Alpinist (Ken) - how is your new system?

Yuuuuuuuge congratulations Ken. They are amazing speakers. I can not wait for your thoughts and photos.
 
Wait. I don't want to know. I just saw the price tag on them :panic: LoL.

Nice Ken. Hope they come earlier than your expectations. :thumbsup:

Hey, thanks Joe! They are amazing sounding speakers. The best word I could use to describe them is "addictive". Many sleepless nights ahead. :)

Best,
Ken

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered some new speakers. I should have them in a little less than two months. Vandersteen Model 7 MkII. This is the color I picked.

Thanks Mike! I really appreciate it. Everyone is telling me I'll need a turntable, there's still some room on my rack... My thoughts on the tubes are in post #21.

Best,

LOL Kev, so true! My friend was just telling me today that I need to put it to good use.

Ken...congrats on the Vandies. Let us know how it all comes out when all is set up and playing music.
 
Thanks Cyril and Jock! I really appreciate it. I think I'm looking at least six weeks to music with them.

Best,
Ken
 
Congratulations Ken. I've been saying for years that the Vandersteen 7s are my dream speakers. I know that you will love them.

Thanks Bruce! I'm guessing you've heard them at John's place. He really has them dialed in, in his showroom. Now if I could only convince my wife to let me bring in all those silk trees and plants!

Best,
Ken

Is that the main room at Audio Connection? John is the Vandersteen expert and I always used to turn to him for info after my friend from college and later Vandersteen dealer sold his store after 25 years. A pleasure to talk with about gear from the early days of Vandersteen like PSE and Music Reference amps. I always found a great match with Odyssey amps and Vandersteen. Back in the days when Klaus sold through dealers John was one of his main dealers.

Paul,

Yes, Vandy 7's in the forest at Audio Connection. Actually, the room is one of the best sounding I've heard. It stacks up well against a $100,000+ custom designed sound room I've heard.

Hi Jack,

Yes, it is. John is a great guy to deal with and he really knows Vandersteen. He's also a music lover so we're always trading ideas on discs.
