Are your Hi-Pass Filters SE or balanced? Most V-4's are SE!!! I've owned the VS-115 and the V-4's and preferred the V-4's "fuller" sound plus they are easy to bias, built like a tank(trouble free) and can run a wide variety of tubes types!!!! I used them with 3A Sigs and two 2Wq subs, a similar sound to the 5's.
Any tube rec's on Vandersteen 5's
Fellow Agoners, I'm looking for tube recommendations for the Vandersteen 5 series. I am looking to spend no more than $2800 used and think somewhere between 80 to 100+ watts might be sufficient.
Have Joule LA150 mk 2 pre and Ayre CX7e CDP and some synergistic and Nordost cabling and nice Nordost conditioning systems. Also have decent vinyl system that comes and goes based on room availability.
Looking for something on the warmer side of ARC VS series.
I'm considering the VAC musicblocks. I've owned an Avatar SE in the past and liked it with my devore 9's, but am wondering if the VAC Vandersteen combo might be a tad warm.
I really look for dimensionality in a pure band setup format but tonal accuracy is also important to me.
