Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

Thanks Ctsooner.....yes, if I were to purchase either new then I think it would be a no brainier , but a mint used pair of the metal dome would sure put a smile on my face at this point.  As John said, I can always trade them in for the CT version down the road.  At least this gets me into the Vandy family and hopefully off the merry-go-round!  

Know anyone who has a mint pair of the originals? Lol.

D, give me a call tomorrow and we can figure it out, lmao....also I'm hoping to get out to Madtown again in OCT with the wife. If so, I will plan a meeting ;)....LOL.

@carmenc  @ctsooner   Wow this sounds like a win win for both of you.  Agree with ctsooner about the ceramic coating.  As I understand it, Richard employed the ceramic coating to greatly reduce the ringing.  I have not had the good fortune to hear that tweeter but knowing Richard he rarely if ever shoots blanks when it comes to implementing a design.

carmenc I'll look forward to hearing  from you once you guys can get together to do the deal.

All the best!

Ok, will call you.  Be good to finally meet you if you make it west in Oct.

Will keep you posted hifiman.  You two take care and have a good week.

regards........

I've been very happy with the ceramic tweeter. I just want the bass control for my room.  I spoke with Richard about the differences in the two. I have heard the CT speakers since day one.  I personally think they are the top tweeters I've ever heard.  He just gets the tradeoffs right.  That's so hard to do and why so many love his speakers.  They are very difficult to dislike. Some do, but you can't please everyone.  

Yes, this could be a win win.
