| Vandersteen Forum Got my first Treo';s from Johnny and now have Quatro's. I was a huge fan for many years after hearing the 2's and meeting Richard in 1983, They were set up perfectly and it was at Stereo Unlimited in SD (Navy time). I then went to buy a pair of... | |
| 2023 AXPONA Show Report Eric,, I'm not surprised you like the Fritz speakers as well as the Steen's. I really enjoy their sound too (as you know I'm a Vandersteen owner). I wish was there to hear Richard and others talking (they just started as I'm typing this) in the f... | |
| Axpona 2023 Vandersteen's room with Jon Spelt's shop is one I wish I could listen to. They are showcasing Vandersteen's new Vandersteen Control Center. It's a preamp with an EQ built in that is out of teh signal path. I can't wait to hear it and have been w... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Eric, that's why I use dealers and purchase from them. They are the ones who do the work as they carry what will work together best and what will be reliable (they can't make money when things break down). Too often folks just buy 'top rated' t... | |
| New Vandersteen Control Center (pre amp) will be at the Ultra Fidelis room at AXPONIA Thanks for hopping on guys. Great to see you all. It’s fully balanced as one would expect. I can’t wait to hear feedback for those who are there. Just back home for a week at NIH. Spoke to Richard and he’s also at the show to show off his new toy.... | |
| New Vandersteen Control Center (pre amp) will be at the Ultra Fidelis room at AXPONIA Can’t wait to hear all about it. | |
| Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier? Guys, the AQ cables are what Richard voices his speakers with. They are highly neutral no matter which ones you get. I’m running the William Tell Silver with the matching zero cable and using a 3’ run. Yes, they are amazing, but I’ve also heard ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Just found this thread again. I completely agree with you about your post Sounds_real! Too many folks read specs etc… and forget to put a true ‘system’ together. As long as you have the system to match your speakers, you’ll never have to worry ... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Late to the party, but I’ll never understand why folks don’t put systems together as a system and not just parts. Seems like folks just run to the net any buy used thinking it will all play well together. So many great products for all to enjoy, b... | |
| Built-in vs. Standalone DACs gdnrbob 4,232 posts 11-30-2022 at 04:57pm I know some folks might feel that paying an extra $5-7k for a built-in DAC module on some of these higher end integrated amps might seem like a lot. But when you factor in the cost of a good power... | |
| Vandersteen Forum Guys, the Vandersteen forums are only for Vandersteen owners. Richard set the forums up that way as a replacement for the 'ask Richard' section. There are many set up threads, music threads, what components marry well with Vandersteen's etc... ... | |
| Vandersteen Forum I have no issue with the OP and Richard didn't either. Richard has zero problem with anyone who wants to change his designs by installing other drivers or guys who want to rip the speakers down and take off teh socks and poles and paint them blac... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables ...oh, yes they are spectacular. I have never had power cords like this in the room and I've had a ton of the exotic ones. I'm blown away by the physics that Garth uses to make his gear. I personally feel he's the best going right now nad Bill ... | |
| Audioquest Storm Series power cables Now I'm bummed. I had to reconfigure my system when I went to mono blocks and moved a few other things. I have to now get rid of 5 pair of Hurricane as I need different lengths, lol. oh well. Here I go again. lol. | |
| Underpowered? The warmth is from the amp in that case. The 2C is highly detailed, but never harsh unless said amp is harsh. Many love he Mac because it makes most systems sound nice. I like that amp with many speakers if heard it with. It’s a flavor thing, |
