Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?

Jetter, I am the guy who bought ctsooner's Treo's, I kind of kick myself for not realizing that the Treo and Quatro share the same footprint. I probably would have gone with the Quatro's and eliminated the 2w subs. Anyhoo, it's done.
Since I visited ctsooner to pick up the Treo's, I think the 5a carbons would be a bit overwhelming for his space, though he might disagree with me.
One of the reasons I sold my 3a sigs was because they were so physically large.- Though I found the sound to be sublime.

The 5's would have been fine in my room.  I have plenty of friends who have small spaces and love their 5CT's.  Personally, I feel the Quatro's are the sweet spot in the Vandersteen line and I'm not made of money.  Iol.  

I rarely second guess my audio purchases as I'm so anal, that I put a ton of time and auditioning in before any purchase.  I know the Quatro's will sound outstanding with a built in crossover in my Ayre AX5/20.  I've heard the 5ct with the AX5/20 on a few occasions and it sounds great, but personally, I like it better on the Quatro's.  Again, I used my ears and not specs to figure that out, lol.  Bob, I really think you will love the Treo's with the amps you have.  :) pete

Congrats on getting your 7's !!!! That color is so cool !!!!

i was in Bruce's place in San Diego recently and heard his 7' in Red - they were sublime with Ref Recordings Symphonic Dances disc.

the chain: Delos , Bardo w tube power supply, Brinkmann arm , VTL pre and mono amps  180 SPC and Nordost cables.... sublime

Randy is great and of course really knows how to get most out of an ARC and Vandersteen pairing

Sorry the VTL are 180 wpc 
there were also two towers of Shunyata power conditioners.

i also listened to Diana Krall live in Paris - a disc I am hyper familiar with - I would say my digital front end system can keep up on many variables... I would call it a tie... some things better, some worse...

Tom, thanks for sharing.  Very cool.
