Performers truly seem like they are in the room!

Heard both at RMAF and fully agree with you.

I was quite simply blown away by the 7's but it didn't make me appreciate the lower models any less. All of the models are outstanding performers at their price point.

Has anyone had the opportunity to listen to the new Quattro CT's? Nice to see Model 7 and 5A Carbon tech trickling down the chain!

OK, the 2Ce Signature II's are in the house and breaking in. I have the stands ordered and should have them in a couple of weeks. I got some good advice from Richard Vandersteen tonight about placement....RTFM....

So I am.

I have RSVP'd for the Richard Vandersteen event at Ultra Fidelis in November. He is demonstrating his Model 7's and his new amplifier.

Be prepared for a treat and have him play some of your favorite discs if you can. The 7s are one of the best sounding speakers on the market at any price. Midrange performance is unsurpassed and the bass will move you!
