re " I heard a VAST difference between the Treo ct and the quatro ct "

I've auditioned them. The bass of the Treo CT is excellent, but doesn't go nearly as low as the Quatro. The mids and treble of both are very close, and superb. I want the Treo CT, and would then add one of his new subs when I could afford it. It would make no sense to get two subs ... you'd have about $14K invested and it would make more sense to get the Quatro CTs with better built-in bass. I cannot afford the Quatro CT, but that would be my first choice.

The Treo CT is special. I think I can live without the maximum low bass response.

If you bought two new Vandy Sub 3's, yes, it would bring the price very close to the Quatro. If you don't mind giving up the freq. EQ. of the Sub 3's, you can buy 2 used Vandy 2Wq's which you can improve the sound of the Treo immensely. I as some others have used this combo with great results. If you look around and are patient, you could pick up a couple of used 2Wq's for $1200-$1400 in very good condition. Just an option to consider.

Great idea! Thanks.

Ain’t it great to have choices ?????

i will admit to thinking about bringing home a couple of Vandy subs and telling the war Department that Crate and Barrel had an end table sale..,,

your results may vary, as might the length of my marriage....

tomic601,
I have to admit that your setup of sub-less Treo Ct's along with your room, the way they are setup, choice of amplification makes a strong case for Treo's sans subs...:-)
