Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo — the Evolution of Iconic Speakers
20.07.2025 05:11 | ~1 minute read
Vandersteen Audio has introduced an upgrade of the famous Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT acoustic systems — the new speakers are called Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo. Traditionally for the company, a scheme with active subwoofer sections in each speaker is used here. The acoustics has a stable impedance of 8 Ohms, but a rather low sensitivity of 87 dB — so, for operation, an amplification of 40 to 200 W is required. Despite the presence of a built-in active subwoofer, the speakers do not require an external crossover — a bi-wire connection from the amplifier is enough.
The key component of the Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo acoustic systems is the Carbon Tweeter, originally developed for the flagship Model 5A Carbon model. For the midrange, a patented 4.5-inch Reflection-Free driver with a system of radical suppression of sound reflections back is used. Each Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo speaker features dual 8-inch CounterForce low-frequency drivers powered by integrated amplifiers with an 11-band equalizer that allows for precise bass tuning to suit the acoustics of a particular room. In keeping with Vandersteen Audio's philosophy, the Quatro Wood CT Evo speakers feature time- and phase-matching of all drivers.
Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo speakers are available now with a suggested retail price of $23,900 per pair.

The CH Precision T10 10MHz Time Reference is Really Impressive
The CH Precision T10 10MHz Time Reference is a new premium clock that is suitable for both the “ultimate” upgrade of the CH Precision C10 Master DAC and for enhancing the sound of any high-end digital audio system. Independent clock domains between the transport and the DAC can introduce discrepancies that blur resolution and disrupt consistency. The CH Precision T10 external clock solves this problem head-on, providing an exceptionally pure 10MHz master clock designed with ultra-low phase noise and virtually eliminated jitter.

Hegel H150 – an Integrated Amplifier with a Damping Factor of 2,000
The Hegel H150 integrated amplifier has been announced – the model will replace the well-known Hegel H120. The new model will offer a power of 2 x 75 W with a damping factor of 2,000 – that is, there are simply no complex acoustic systems for the device. In addition, the Hegel H150 is equipped with a built-in phono preamplifier and an advanced streamer.
