The Houston Audio Society will meet at Houston's oldest high end audio store, Audio Concepts, to hear the Vandersteen speakers. Audio Concepts displays the complete line, and we will focus our listening on the 5A, the Quattro, and the 3 Signature. The meeting is this Saturday, March 10th, from 10 AM to Noon, and we'll meet for lunch at a nearby restaurant afterward.

Many high end audio stores are either closing their doors or focusing entirely on HT, so it's a privilege to hear a manufacturer's complete line of speakers, set up properly, in one place. Vandersteen speakers are widely regarded as one of the best values in high end audio.

No reservations are required and all are invited to join us. See the link below for meeting information.

Here I go replying to one of my own messages again. The meeting was one of our best yet. All the Vandersteen models were set up in systems with appropriately priced electronics, each in its own room, so we could hear each in a good listening environment. We focused on the 5A, the Quatro, and the 3A. Joe and Mike Heusi, owners of Audio Concepts, treated us to a special experience. Using a sound meter and a Vandersteen test disk they used the Model 5's twelve equalizer controls to "tune" the subwoofer section to the room.

Looks like a great time! (nt) [message #4124 is a reply to message #4123] Mon, 12 March 2007 06:23 Go to previous messageGo to next message

And after the meeting ten of us met for lunch then walked over to Houston's newest high end audio store, Esoterick, Inc., to to hear the mbl 101E Radialstrahler speaker and the Dali Megaline speakers, all driven by Halcro amplification. Houston is becoming a Mecca for ultra high end audio in Texas!
