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?

Jim. I think the OP's original name "Cleo" is a great name for a speaker. Contact Richard V. and see what he thinks! lol

I use a Rogue Pharaoh integrated hybrid. 175 WPC. It has a tube preamp section and a Class D Hypex power output.

Although many of the above choices would be very good too!

I too, have Treo Ct's.

Treo's aren't power demanding. I would say any decent 75-100 wpc amp should power them sufficiently- unless you want to have a block party.
I use an Atmasphere MA-1 for my winter listening with the Treo's.

And, if you end up getting the Vandy subs, then you'll really be good to go.

Thanks especially to mr_m and gdnrbob for their first hand comments on power requirements for the Treo. I'm very please to hear that. And thanks to all who commented.

As Tomic601 and Bob said, you don't need a lot of wattage to drive the Vandys. The integrated amp I chose happens to have a robust amount of power output.
