| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? Yes Rcprince said it correctly. I have Ayre over all the others as I love the sound. Neither tube, nor SS. Just musical and detailed. The local Wilson dealer LOVES the ref Ayre gear with their Wilsons or anything else in the store. My Vandy dealer... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Shake obviously has it out for Vandy's since he's trying to add things to what I post that aren't there. I never said a dealer didn't set them up right. Just said that you can't pop into a room at a show and say you've heard anything properly. I'v... | |
| Proac problem: tweeters or crossover? PNB, that's also great advice. I have had to do that with a few different Proacs that either I owned or my friends have owned. Wish that was fixed by them in the 90's when they first encountered the problem. | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? I recently auditioned the Wilsons with the Ayre reg AX5 which I purchased and it will be in the que to be upgraded. I liked the mk 3 version and thought it was much more musical and detailed than previous versions, however I'm going with new Vande... | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Awesome...Very happy for you. | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? I"ve heard the NuVista 800 once. I only heard it in balanced mode and it was powerful to say the least, but I went with the Ayre AX5/20 integrated instead. I felt it was much more natural with a deeper soundstage and a much lower noise floor which... | |
| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K This thread really got me thinking, so I went out and auditioned some of the speakers in this price range and the Vandersteen Quatro's will give you the ability to tune the bass to your room. You mentioned your wife. I have the same situation and ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD 1k for a cap? WOW have things changed. I had NO CLUE. Thanks for sharing guys, learning an ton here. Keep it going. | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Russb, congrats. I hope that you love them the way the rest of we Vandy owners do. Will the dealer be setting them up for you? | |
| Proac problem: tweeters or crossover? Good luck and keep us posted. | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Guys, I have read and reread this thread and a few things stand out to me in regards to the last couple of comments on the Vandy's. First off if the only times you are hearing ANY speaker is during an event, then you aren't hearing the speaker pro... | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables I agree with Jafant:03-13-15: JafantExcellent discussion guys-china is to blame here, as they are buying as many Cables/power cords (especially the upper high-end offerings), as possible. Not only are they buying for pleasure, they are buying to b... | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Joe, it's interesting to read the amps you like as all sound so different to my ears. I have owned CJ and listened to all the Art gear (going out later today to audition the CJ ART gear with B&W's which I don't usually like. Will be interestin... | |
| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Joey, what did you hear the Vandy's with? I realize no speaker is everyone's cup of tea as we all hear so differently. We do agree on the Ayre 20 gear though. I've heard them on a few top end speakers and the sound was outrageous. For every person... | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Joey, that's why there are so many choices out there. What are the top three in that range that you like? |
