Post Subject: Vandersteen 5sPosted by Wojtek on: 4/16/2007
Hi there
I've heard them a few times driven by Audio Research power plant amp and their best tube CD player. My friendly dealer explained to me principles of Vandersteen design. Small woofer (because big one isn't fast enough ??) with its own plate amp. and mid -high section which is time aligned and driven from outside amp. The midrange supposed to be patented design with small diameter tubular magnet to prevent back wave refections. They offer typicall high -end sound ("resolution" (in the Absolute Sound meaning ) ,pin-point imaging and disapearing act ) The tweeter is pretty offensive but overall they aren't aggresive.(you can adjust the mid -high level) I don't like this kind of sound but most of folks who visit the store just love them. They mostly listen to light jazz.
