Quatro Wood CT VS. 5A's

Russ
Got to thinking so instead of just thinking i did some listening...
Ran 3 songs with and without rear tweeter on. All three w tweeter set at level 4 and contour 4. i did also have a Scotch but that is another story..
Prefer tweeter off. sense of coherence that is Vandersteen hallmark seems a bit off w metal tweeter in mix. image wider but less specific. got sense that Leonard Cohen was a foot off the mic vs. right on it. (old ideas - Going Home)...ditto for Wayfaring Strangers - Motherless Child..lack of image specificity. tweeter in yields a wider image for sure. i can see ( hear) where in certain rooms it could be a plus..

Congrats Russ.
I bought my Unitiserve from Don. I wanted his critical ear and opinions on server SQ. I trust him.
We also have some history as his dad was the long running MacIntosh distributor in Cleveland where my Mac 240 and MX110 Z were purchased.
Don will do great at setup and dial in.
What wood did you get ?
SE or balanced filters ?

Hi Jim thanks again for all your input.

I got the speakers in Mahogany Walnut with Balanced filters to go between my Wadia S7i CDP, and Pass Labs XA100.8 Mono Amps.

Mahogany walnut is gorgeous. I got my Treo CT's in that finish and could not be happier. I really like these speakers. Quatro is a great choice. Enjoy!
