| vandersteen m5-hp crossover setting you can go 2 selections up or down from the impedance of the amp | |
| Items for sale here and on ebay without remotes.... I can easily see how someone would use a programmable remote and misplace the original remotes. Mine adjust lighting and such so in some applications they are a nice touch | |
| What is an excellent power cable? I would check out a Magnan. Ken Stevens from CAT was at a demo here in Indy and bought for his entire system | |
| speakers with balls Vandersteen Quatros. I have owned them for years. They "Rock" for me. Can be placed closer to the wall than other Vandys. The tweeter is not "in your face"...never bright. Plenty of bass if its on the recording. | |
| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. hey polk...your caps lock is on | |
| Vandersteen Amp? Richard was pressured/criticized for years about not having a flagship, no compromise speaker. He finally gave in. His amp ideas are noteworthy at the least | |
| Speaker jumpers You could bi-wire and eliminate the jumpers. I use Magnan now. I have used SR, Kimber, and Stealth with positive results | |

| Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ? I do not live close. I live in Indiana. I have heard the model 7's with Simaudio and CAT gear. They are fantastic! If I had the money they would be in my room instead of my Quattros. The 5's are great but I believe you will never look back at your... | |
| REMOTE FOR AUDIO RESEARCH I think ARC uses RC5 code but back to front. So marantz, Philips, krell and many others work. Just + becomes - and vice versa. Then you could use a learning remote to program into the correct button | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier CAT SL-1 or newer, Reference is lacking in bass in my opinion. Symphonic Line " good luck finding one used". Simaudio is great Solid state... just sounds right. | |
| CAT SL-1 Reference repair Are you using a MM or MC cartridge? There are loading plugs for the MC's if they are low output. | |
| Acoustic panels - how high? It is possible since there was no difference in sound that the room is fine without them. Another + for Elwood though. I used to have a few roomtunes etc..until I rebuilt the room with Crown moulding and added art to the walls. |
