| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen re " The problem with the vandersteen speakers is that they have drivers that overlap over a wide range. This is not only pointless but can cause a muddy sound." --- Sorry, not trying to pick a fight, but as a Vandersteen owner for 20+ years, this... | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? in re: millercarbon Most overrated? Easy. Vandersteen.LOL. The Vandersteen 2CE in all its iterations is one of the best-selling speakers of all time, for a reason. Great value. I’ve owned a pair for 20 years and will be getting the latest version ... | |
| Could the new Audender A30 be "the one" for a simple system? $18K ... ouch! It’s their flagship now, iirc. Outta my league unless I bought used. But if by combining all these—a $3-5k DAC, a CD player/ripper, a $3-5k streamer, a $2-3k headphone amp and a good preamp—and eliminates many interconnects, maybe i... | |

| Best Headphone system under $1000??? I have older 2CEs and an Odyssey Khartago. PM me if you're putting your system up for sale! (" For reference, my big system has Vandersteen 2CE Sig 2s, Odyssey Kismet amp"). The Kismet intrigues me!As for headphones, I love my Sennheiser 650s, and... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Vandersteen Treo CT or Magico A3 ... less than $10k (well, not after tax w/Magicos!). Vandersteen Quatro CT will push you just above the $15k mark if you buy new. | |
| Simple Question re Tidal Playback I am researching through options for streamers (I like the Aurender N100C the best so far), but in the meantime, I use a Google Chromecast audio puck to stream via wi-fi from my Macbook. I have the Chromecast connected into my preamp/DAC (Audio Al... | |

| attn vandersteen dealers upgrade my 1ci to 3(latest) +1 on Advanced Audio in Tacoma and if near LA, Optimal Enchantment in Santa Monica, CA is superb too. | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Should be the same as for a small listening room, yes? Might want to skip the double subs if you are on the 2nd floor though :) | |
| Losing Touch Brauser: I'm not going to be snarky. We all have our reasons... I will respect yours if you don't preach it to me. (I'm a Christian, but I try not to proselytize to strangers). Freedom = both the freedom *of* religion and the freedom *from* religi... | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black CTSOONER: re "My take away has always been that here's a guy on the mount rushmore of audio and he takes our phone calls when needed. WOW."I posted a question on the "Ask Richard" area of their website and instead of him replying online, he calle... | |
| Vandersteen help needed Joe, I have 2CEs in a room that is about 11x14, and I have them on the long wall (short wall won't work due to a door and windows). I’ve always used Vandersteen’s owner’s manual setup instructions on placement... do the chart and the math, and exp... | |
