In Reply to: RE: POLL: How many of you use(or would prefer to use) "time-coincident" speakers? posted by genungo on September 04, 2014 at 08:36:45
Have modded TC-50s now, and planning on a pair of Vandy Quatros when I leave city apartment life in a few years.

On several different auditions, I tried to get into and like the Quattro.
Still, I have not been able to do so? I have heard these speakers w/ Ayre, Mark Levinson, Clase' and Aesthetix gear. They just do not jive well w/ my ears? Perhaps, you have had a better demo than me?
A friend has a pair with cj Premier 12s and they are quite lovely. I hear a little bump around, I'd guess, 5-7k. It isn't enough to detract from orchestral work, but is enough to give a little edge to rock, which is something my polite Spicas can't do.

what other gear is in your friend's system?
His other gear: some monstrously big gold-colored Sony SACD player from some years back, and a VTL Super Deluxe pre as a line stage. (Yes, it's a shame to waste the phono stage from that.) I forget what cables he has. No vinyl - he gave me his LPs when he moved to Argentina. Donno what happened to the LP-12/ET-2 combo. He probably has 10-15,000 CDs and SACDs. His disc shelves take up about 8 x 10 feet completely filled *without* jewel cases. When I visit next we'll try to figure out just how many little silver discs he's got.

very interesting combo of gear. When you can ask him about cables/cords do so, as they will tie everything together nicely. Would love to see that CD/SACD collection...
