| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Vandersteen Treo CT or Magico A3 ... less than $10k (well, not after tax w/Magicos!). Vandersteen Quatro CT will push you just above the $15k mark if you buy new. | |
| Simple Question re Tidal Playback I am researching through options for streamers (I like the Aurender N100C the best so far), but in the meantime, I use a Google Chromecast audio puck to stream via wi-fi from my Macbook. I have the Chromecast connected into my preamp/DAC (Audio Al... | |

| attn vandersteen dealers upgrade my 1ci to 3(latest) +1 on Advanced Audio in Tacoma and if near LA, Optimal Enchantment in Santa Monica, CA is superb too. | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Should be the same as for a small listening room, yes? Might want to skip the double subs if you are on the 2nd floor though :) | |

| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? I had a Carver TFM-55 (iirc) that was great. I only sold it to get my McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? McCormack. I have (had) a DNA-1 Deluxe that I bought in the mid-90s, but iirc his designs pre-date that. Awesome amp which I used for 20 years but it just broke. I could do the SMc Audio gold upgrade on it for $1800 and basically get a brand new a... | |
| Best integrated from this list... audioconnection "The Belles Aria offers a superb match with Vandies"I am curious why Belles seems to be a well-kept secret. They have few dealers, and don't get reviewed much. The reviews I have read are excellent. It's curious. | |
| Best integrated from this list... I look forward to reading the responses, jsbach1685. I have Vandy 2CEs (old, want new Signatures) and my listening room is about the size of yours. It's our new house, and I was worried they would overwhelm the room but they sound great! I am runn... |
