| Vandersteen Quatro CT Here's an update. Bought a pair of demo Quatro (not-CT) from a dealer in OH. They are getting settled in and already sound great. I'll use the Vandertones test files and my SPL meter to adjust the subs. Wonder if Vandersteen will offer an upgrade ... | |
| Does anyone else have an "ANVIL Turntable"??? I have had the Anvil Convertible for 2 years. Jollypop red plinth and motor unit. Thing of beauty. I also have an alloy platform that Bruce designed for even more vibration control an mass. I use a Jelco 750D with a Zu-103R and a ZYX Yatra. I swap... | |
| Theta Miles owners: Using preamp or direct? I agree. The only reason to use a pre with the Miles is if you have other sources to switch. The Miles was a great CDP! | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons I believe Anthony Cordesman (Absolute Sound) uses a pair of 5 Carbons as one of his references. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I moved to Ann Arbor in 2001. Overture did not carry Vandersteens then, I drove out to Royal Oak to listen to them (Audio Dimensions). I'll clarify the timelines with Overture if I ever have time to audition the Quatros! I'll report back! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Yeah Tomryan, I contacted them yesterday. Keith told me they have been a Vandersteen dealer for a year and a half. I have not been to their new location. I was pretty turned off to Overture after an experience I had there trying to buy a Linn Akur... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? I am using the XA 30.5 with the Legacy Audio Focus SE in a 15' x 22' room. Great full range speaker, 94 db efficiency. Ony rarely do I see the needle start moving. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Thanks Tomryan! I had no idea Overture was carrying Vandersteen. I will check them out and try to get a demo. One of my buddies had Thiel 3.6 powered by Jef Rowland electronics when I had my Vandy 2Ci's. Never wanted to listen too much to the Thie... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I'm a Packer fan, grew up I'm WI. Don't care for the Lions. Excited that my local university team just hired a new coach from the NFL... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I live in south eastern Michigan. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Sounds like I need to listen to a pair and hopefully arrange an in home demo. I had 2 ci's former many years and even had a Model 5 for a year. I could never get the 5 to sound as good as I thought they should. I had bought the 5 off Agon and prob... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I would get a sub or two if I was truly stuck with monitor speakers in my 2 channel system. I do use a Vandersteen sub in my HT (with an audyssey capable proc :)) but that a different ball o wax. | |
| Pass Labs Point 8 Series info I think the whole-supply/demand simple economic analysis does not really apply here. This is a luxury market where other factors drive pricing. This probably applies more to the XA 200.8 than the XA30.8. | |
| PASS XA.5 Series Amen brother. Great amps. | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I look forward to reading if the OP is able to successfully integrate the sub into his system/room and get a better sound. Its obviously possible to do. I just suspect its going to take a fair amount of tweaking, which some audiophiles enjoy. But ... |
