Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36
Hifiman5 and bondmanp. Goes to show ya you don't need the expensive audiophile weights or bricks to mass load a subwoofer. I did this trick to my nephew's cheap large box speakers. He looked so amazed at what he had heard you would have thought I ...

I know Ctsooner will protest, but I know a salesman at the place I bought my Treo CT's from, and he feels the Treo Ct with a pair of 2Wq's will out-perform a pair of Quattro's. This arrangement with subs gives you (8) eight inch woofers compared w...

I just ordered a new 2Wq (1) for now due to financial constraints. It should be here in about 10 days. I will order another one and the premium crossovers with batteries as funds permit. I am currently retired and have a new financial boss. My wif... 
The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is

The link from John Rutan was from the dealer I had back in Wisconsin before I moved to Arizona. I listened to a pair of Vandersteen Treo Ct's, {my current pair of loudspeakers} with a 2Wq sub. Jon Spelt, set up the system for my audition. All I ca... 
Can anyone identify these speakers?
oops. I didn't hit the right listing. Sorry. Disregard my last post. 
Can anyone identify these speakers?
Those are mid to late 70's BIC Formula Venturis. They look like the later versions they made before they went out of business. They also made a couple of nice belt drive turntables back then too. I think BIC stood for British Industries Corporatio... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Treo CT and Quatro Wood CT have Identical drivers. The difference is in the powered subwoofer section of the Quatros that the Treo CT does not have. I'm not into "hat eating" and I will give my assessment of the Personas "good, bad, or indifferent... 
Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Audiotroy.   Have you ever listened to a pair of Vandy Treo CT's with subs? I have, at length, and I can tell you NOT SILLY! It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to tell you the much better value would be the Vandy set up rather than the Paradigm P...

Disclaimer..... I am also a Vandersteen owner, but open minded enough to be able to live with a variety of different speaker brands.

tpinto59,People  are on those "supposed" quality brands for a reason. That is, those brands have stood the test of time, are of quality build and have won accolades from reviewers and most important of the consumers who buy them. I'm not looking d...
