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!

My point about riding motorcycles and critical listening relates to the fact that at highway speeds the rider can experience SPLs in the 100-105dB level. I don't think it would be wise to do a component evaluation after two hours at that very loud level.

Agreed. People with super loud bikes, half helmets, no earplugs and no wind screen should not take extended rides on the freeway to do critical listening.
Agree also. Your hearing takes a toll when riding without ear protection. No way around it.

C'mon guys, this thread is way to much fun to let die. Somebody, any body have something good to say?
You could start by pissing off Shakey. His posts are really fun to read when he's mad.
