Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I think you have it exactly right.

People who say Vandies are warm, veiled, or rolled-off are comparing them to many (most?) of the modern speakers out there that are on the bright side. For many people, "brightness" equates with high resolution, detailed, lively sound. I find it very off-putting. I find Vandies very neutral, neither bright nor warm, and at least as detailed as any speaker in their class. A recent complaint in a magazine review of the Quatros is that perhaps they were too detailed, whatever that means. Except for the 5As, I have never heard a speaker that conveys a greater sense of clarity and transparency along with neutral, natural tonal balance than the 5s I now own.
