Looking For Advice After Dumb Vandy Purchase


Good evening fellow enthusiasts. Looking for advice after just making a stupid purchasing error. I usually do good research before making any transaction but I fell in love hard and got burned.

Just paid for some used Vandersteen Quatro for a "decent" price but failed to notice the purchase dis not include the crossovers. I live in the boonies so dont have a dealer handy to maybe just make my gear work without the crossovers, and it seems now the cost of new ones are a staggering $1295.00. This was for sure not in my budget as I am needing a couple of other pieces to complete this puzzle. Worse yet...once I take delivery of the Quatros...I wont have a way to even give them the once over sound wise to make sure they sound fine. 

Any advice? I am bummed beyond all get out at this moment.

Hey Tom. I am gonna shoot out multiple DACs at once. The Codex, the Wavelength Brick and a Rega DAC-R.

The brick has me most intrigued from a design standpoint. I tend to like things a the warm side and my Streamer is a bit more bright snd forward than my Rega Apollo. The streamer is not overly bright compared to a couple I have heard, but it could use a bit taming. 

It will be fun to ahoot out back to back to back though. :)
Get them used, also please note whether you need balanced or not ( avoid using a converter) 
John R and the other great Vandy dealers listening will come up w a solution for you and help you finish the system 
don’t stress spend less on something else
its gonna be great regardless 
Interested to know the rest of the system

I have a codex too w an ultra rendu
mine bought new but they are a steel used but 
PS for half the price of a used Codex. You can get a new Pro-Ject Dac which I hear is pretty great and does MQA- then put the additional funds into a streamer
