Vandersteen 5a or Krell Lat-1's

I thought the same thing until I went on a whim. Dan knows what he is doing. If you have Krell it is very good. Vandersteen is a great speaker. Just the LAT-1 is much better speaker. I have world class front end so that probably helps somewhat. Believe me. I was a very big fan of the 5a's. I am a music lover (pure). The Vandies will never come close to the tonal qualities of the LAT.

You forgot "IMO".

There are no absolutes.

You are correct Brianmgrarcom.

..just a suggestion for Vandy 5A owners. I have switched out the stock power cords for Accrolink/Oyeida 046 cords. The increase in open-ness, and definition throughout the frequency spectrum (yes, the mids and highs too) can not be believed. The IEC connector into the Vandy amps still has to be a stock plug because the fins will not let the Oyeida or other large plugs be fully inserted. The change is definitely a very large improvement. When I told Richard, he seemed to be underwhelmed by the information, however, I think it is very worthwhile.
