I bought a pair of Vandersteen Treo's over the JM Reynaud's. Got to hear them in Amherst, MA and really liked them. He did a great job at setting them up etc... I did worry about such a small network and how long they'd be in the US in case of problems down the line. I liked the Vandersteen's better though and went that route. I upgraded to the Quatro two months ago and love them, but I'd have no problems going back to the Treo if I needed to for money's sake. If I had to have a stand mounted speaker, I'd really give the JMR's another listen though. I just figured that for the same footprint, I could have that last octave or two of bass. JMHO.
I often get to listen to speakers I used to love many years ago and honestly, today's speaker's overall are so much better, because of the newer technology available. Takes nothing away from great sounding speakers of the past, but when those same designs are upgraded with the better parts available today, they sound that much better. Just look at some of the speakers that are similar designs over 30 years, but built better today.
