stringreen, with all due respect this seems to be about your Vandersteens with no real information about the VPI dual pivot, so why not post it under Speakers rather than Analog?
Give and Take
I got the VPI 2nd pivot and installed it today.....you might ask my impressions.....What I did notice was a strange metallic sound coming from the midrange speaker of my Vandersteen 5A. They told me to remove it from the cabinet and send it to them, and they will rebuild it...so although the 2nd pivot is installed, I can't tell what it sounds like.
