| Thiel CS2 Agree with dlcockrum and rcprince. I've owned Thiel CS2's since 1986. Auditioned Vandersteen 2Ce finding them overall a bit "restrained." Nice sound but not as engaging.Thiel loudspeakers will give you richer timbre and detail than Vandersteen.Mod... | |
| Thiel CS2 If I am hijacking please let me know and I can start a separate thread. I currently own Vandy 2ce Sig IIs but have heard great things about the Thiel 2.4s and 3.6s, 3.7s. Being that Thiel and Vandersteen are both time and phase coherent speakers; ... | |
| Wonderful visit and 5-star customer service at Audio Doctor in Jersey City, NJ! I too had a very good experience at Audio Doctor.....I drove an hour + to Jersey City and called AD not knowing that it was by appointment only. Dave said although he had others scheduled it wasn’t a problem and for me to come by. At this point in... | |
| Is it ok to not gush over Vanessa Fernadez?...one listener's perspective. I like a few cuts particularly "Hard Times" and the Bill Withers cover "Use Me". I don’t think she’s exceptionally talented. But when I want to hear the shear sonic quality of my system, I will throw her stuff on. As others have said, exceptionall... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? I'm surprised that non one has mentioned Tracey Thorn/ Everything But The Girl.I would highly recommend the CD's Amplified Heart and Acoustic. | |
| A few versus that connect you........what song is it? Out on the road todayI saw a Deadhead sticker on a CadillacA little voice inside my head said:"Don't look back, you can never look back." | |

| KEF R700 Opinions please @rotarius That’s encouraging to hear. I’m just not getting what I want out of the Vandy’s. Being new to this hobby, I don’t think it was wrong to get them as my ear needed time to figure out what I like vs. what I don’t. But I think eventually I w... | |
| KEF R700 Opinions please Thanks all for the replies. @rotarius Glad your enjoying your R700s!@kalali My only experience is also with MQA enabled Bluesound Node2 as a source, streaming Tidal HiFi, and that's what the dealer was using as well. I saw a Peachtree and a pair ... | |
| Bluesound Node 2 as DAC for CD player? Thanks everyone.@kalali That makes a lot of sense. Thanks! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Is there anywhere where these speakers can be demoed in the tri-state area (NY, NJ, PA)?I would be very curious to hear them in person. | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question @kalaliCongratulations on your purchase. I very recently upgraded my Vandersteen 1ci speakers to 2ce Signature II's and they are a vast improvement over the 1s. I'm using 8' Audioquest GO-4 bi wire and they sound amazing. Enjoy! | |
| Vandersteen help needed @ctsooner Thanks CT! Great post. | |
| Vandersteen help needed @bondmanp What speakers did you end up with after you sold your 1c's? | |
| Vandersteen help needed John Rutan was kind enough to pay me a visit in my home yesterday. I think we had a very productive and fun troubleshooting session that yielded some very noticeable and dramatic positive results. We tried several different things. Each had its ... |
