Vandersteen 5a carbon vs 5a
Does anyone know for sure that all the drivers are replaced during an upgrade? I know the tweeter and mid-range are, but I'm curious if the factory replaces all drive units.  
Vandersteen 5a carbon vs 5a
I heard the Quatro CT and the 5a C this spring. That tweeter really is special. The mid-range on the 5AC was also very grain free and lovely. I too have been tempted by the bird's eye maple pair.  
Modwright Transporter vs ModSqueezebox w/ PS????

Digging up an old thread. I figure, better to reply to one existing than create a new one. I have a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 9i speakers that are presently in my HT setup with some M&K surrounds. I am starting to seriously consider finishi... 
Seeking advice on pre/pro options.
Thanks guys, I am going to go and audition an Integra or Onkyo today or tomorrow if I can find a dealer with a unit for demo. While I am in the neighborhood I may go ahead and audition an Anthem D2 for fun and a couple good stereo preamps. While I...
