Vandy 5 Owners & Dreamers


First let me say I own 3A Sigs. and I love them. For that reason alone I'd HAVE to be curious about the Model 5. In all the time I've been checking out Audiogon, I've only seen one pair of 5's for sale! So, 5 owners, why is that.I'd like to hear from all you guys. Hw much better is the 5 than the 3A Sig? I know you're out there cause Richard V. says he sells alot of 5's. Thanks in advance, Mark.

khrys, thanks for the input.e me at livia@lisco.com . i'd love to pick your brain some more.
Well, I am a V-E-R-Y satisfied Vandy #5 owner. I would like to second everything that "Khrys" said in his follow-up above - the speakers are spectacular. Their best feature, and the one that allows the level of performance that Khrys discusses is their "tunability" ... I am convinved that you can get 5s to sound better in YOUR room than ANY other speaker! I have played with the adjustments myself and you can make the speakers sound dark, bright, and everything in between. So you can adjust them to your preferences. But what I found out is that when adjusted correctly, you immediately know it because you instantly stop listening for this and that and simply listen to the performance/music!! Make your decision quickly - the lead time is now approaching 8 months as I understand it.
You're not alone Marklivia. I also own 3Asigs-- and really like them, but I want to end up with Vand. 5s as my "last speaker". I appreciated the comments of Avguy, Khrys, and Jkphoto above. Thanks. Craig.
