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!

Ct. Do I get any stars for switching to Vandersteen and living in Wisconsin? lol
A two hour motorcycle ride can unbalance your hearing. I wouldn't do any serious listening after a ride.
I am out of my league? I have probably owned more high end speakers in one year than you have in your life...... different story, different day.

The OP describes the bass as "thud, thud". He DOES mention quality, not only quantity.

I don't have a sub. Don't really need one.

I am not bashing the Treos, nor any other Vandersteen speaker. My commment could be applied to ANY high end speaker.

If anyone on this site is "wondering" about me, they shouldn't waste their time contacting you about it. I am available for such questions.

Wluke, I hope you find a speaker you like. If you have a better audition of the Treos and they are the one, I am happy. If that happens to be another model, still happy.

Good luck.

Shouldn't be a problem if he has an audiophile helmet.
Try a used pair of 5's or 5a....Randy normally has a pair or two of those...mine came out of his house.
Seriously give Richard a call.he takes phone calls....spoke w him yesterday..
