The KĒNTO Carbon represents a ground-up re-thinking by Richard and Nathan Vandersteen. The answer came in a totally new design at the historic Model 5 price point. This speaker brings together the Model 5A carbon tweeter and the patented Carbon/Balsa core midrange from the Model Seven MK II, the Mid-Bass from the Quatro CT, with the all-new built-for-Vandersteen side-firing Counterforce pistonic 9" powered bass drivers. The result is a level of adjustment, unlike any other speaker. Available uniquely in both wood veneer and painted finishes.
New! Vandersteen introduces a version of the Quatro Wood CT with no external crossover.
Vandersteen Audio introduces the Quatro Wood CT, the latest evolution in speaker technology and sound quality to derive from the research & development efforts that delivered the patented carbon-fiber Perfect-Piston drivers used in the flagship Model 7. While the Perfect-Piston Tweeter used in the Model 7 is the fully embodied deal of high-frequency purity and resolution, the Quatro Wood CT (Carbon Tweeter) features the superb Carbon Tweeter from the renowned Model 5A Carbon.
The Vandersteen Audio's full-range floorstanding 3-way featuring the patented carbon-fiber Perfect-Piston Carbon Tweeter, similar to its larger siblings, in a package that is the "little gem" of the entire speaker lineup.

That said, if you have a listening space and are an audiophile, this speaker will keep up with your most demanding listening criteria. This is a great first Vandersteen and also a Vandersteen that will stay for a lifetime.
The Model 3A Signature is a classic Vandersteen in being an extreme-performance hot rod in a brown paper bag.

It's a big speaker that plays really big, and yet fully realizes all of the nuance, finesse and detailed musicality of a Vandersteen.
