Speaker Upgrade
Yes, it goes 1, 2, 3, Treo, Quatro, 5 and 7. I would personally purchase a new pair of 1's over a 15 year old pair of 2's. Newer components means a lot in a pair of speakers. cs, email me at [email protected] Pete |
Well, it is a little more complicated that just 1,2,3. The smaller the Vandy, the less bass output (due to less cabinet area). One of the ways to overcome that is to incorporate a sub-especially a Vandersteen sub(-which allows you to use a less powerful amp), and integrates via a crossover. Very ingenious, and it works seamlessly. Please do contact Pete. I bought his Treo's. He is a very knowledgeable guy. You can also contact John Rutan at audioconnection (his Agon name and his store). He is one of the best dealers in the Nation.- And, don't feel pressured, he gives great advice without a sales pitch. Going the Vandy 1ci route with subs is something I wish I had known about earlier. B |
Cats and dogs really and I sold a ton of both to very different customers the ADas use steep slope crossovers to keep that dome mid alive they might need a driver and crossover refresh rising high end but reasonably flat, detailed, etched, great thinking mans rock speaker far far outclassed by musicality of the Vandersteen yep owned both |
Tomic, he listens to mostly Orchestral music and Jazz. That's why I was thinking he should try adn get a speaker with fuller range (not using sub as that's out of his budget when you figure things out) and tonally correct. The new Vandersteen 1's are a couple of hundy out of his budget of 1k max. He can get the 15yo 2's, which I am not familiar enough with. Rutan sold those and remembers how they sound against his newer speakers as well as other speakers. He can look at the Maggie set up as well as B&W's (not my favorite, but many like a more forward mid (he doesn't) and others that are out there. There are options, but I also feel strongly that upgrading from the 1990's Yamaha integrated amp to a newer and better sounding amp will even help his Warfdales sound much better. He has options and focusing in with one who knows what's up may help. As anyone knows who has dealt with Rutan, he isn't always about purchasing through him etc... he just wants to help out as do many in this industry. |
