Rega P3-24 and Exact 2.....Enjoying the music

If you want increased clarity and focus, try one of Groovetracers machined aluminum sub platters. Really makes a difference!

I really do enjoy almost everything about the Paradigms, except for the aluminum tweeters. They can sometimes sound a bit aggressive and shrill. In most cases this is only with poorly made albums. Everything else sounds fantastic. They have a very seductive midrange (albeit not extremely detailed), great powerful bass, and overall they just have a very "big sound". I just wish the treble was a bit smoother. I was hoping that the Vandersteens would retain most of these qualities, yet possibly provide a smoother treble. How would you describe the sound of the Vandersteens?

Hi Jwglista.....
I just perused some of your past threads, just to get an idea as to what type of information you've been seeing on these forums. Back on Jume 13, 2005, you started a thread to compare Paradigm Studio's to Vandesteen 2Ce Sig/II's. There are some very insightful responses back there, mostly giving glowing reviews of the Vandy's.

I tend to agree with much of what's already been said about Vandersteen speakers on these forums. They are very special speakers, and they simply, with the right electronics, make beautiful music. I can give you all sorts of "audiophile jargon" to describe their sound. But, it would all be pointless.....You need to hear them for yourself. Words on paper will not do these speakers justice, but the happiness they'll bring to your ears, heart, and soul will make you want to listen to record after record, after record. Do yourself a huge favor, and listen to them. Then, you'll know if they are the right speakers for you. Good Luck, and Happy Listening !!
