Just got back from a secret audio trip.....
OK guys....I just arrived back from the airport on a secret visit to an audio dealer to hear some of the most amazing gear.
The purpose of this visit was to listen to an uber-high end audio cable line of products I'm going to be doing a video on (I'll do a video on the dealer visit and the cables).
I must admit I have never been impressed with Vandersteen speakers. However I got to hear their 7 EXTREMES yesterday. WOW WOW WOW. Super impressed. In fact, I could easily own a pair which is saying a lot as I hear lots on "nice" speakers but few I would actually own.
I also listened to Estelon YB's and XB's and others, but the Vandersteen's are the one I would own.

It's always interesting to sit back and listen to other people opinions, experiences, likes and dislikes and learn from what they share with you."We are all billionaires because of the huge piles sweet dough rolling in from our participation in the ongoing campaign to suck your collective brains through a stirrer-straw." - PTA Editorial Staff

Hear these Vandersteen's at the CAF in November. One of my favorite rooms of the show, but only when I got in the sweet spot.

Unfortunately not this year. Hopefully next year I'll do Mike's show in Florida and AXPONA. Originally Posted by Puma Cat

I for one have enjoyed Richards speakers when I've had the opportunity to listen.

It's been many years since I listened to his speakers so it's been several iterations since my last listen. I was seriously impressed the other day. Originally Posted by Mikado463
