| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @mr_m I almost went with the Treo CT’s with a REL Gibraltar G2 sub but the Quatros with the extremely tunable subwoofers was a better choice as I’ve lived with single subs most of my audio journey and wanted stereo subs. The REL G2 is augmenting a... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black A very good upgrade to the AQ DBS interconnects is to grab some Walker Audio resonance control discs and place them either side of the IC’s at the components outputs, remove the batteries from the cables and place them on the discs. (wish we could... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @gdnrbob,35 years out of the hobby would certainly explain it.Here is the link to their website: http://www.nolaspeakers.com/or you can type in Nola Loudspeakers into Google and there should be a link for images. Do the same for Alon Loudspeakers.... | |

| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ctsooner - Trust me, 30 watts of Pass Labs Alpha 3 current is plenty! It will shake the room at elevated volume with no problem and my ears give out way before the amp does.@gndrbob - Never heard of Alon or Nola? I find that hard to believe as th... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @gndrbob,I agree that RV has a great ear but others do so as well. I have been a 15 year Alon/Nola customer and have been perfectly happy. I have recently purchased a pair of Genesis 500 speakers and all 3 highlight that particular designers attri... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ ctsooner,I’m running my Quatro Woods with MIT Shotgun S3.3 Bi-wire speaker cables and AQ Panther IC’s from my OPPO BDP-95 to a Pass Labs Aleph 3 amp.The Panthers are running 100vdc DBS which makes them sweeter, more open and tightens up the bass... | |
| How do I remove the woofer from ads 300 speaker? Try finding a machine screw that has the same diameter of the flange opening screw holes. Use that as a jacking screw.I use this method on my Alon woofers and it works great, won’t bend the driver frame or damage the wood. | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black @ gdnrbob,As RV himself told me in an e-mail concerning my used pair of Quatro Woods that are long out of warranty, "You bought them, you own them". I really don’t think he would be opposed to using the fuses but like I said, if your pair are unde... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Sorry for the typos guys, wish we could edit after 30 minutes. "Quatro Wood owners satisaction". Should be satisfaction "should defiantly give it serious consideration as the work involved to do it is worth the effort!!" Should be "Definitely" n... | |
| Initial impressions of my new Vandersteen Quatro's in Audi Havana Black Glad to hear of another Quatro Wood owners satisaction as I'm amazed each and every time time I sit down to listen whether it's to music or movies. I must say with movies, the Quatro Woods are an absolute blastand they shake the room with force an... | |
| RCA connectors-how to tighten them up. On the AQ Sky, one can unscrew the silver end cap over the RCA barrel and there you will find a very small screw that can be tightened to increase pressure on the outer RCA connectors(flaps). Or, one can take a small jewelers flat blade screw driv... | |
| Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need. I have been an Alon/Nola guy since '94 and also dabbled with other speakers when I explored 300B SE playback namely the Cabasse Ferella 401 and a few bookshelf models, those being Fried and NHT but mainly stuck with the Alon/Nola's over the years.... | |
