Anyone try a SUB THREE from Vandersteen yet?

I don't think any other sub can integrate as well as the Vandersteen from all I've researched. The DSP sounds cool, but since my main listening is analog, I do not want to digitize the signal. Vandy fits the bill in this regard. The extra dough is worth that benefit IMO.

My equipment is likely too mid-fi for me to comment, but I have never understood the problem many have of integrating a sub into their system.  Maybe its because I have two SVS subs versus one?  Or just lucky? 

pretty much same amp and 11band EQ ( analog as you astutely point out ) as the highly regarded model 7 less the push pull aluminum cone....so the guts and engineering are all there for sure....

as team swarm may mention two subs will to some degree help smooth things vs a single model 3, so it is somewhat of a tough call...what is your room like ?

I know Rhythmic have fans w good ears, I have an ESL63 project going where I may build a set of the dipole subs but rest assured IF I do they will need to be better than sub3....

on the integration question...Vandersteen known for seamless years of messsing w subs, most people have them turned up to loud...home theater style...just my $.02

@bstatmeister I think you would be shocked at how low Treo go.....me personally, I would go there first.......

@jetter - Or maybe you haven’t heard one really well integrated. They are very very rare. :)

However, if you have 2 subs and may place them in ideal locations where one cancels the problems of the other, then you can do a lot more than those with just 1. 

Best,
