| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks jokerman, I really don't want any more bass, just more accurate.Stringreen, I am looking at a pair of 5a's for sale. The seller is very accomodating (will meet me near my location). My only problem is whether they will fit in the space I ha... | |
| Upgrade from Vandy 2w to 2wq. Thanks sdcampbell,I already own the 2w's, but was considering the 2wq. that was for sale on Agon. It sold, but I am now considering upgrading to the Vandy 5's, instead. | |
| Buying Without Audition Oblgny, I would love to hear your impressions of those other speakers-Non Maggies. Perhaps a PM to me? | |
| Amp or speaker first, upgrade Way to go!I, too, have the Vandy 3a sigs. I remembered listening to the original 2's back in the early 80's, and after a 30 year hiatus, I finally got back into hifi. I have to say the Vandersteens have met and exceeded all my expectations. Enjoy.... | |
| Possibly dumb question: can I use two cable runs for each channel, not bi-wired? As far as being able to do it, I would say yes. This would be a true Bi-wire set up, but in your case, you would be doubling the cable to the same post. Would there be a sonic difference? Probably. How different depends on your equipment.As far as... | |
| Adcom a weak link? Are you using both pairs at the same time? or Alternating?The Infinite Slope, by a quick Google, seem to be a bit on the vintage side age-wise.Like I said, if you get Musical Design to upgrade some of the internals, I think you should be able to g... | |
| Buying Without Audition Larstusor, thanks for the clarification, if you do know what 'sound' you like, then you are half way there. In that case, I think it would be okay to buy speakers that you have read about and think you may like. As others have said, reviews must b... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? That sound like a good start, Kenny.Keep us informed as to what you end up liking.This 'hobby' can be fun and very educational. | |
| Buying Without Audition Well, the last two posts show you two different ways to pursue you goal.You can either find a dealer in a large city and make time to audition all the speakers you think you will like, or, you can take a 'best guess' at the sound you like, based o... | |
| Adcom a weak link? And, can I ask, what speakers are you using/considering? Also, is it a small or large room? Do you want it loud or are just listening and relaxing? | |
| Adcom a weak link? Hmm, I'll have to think about this.How much power do you need for your speakers? | |
| New Bamboo Speakers Feedback Prices seem okay, maybe a little high for an item that you can't audition.Is there anyway to send out review samples, so we can judge for ourselves?Bob | |
| Buying Without Audition Well, you're not in the boonies.I am pretty sure Atlanta has a few good shops that would make it a day trip.Come on guys, let's give larstusor some help. | |
| Amp or speaker first, upgrade I own the Vandy 3a sigs and enjoy them immensely. I have no experience with the Definitive speakers, so I cannot give any comment to their soundFor me, I would consider upgrading the speakers first.If you think you will go with Vandy's, I suggest ... | |
| Berkeley Dac 2 or PS audio DSD or Schiit Yggs? I am biased toward the Schiit. I own the Bifrost Multibit and can attest to its' musicality. |
