@yogiboy Vandersteen 2s and 1s are sealed-box enclosures, no? If no ports, therefore acoustic suspension, unless I misunderstand the definition. There is also an interview with RV in which he cites his inspiration from the sound of the acoustic-suspension designs of Acoustic Research, etc., -- the "New England sound" I think he called it -- when he designed the Model 2.
Acoustic Suspension sound in 2020?
I really like the sound of the 1960's-1970's acoustic suspension speakers owning a pair of AR-11's.
For a second installation, two questions for you folks who know far more than I--
- First, what if any new speakers have a similar sound?
- Second, any thoughts on KLH 5 and 6 vs. Large Advents vs. AR-3/11 and/or others?
Budget--I'll figure out later...if ideas are expensive, why not have a lust list to go with the purchase short list???!!!
Thanks very much!
