| What is the standard for judging a systems sound? This is a fascinating thread. It makes me wonder how equipment reviewers are able to describe the sound of any particular piece of euipment and what good, better, best means in the reviewing context. | |
| Subwoofer match for Vandersteen 3A sigs? Go to www.audioperfectionist.com. You'll find a free issue (#2) dealing with adding a susbwoofer - specifically to the 3A. Hardesty seems tothink there are a lot of reason to add a subwoofer. I might do so myself, as I too am debating the addition. | |
| vandersteen 3a signature or thiel 2.4 or 2.3 Given your choice of music, it would seem the Vandersteens would be a better fit. But as noted above, you are choosing between two excellent, highly-evolved systems (developed over time by both designers)that a music lover would enjoy having. Neit... | |
| Full range or sub/sat ? I agree with Ritteri on two counts,if I understand him correctly. 1. You need a full range speaker to properly implement a pair of subwoofers and 2. the most perceived improvment in sound from adding powered subwoofers comes in the midrange and hi... | |
| ARC CD3 MKII Sounds like a worthy upgrade (I have the CD3 MKI w/ Convergent Pre/Amp and Vandersteen speakers). What other CDPs did you consider before buying your ARC? I have never heard or had a chance to compare the Aero Capitole 24/192, Wadia 861, Ayre D1x,... | |
| has anyone compared Cat JL 1 to Cat JL2 Suttlaw, what amplifier did you have before? What are the improvements brought by the JL2? | |
| has anyone compared Cat JL 1 to Cat JL2 You may want to go to Arthur Salvatore's website where there is some commentary on these two amps. According to info on the site, a listener of both felt the JL-2 was superior. I think Ken Stevens thinks so too. | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? Is it possible to address this issue without knowing room dimensions, speaker placment, and listening position? | |
| The Power of Positioning Is it possible to get deep bass 13' out from the front wall? or do you need subwoofers to make it work? | |

| Personal speaker evolution 1. JBL 19 Book Shelf - My first "last speaker"2. Polk 10B - excellent for reggae3. Mission 707 4. Energy 22 - excellent and underated5. Proac Studio 1006. Alon Lotus7. Vandersteen 3A Sig - my last "last speaker" till I buy the 5s. | |
| Vandersteen 3x Owners: More Bass? I had a 20 Amp Dedicated Circuit installed, but unfortunatley it was done at the same time I brought in the CAT and ARC CD3 - so of course it sounded better than before. I asked ARC about power conditioners and I get the impression they use Richar... | |
| Special power cord for the pass aleph amp ? I have had the exact same problem with the Aleph and a Harmonic Technolgy power cord. The Pass standard cord fit perfectly. Note that Pass will tell you in both their literature and on the phone that they do not believe that the perfomance of thei... | |
| Vandersteen 3x Owners: More Bass? The "subs" are part of the 5As, integrated within the 5A cabinet and with their own 400Watt amplifiers (for the subwoofer frequencies) per speaker. | |
| Vandersteen 3x Owners: More Bass? Well it certainly seems like you have a very satisfying system. Has the search stopped? or are you contemplating your next move? Any thoughts on interconnects, speaker cabling, or power conditioners within the context of your system? |
