sigs. Would never think to call the tweeter sibilant, but I suppose there's plenty of room for subjectivity in that call.I find the treble and especially midrange detail to be fantastic. I drive mine with an Ayre V5xe, as part of... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations Another vote for Vandy. | |
| From tubes to SS amp : Ayre, Belles, Pass or else ? Well, the Ayre V5xe is fully balanced (my understanding is that each channel is really two amplifiers working on each phase of the balanced signal, which are combined at the output), so a single ended input will be converted to balanced pretty muc... |
