We sold a lot of Vandersteens where I worked.

Vandy 2CE Sig is probably one of the best buys in high end audio. My buddy has a pair - they are sweet sounding.

now you are just plain wrong - every Hi Fi reviewer / writer would agree to that. The Vandy's are the equivalent of the Dark Side of the Moon album - beyond a classic.

If it's in a sponsored magazine then it must be true.


Did you read the OP? Are you even thinking about design?

The design of the Vandersteen (and Thiel and Dunlavy) speakers is multiple phase-coherent drivers mounted in a time coherent manner (such that the sound from each driver arrives at approximately the same time), using relatively simple crossover systems, mounted on relatively small baffles (except the Dunlavy).

Obviously not your cup of tea, but a nice, simple design nonetheless.

Have you ever heard a real time and phase coherent speaker (single driver or widerange speaker)?

well imo dark side of the moon isnt pink floyds best record so your example is poor.

I feel like these responses are a little too "hey have you guys heard of this brand? yeah me too!" whereas neils intended to talk more about design and sound. Brand homerism is kinda meh(although i must admit im an ultra homer wrt headphones).
