Met Richard Vandersteen today

I was invited to hear Mr. Vandersteen today at a dealers home. I also got to hear his many excellent spkrs. Richard I must say is a down to earth gentleman. He does not talk above you although I'm sure he can. He explained how he got started and what he did to improve his design. He also mentioned that there are only five spkrs that are time aligned. Can you name them? Anyway most of the gear was AR and I also got to hear a 275.00 sony sacd player. All said I was most pleased with the session and would recommed you go to listen to Richard when he gets to your town. (He was in Charlotte NC)

Vandersteen speakers are TIME AND PHASE Coherent. There are dozens of speakers that are time aligned, and can be found at all price points.
There are only 5 widely available transducers that are time and phase coherent: Von Schweikert, Meadowlark, Dunlavy, Vandersteen, Thiel.
If you are spending alot of doe ray mee, you deserve to audition one of the above. You will buy them, and only replace them to acquire the next level up from one of the above brilliant engineer/designers.
You owe it to yourself, and your hobby, to get further info. on Richard Hardesty's audioperfectionist,com
