Re: Mini-review: Vandersteen/Magnepan/Paradigm


Hi again,

Well, like I posted above, I was "trying to buy" the Vandersteen 3A Signature that JCD linked me to at audiogon. The deal went through and I am now the proud new owner of these speakers.

I got them set up last night. Without getting out a tape measure, I set them up in somewhat reasonable positions. They sound very good. I am going to be playing around with placement over the weekend, I'm sure. But the initial sound is very warm and involving, very present. The Vandersteen manual is rather detailed about placement and set up, so, time permitting, I will be getting out the tape measure. My wife is so excited.

I'm current using an 80 WPC Denon receiver as an amp. My Sunfire Cinema Grand is still being repaired after UPS smashed it up. It supposed to be back Monday, so I'm looking forward to having more power to drive these guys with.

I'll probably post a full review after a week or two of listening.
