Vandersteen 5A to Carbons??

Audioconnection. Where are you located?

Hello Ctsooner. Thanks for the info on Audioconnection. I live in Wisconsin, hence my lack of knowledge where Audioconnection is. I never was a Vandersteen enthusiast before, but have listened to their latest speakers recently at several dealerships and came away impressed. I pulled the trigger and purchased a pair of Treos with the carbon tweeter. They replace a pair of B&W 802D's. I have to wait awhile for them because as they are being made, I also have to wait for the Vandersteens to come back from vacation to finish my pair. Can't wait. A salesman at my dealer said he has a pair of Treo Ct's, along with a pair of the Vandersteen subs. He said, in his opinion, that this combo out performed the Quatro Ct Wood. Can't personally verify this as I haven't listened to that combination. But this was his opinion. I do agree that the carbon tweeter is a large step up from the standard ceramic tweet for the same reasons you expressed. All in all, good design.

Ct. My dealer is from Milwaukee. Called Ultra Fidelis. About 250 miles south of Rhinelander where Iive. A gentleman named Jon Spelt owns/runs the place. He seems quite knowledgeable and is very patient and friendly. I'm not a pro, but I'm fairly good at setting up my speakers and am confident I can get the best out of them in my listening room. Been at this hobby about as long as you.i will probably have to make some ancillary changes too, mostly cables and interconnects. As this has been a given when I would make a speaker change. Have a new Rogue Pharaoh hybrid integrated amp. Was told this was a good match with Vandersteen. I now have somewhat limited funds for my hobby,as I'm nearing retirement and a wife with little humor when it comes to buying audio equipment. My dealer felt I had good "bang for the buck" components. I hope he's right. Lol.

Shakey. What? No love???
