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.
Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen
I finally got an opportunity to hear the 1.7i magnepan. I will blame my ears and taste, but I was underwhelmed. I heard them with tweeters inside and outside for comparison. outside did sound a bit better. Then I allowed them to play the vandersteen quatro ct. The speakers disappeared into the music. Deep, tall, wide soundstage with excellent imaging and air around the different instruments. Full range sound. Thankfully the trio ct sounded almost the quatros equal. I really was ready to go with magnepan. I was surprised. All other speakers are sounding inferior now.
