| Value? Vandersteen model II Fred-the model II sould have a vintage-collector value to it.I really liked the newest 2 series and 3A speakers.I do not like the Treo nor Quattro, as I find them rolled off on the top 2 octaves, to my ears. | |

| Vandersteen Treo's Many Thanks! guys.I like the Vandy 2 & 3 series, just not the Treo nor Quattro at this time. | |
| Is it speakers or my rock/metal music? Plus help ? All great suggestions-considering your room size, check out the Thiel CS 3.7 loudspeaker. It is an outstanding Rock/Metal speaker. | |
| Power cable for ARC CDP OP-I have heard Audioquest, Straight Wire & Transparent power cords all w/ excellent resluts. | |
| Cary Cd 303t SACD and SLP-98p Paired? How about the cary 303 SACD w/ a solid state pre-amp? | |
| Krell Cipher Issues? I like this player as well. Too bad, Krell has a faulty design? |
