Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

Other observations:

The Treo central image (vocal) was very natural, a bit laid back behind the speakers, smaller than life size. The perspective was as if from a box seat above the stage, maybe five feet above the vocalist. Even though the actual image appeared only a couple of feet behind the speakers, the smaller size gave an impression of a greater distance and larger soundstage - Fleetwood Mac Rumours, "Oh, Daddy" track. I liked it. Diana Krall at the piano had a similar presentation. The 3A Sigs are more life size on the Fleetwood Mac. Laid back, smaller stage but more "face to face".

I like the perspective in my room, however I do want the Quatro's. I think they are the sweet spot in Richard's line. That's why the Treo's with two of his subs would get that larger size you eluded to. That's the speaker I'm saving up for and will buy as soon as I get a fair offer on my new Treo's, lol.

" I'm saving up for and will buy as soon as I get a fair offer on my new Treo's,"

Don't you have to actually list them for sale before you can get an offer?

Shakey

OK will play FMac O Daddy on the 5 a and see what they do with it...

Thx for blast from past....one of my fondest memories are of Mac 240 tubes glowing blue w plasma playing Roumers thru dads big Bozaks....OMG we cranked that up.

Image wide out beyond Speakers w shaker, guitars acoustic and harmonics. Apparent depth of background vocals is way far back, reverb and Echo on Nicks voice has her a bit varied in height but you are right not a tall image. Classic multi track made up thing..the snare in particular is in front of much of the image. Looking at RTA not all that much going on for a subwoofer to work with...might want to use bass line in Chain at about 3:30 in to judge definition and tone...just my thoughts....
