Vandersteen Treo CT

@stevenyc,
Johnny is the best dealer I have ever known. Hands Down!

Greetings from a Treo CT owner. Here is the update I promised. Well, its been a good 3 1/2 months of break-in on the Treos and I could not be happier. The detail is phenomenal, especially when listening to hi-rez Tidal tracks. Although, I still listen to CDs and intend to add analog at soe point.

One of the first things I noticed even out of the box was that I heard details that were not evident in my prior speakers (Vienna Acoustics Mozarts) and the sound-stage in the listening position appears to be floating in the center of the room. I've heard it said that the Treos may need subs to enhance the bass slam. Well for me that is not the case. What I find happening is that the quality of the recording quality and bass content determines what I/we hear. It differs from recording to recording. 

Based on my components, I may not have the absolute perfect power to drive these, but I'm still quite pleased with the result.

More to come. Thanks for all of the guidance and happy listening.

Cheers,

Steve

@stevenyc  In your room, where would you say the front and back planes of the soundstage lie w.r.t. the plane of the drivers in the speakers.

My non-CT Treo's seem to have a soundstage starting at the speaker and going to the rear wall behind them.
My listening spot is almost in front of the left speaker, but I still get a full soundstage.

I have 5A's...the finish is called Kowazinga....gorgeous.  A furniture repairman that was here fixing a scratch in a table said that the finish on the speakers was masterful.  Vandersteen gets along very well with Audioquest (the cable used in Richard's speakers) The better the electonics, the better the sound out of the speakers
