There is no absolute answer there. It literally depends on what iteration of speaker you are getting. If you can afford the 3k, I'd probably get a new pair of 2's and a new integrated where you buy them that mates great with them. As I told you, I'm always a bit Leary getting used speakers. The Yamaha amp won't give you the magic the the TReo's or any speaker in that range will give you. It will drive the 3 or lower, but still a new pair of 2's driven by a Rotel, Nad or one of the other integrated amps that AC sells will sound better IMHO. Funny as I did a search on regular Treo's and noticed selling prices from 3800 (they had scratches on them) to 4500. None are even on the market right now that I could find and only a couple have been sold in the last year. Either way, you will get much better sound with 2 to Treo.
Best Speakers with a DNA-1?
I don't want to hijack the contemporaneous discussion of "Speakers costing range of 2500-3500 per pair" on another thread (question by @spendmoney), but I'm curious to know if any of the answers would have been different if the amp were a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe instead of the Denon 4311-ci. I'm using this amp to power a pair of Polk LSIM 707's now, and am contemplating my next move. If any of the responders to that post would care to weigh in here, I'd appreciate it.
