| DCM TF-400 info wanted Yes, the Maggie ref is accurate. I'm kind of drawn to that sort of sound as well. I have the Maggie 1.6 and the Vandersteen 3A Sigs in other systems (I'm really strung out on this hobby) and the non fatiguing musical presentation is what I respond... | |
| DCM TF-400 info wanted Yes, when facing the speakers, both have the DCM Logo on the upper left side. The drivers are the same configuration on both speakers as well.. For what I paid 3 or 4 years ago ($100) they are really good sounding for an alternate system. I think ... | |
| DCM TF-400 info wanted I have a pair and the DCM Logo is near the upper left corner of both speakers. Don't know if that's correct or not but they sound good and really are great at imaging. I use them in a bedroom system with a Tact 2150 driving them which is probably ... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Forgot to mention earlier that I also have the Maggie 1.6's in another system but the tubes are further upstream in an Audibile Illusions Mod 3A with the ARC 150.2 for a power amp. The Maggies are indeed special. I've never put the Quickies on the... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Thanks for the reply. I have the Kevin Voecks E-III Snell. I have never heard the Peter Snell designs but I've heard they are different and excellent. That's what the Audio Note design's are based on. I know there a has been quite a debate over th... | |
| Tell me about "tubey" tubes. Morgenholz, I'm curious if you ran the Quickies with your Snell E's? I'm using the Quicksilver V4's with them and I really think it's quite a nice match. BTW, am using JJ KT88's in the V4's. Thanks. | |
| Any tube rec's on Vandersteen 5's Try Quicksilver. The V4 mono blocks would be great. If you're on the East Coast, give John Rutan a call at Audio Connection in Verona, New Jersey. Good luck. | |
| Which ARC pre-amp with ARC 150.2? It's not ARC but I'm using an Audibile Illusions Mod 3A with Maggie 1.6/Vandy Sub/ARC CD1/Modded PS Audio DAC. GREAT SOUND! The AI preamp is wonderful with the 150.2. No remote and tube choice is somewhat limited, but the sound is killin!!!I have ... | |
| Owning too many speakers Snell E-III, DCM Timeframe TF 400, Maggie 1.6, Vandersteen 3A Sigs, Tannoy Reveal, Polk Bookshelf, Insignia (?) all in different systems. I can't help it. They are all enjoyable in their own way. | |
| Ideal Pre Amp for Bryston 3B ST or 4B SST 2 I'm using a 3BST with an ARC SP16 in conjunction with a SCE Harmonic Recovery System device that helps with impedance matching between amp/preamp. These are driving Vandersteen 3A Sigs and I am enjoying the sound. When my finances are right I'd li... | |
| Vandersteen 7 at Audio Connection I was also at the NJAS event, hosted by John Rutan @ Audio Connection in Verona, N.J. John and the staff are indeed a rare breed and Kudos to John for hosting. Even though I am not a member, I met some very nice and interesting folks at the event.... | |
| Did anyone experience Audio Prism's Ground Control I'm using the standard model on the tweeter/mid connections and the the reference model on the bass on the Vandy 3A Signatures. Tried the refs on the back of the amp for a while but they make the most difference to my ears on the speakers. The sou... | |
| Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures I'm using an ARC SP16 w phono and it sounds great. Not to pricey and they come up every now and then. Mating it with a Bryston 3BST at the moment in conjunction with SCE Harmonic Recovery System to help with impedance matching. I also swap out to ... | |
| Preamp for Magnepan I have 1.6's. Try Audibille Illusions Mod 3a or Audio Research SP16. Great with Bryston and Maggies! | |
| Snell Type A/II or Type E/III - opinions wanted I've owned a pair of E-III's since 1997 and recently had them re-foamed. They are incredible speakers and always sound great in every room in my home. I also have Vandersteen 3A sigs, Maggie 1.6, DCM Timeframes and the Snells in many repects bring... |
