| Audio Physics ...Bright or forward? Fair enough but I'm convinced any brightness is the result of the speakers exposing something elsewhere in the system. I've used tubes and solidstate, digital and analog, and they simplycommunicate what is put into them. | |
| Audio Physics ...Bright or forward? I've owned two pairs of Virgo IIs and have had the Avanti IIIs for a few years. If they sound bright you need to look elsewhere in your system. They are not bright. | |
| Rogers LS35A - Stradivarius? Or Sentimental Hype? They are very, very good even by today's standards. There is a pair on Audiogon for $1200 with Satterburg woofers from a very reliable seller (ap175).I'm surprised you describe them as "thin". They have a designed midbass hump that is there to com... | |
| Thiel 1.6's or Quad 22L's ? Opinions Please. In my opinion, Rotel and Thiel will be very bright. Some call that dynamic and lively but I consider it painful. The Cary is a nice piece. I've never heard a a non-electrostatic Quad that did anything for me. | |
| Ladies analogy lover? They are smarter than we are. | |
| Is the Kab Speedstrobe necessary with the VPI SDS? No, but it sures makes the job easier and repeatable. The KAB is the best accessory I've ever bought. | |

| Amps for Vandersteen 3A Signature SS or Tube? Over the years I have owned 1B, 1C, 2CE, 2CE Sig, 3A and 3A Sig speakers.

| Denon DVD 2900 problems with SACD I've had mine for more than a year. The only discs that are a problem are the DualDiscs. The player doesn't seem to like the thicker discs and skips on the CD side. | |
| Amps for Vandersteen 3A Signature SS or Tube? How are speakers both "laid back and detailed"? I don't understand that description. 1, 2 a 3 Vandersteens are of a similar character. The 5 is a different class altogether. I still suggest solidstate to bring out the best the 3 has to offer but, ... | |
| Best of Both Worlds, For that budget I would give a serious listen to PSB. | |
| Amps for Vandersteen 3A Signature SS or Tube? The Vandersteens are a good speaker and an excellent value. They are a bit veiled. I find solidstate brings out their best. The Belles would be an excellent choice. | |
| DCM Time Window 1 questions Significantly less than $1000. They cost less than that new.I owned them when they were all the rage in the 70s. | |
| Cheap amp $300 to use with Vandersteen 2ces .. vandies are designed around pse gear..They are??? It's my understanding that Richard voices his speakers with Audio Research. | |
| I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell Wow! If you are asking this question you need to rethink your plan to open a store. Be prepared to lose your investment. It is a tough business even for those with grat passion and knowledge. Good luck. |
