Vandersteen’s room at AXPONA wasn’t about flash. It was about delivering a coherent musical experience, driven by engineering that serves the music above all else. Both the L5-ACC and Quatro CT Evo embody this philosophy—relentlessly focused on the integrity of the signal and the emotional impact of the performance.
I played the Quatros for my partner (female) last night and she was basically blown away. She doesn’t care about anything technical for audio, but she sure liked the sound. She said there weren't many new layers of music from my decent prior setup. However, the overall upgrade was like night and day, she found.
Paraphrasing spontaneous reactions… she said the speakers sounded like they weren’t there. The music was so much “bigger” without being louder. The music didn’t have any parts; it just sounded balanced and even. Bass was deeper and stronger but was just part of the coherent picture, not a separate feature. ‘It just sounds beautiful, quiet and so very clear.” Words from a non-audiophile speak volumes!
