Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

I had my local dealer hook up a pair of Treos to demo them and left with a very mixed impression. I like the overall sound. They have a smoother, more refined and sophisticated midrange that the 3A Sigs can't match. I want that. But the bass was less defined and the top end was bright. The sibilance was very exaggerated - this was with CD. Is this the character of the Treo? Thanks!

Hifiman. That's an excellent price. If I can find out the input impedance of my Rogue soon, I would definitely consider purchase. Thanks!

@mr_m;  I have the Rogue CM2 integrated amp.  I have contacted Rogue a couple of times and found them to be very responsive.

I've scheduled an extended audition  of the Treo CT and the Proac 30R next week.  The same dealer carries both. I am narrowing my choices to these two...at least for the moment.  I will report the results of my listening session.  I'm in the process now of selecting music.

Funny Randy as I was a Proac guy and did that audition (before the ribbon  tweeter) and became a Vandy guy.  Are you in NJ or Dallas? I think those are the two who carry both? lol

Dallas....and I will listening to the "R" version.  I had a pair of Proac Response 1sc for an extended loan about 15 years ago.  I loved the sound of those little stand mounts. I have been interested in auditioning the larger Proacs ever since.  I haven't heard the Treo in a number of years..and it was not the CT version.  I don't think the dealer in Dallas has a pair of Quatros to demo at this time.
