Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400

Hello all,

I am investing in a system upgrade.  My room is not the greatest and I won't be doing any acoustic treatments to it.

Basically the main speakers need to be within 12 to 18 inches of the wall (WAF).  Because of this I am thinking of building the system around Lyngdorf and Room Perfect.

I am thinking of pairing the Vandersteen Treo CT with a Pair of Sub threes.  I would be driving these with a Lyngdorf TDAI 3400.  

My question is the SUB Three's have room EQ and the Lyngdorf has room correction.

How would I set these up together?

Would I get the SUB Three's set up and them run the Lyngdorf Room Perfect

or

Would the room perfect render the SUB Three's EQ as useless in that case I would just by the cheaper Vandy V2W subs without the EQ and let room perfect blend the subs and mains.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am in a similar situation, so this is a great thread.  I really like  the Aesthetix Mimas suggestion and will be following along.

Regarding the Lyndgorf, it isn't voiced with Vandersteen but I believe it does have a built-in high pass that can be set to 100hz with a 6db slope...I think.

Regardless, good luck and I appreciate the community.

Yes the Lyngdorf crossover can be set this way. Main output from the speaker terminals and the pre outs can both be set t ok whatever you choose. It is very transparent and done in the digital domain.

As Johnny (audioconnection) is familiar with the Lyngdorf, I would consult him before connecting a Vandy sub to it.
@efoo , you have some nice equipment to play with.
I would first connect the Treo's sans subwoofer and get a feel for what it can do. Then, try the Velodyne. Though I think it will not give you the 'feel' of what a Vandy sub can do. Using the M5-HP crossover really makes a difference, that other sub manufacturers can't duplicate.

Thanks B... I will do that 

BrianG and Mofojo does that mean that the Lyngdorf would act like the Vandersteen high pass?

Yes you would bypass the EQ on your sub and set all crossover points on the Lyngdorf. Will time align things as well. Very good sub integration. This would work just fine unless I am missing something. 
I'm trying out some monitors right now with my JL sub. I set Lyngdorf high pass at 80 and low pass at 80. Sounds great!
