ctsooner Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I knew it. I just saw him in Oct. Great guy. When to college in Amherst, MA. We had a bunch of folks in common. I assume he's closing the shop totally as he didn't have a buyer as of a few months ago. Sad to see the store go. Small, but a good shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Edwards Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 GPick, I applaud your choice of the Quatros. I've had mine (fabric version) for six years now and love them. As others have said, placement of Vandersteen speakers is a critical element in achieving the most rewarding reproduction of your recorded music. Regarding your amplifier considerations, here are my two cents: nothing can reveal more than an in-home audition. No two rooms are alike and no matter what you hear in a store, it will not be the same in your room (let alone all the other components matching). There are some dealers who will loan equipment for this purpose, but certainly not all of them. Ayre does get a lot of good press on this forum. I once borrowed one of their preamps (along with a Parasound phono preamp) to try out in my system. I was not impressed, but my set up was also not as dialed in as it is now. Another manufacturer that gets many kudos here is PS Audio. With their 30 day in-home trial on all their products, I encourage you to check them out. Their Stellar line of class D amplifiers are quite reasonably priced. Welcome to the greatest hobby / passion in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 @Next8, I wish there was a way to get an email when someone responds to you post. In fact, I only saw this on the 'Recent Activity' . I also congratulate you on your recent purchases. My only 'upgrade' is a pair of M5's. I am scouring the used market until I find a set.

Bill Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Yeah, Treo to Quatro is huge difference in technology. Especially having 4 floor-firing subs. The integration is seamless and the balsa-core midranges introduce an amazing clarity. Those things are a complete game changer for first order crossover networks.
