In Reply to: Here's how the Vandy 2wq works ... posted by krikor on November 30, 2006 at 07:07:22:
Even though you're only inserting a capacitor in your signal path, the quality of the cap really matters to the whole musical presentation. When I first tried the VAndersteen in my system, I was appalled at how bad it made everything else sound (because of the poor quality of the crossover).Krikor avoided the issue by using nicer quality caps. But even the caps offered by Vandersteen after you've dialed-in the right value with "the box" aren't very good sounding.
One nice Vandersteen solution is to use the crossover from the Model 5 loudspeaker. This has much higher quality caps in it, and sounds pretty good.
My experience... Hope it helps someone.
