Thanks to all for your comments. I certainly intend to listen to them all and make my own decision based on my likes/dislikes. Always have. Since I originally intended to go with a 100 watt tube amp (Rogue Stereo 100) I guess my concern at the moment is whether or not that is enough power for the Treos. I hear that they are a bit power hungry. Could I hear from Treo owners as to how much power they are using with their Treo speakers and perhaps whether or not a tube or transistor amp is preferred?
Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner
Hello All. I am considering a new system and after listening to the Harbeth 30.2's with Rogue Electronics I thought I was sold. Recently, however, I heard the Sonner Legato Duo's and was quite impressed. Since the Sonners have been compared to the Vandersteen Cleo CT's I am now planning to give the Cleos a listen too. Is anyone in a position to comment on how these speakers compare?

Yea, who decided to let amputees into the Olympics? Why should they be allowed to compete? They should know their place, right? |
To the OP , great question- take a look at my Casa Pacifica system in the virtual system section for an idea of room size. I don’t listen very loudly to the Treo CT but every now and then do crank them up into to mid 90’s. They are engineered to be an easy load and can be well driven by a quality 40 wpc class a/b amplifier. I use a NAIM atom but also have a 100 wpc Music Reference RM-9. It’s not a loudness thing, but it is an amazing amplifier- created by a genius ( RIP Roger ) I think there are many many quality SS and Tube amps well suited to Treo. My short list would include: arc, Music Ref, Rogue, VTL, Aesthetix, Ayre, Belles, Line Magnetic... NAIM, I only recommend things I have heard fire away w questions |
