Thinking about pulling the trigger? :) You can’t go wrong with the Treo CTs.  I own a pair of Treo CTs with Ayre gear and I’m very satisfied with the combo.  Great speakers, natural sounding, airy and detailed.  I know some say the bass is a bit weak with the Treo but honestly for my setup, the bass is fine (also you can add subs later if you want). Sounds amazing especially with live music...they just disappear.  If you’re looking for speakers that puts more emphasis on the highs than these are speakers are not for you.  If you want to hear music as natural as a live venue, than these are absolutely for you.  I listen to a lot of speakers and was considering Harbeth, PMC, Proac and a few others.  All great speakers but they didn’t disappear like the Vandersteens. If you haven’t already go over to AudioConnection and give them a listen.
JohnnyR demoed the Quattro CTs for me, which are identical in the midrange up (putting aside the impact of the built in subs).  I was wowed.  
I would have gotten them, if I could afford them.
That being said I bought Ctsooners non CT pair so he could get the Quatro CT's.
I also have a pair of 2wq subs to go with the Treo's
I love what I have.

I am thinking seriously of getting a pair of Treo CTs but am concerned they will perform adequately with my current integrated amp. I have a Line Magnetic 518ia SET rated at 22wpc. Any thoughts if this amp will drive the Treo CTs?  I currently have PSB T2’s and there is plenty power for those...rarely if ever past 11 o’clock in volume. I appreciate any and all comments. 
i have owned various Vandersteen models for 30+ years including currently 7 mk2
IMO they are neutral, musical and boxless sounding..

i have a pair of Treo CT on order for our winter get away place....room is 15 x 32 x 9
i dont listen that loud and intend to use a MAC240 tube amp to drive the Treo

as to Line Magnetic ability to drive them ???? depends a lot on how loud you listen and the room and of course what you listen to.....lug the amp to a friendly dealer and get an idea...
