Brands w/ first order x-over, time & phase aligned


Just curious about what other companies use this approach other than Vandersteen, Green Mountain, and Thiel.

I currently own Vandersteen 2c's, and I may consider trying out a different brand if somebody recommends it. However, I love the Vandersteen sound, and I'm guessing that they are tough to beat.

I just went to Vandy Treos from Proacs. Still love the Proacs but no other speaker I heard can match everything that Vandys do in their respective ranges. He keeps making a better and better sounding speaker. I've heard so many brands over the last couple of years and for MY ear, lol, the Vandys were the only one that made me feel the need to upgrade. So glad I did.
I've always found that once you introduce a sub that isn't integrated into the speaker itself, it has continuity problems. I just have a blending problem with subs and that includes very expensive subs, but again that's just me. I got the Treo's since they went low enough for my room and integrate so well. Tons of great choices out there though.
In response to the poster who said thinks the Vandy Treo's and Quads are...they are....I love my Treo's....Vandy's only speaker that isn't is the model 1
Ok, I'm sure you're correct...Maybe I was thinking about it not being first order crossover...I bet that's what I was thinking. Either way, it doesn't matter since the 1c sounds so awesome for it's price range...Another best buy for Richard..Thanks for the correction.
