Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

Jeff, I think that many feel the Treo is thin, because it won't move as much air as a 3 or some other speakers.  What it is, is the entry into a higher resolution speaker.  I personally had it move plenty of air in my room and it never sounded thin. I also use an Ayre AX-5/20 and a QX5/20 with a TOP server (best I've heard), lol.  I got plenty of deep bass and it was tuneful.  Even on electronic music it was plenty deep in my room in my system.  I do understand that some feel that they want more air moved, so subs is a great deal as Treo is a full range speaker and the subs work great.

Ct. You said Treo Ct's with subs gives you about 90% of the Quattro's. I think its more  like 94.67892%.......

IF my memory serves me right Bruce at Stereo Unlimited has PSB also so haul your amp in there for a listen....you could do anice slow A/B

just remember your short term wow brain likes louder and finely etched detail and your longer term brain likes the real thing...


Stay out of the room with the 7's it is a musical black hole....lovers of music..never escape the purity well......

Ha

Tom, that's kind of funny.   I personally love listening to someone's highest end achievement and then listening to the rest of the line in lowering order.  Helps me figure out how much trickle down is going on.  I find on so many speaker lines, that I may like or love one of them and not the others.  Had that conversation with someone yesterday as his are the only speaker in the line he has that I like.  He agreed, lol.

Also agree on short term/long term listening.  Great detail in never etched., lol.

To maybe resurrect this old thread, i just acquired a pair of Treo CTs and they are fabulous. I also purchased the Audiokenesis Swarm sub system and they take care of whatever bass “problem” some had with the speakers. I will likely enjoy this combination for a very long time. 

The question now is:  keep the Quicksilver V4s are get an Ayre or some other top notch solid state amp???
