Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Vandersteen question.

After having a lot of different high end speakers and Maggies for years, i am enjoying the 3a sigs immensely, The only time I hear the veiling I see mentioned so often was when the angle was not adjusted correctly. I started with them in a 12X13 room, and they were great, very involving and musical. I now have them in a bigger room, they are 5 feet from the back wall and are image like a mother. I also think there is more difference between the 2's and 3's then increased bass. I compared them side by side when I bought the 3s's and the difference I heard was not small. It's like saying that the 3a's sound like the quatro's (except for the powered bass) since they have the same tweeter and midrange. Simply not the case. There's a lot more refinement in the crossover design according to Richard. I will say that the setup took me a while to get right, but once you do, you know it. I also use a Servo-15 sub with them, mainly because my room sucks out the bass of any speaker I've had in here. I wish someone would have told me about Vandy's a long time ago, I could have saved a lot of money and frustration.
