Vandersteen Treo CT or Proac D48R

+1 on contacting JohnnyR for the differences. I own the Treo CT's and love them but John has played the D48R's many times. They are a very good sounding speaker as well. I'm sure John can give you an idea which would be a better fit for you. Good Luck!

We need to create a sub-group of those who have had the good fortune to enjoy JohhnyR's hospitality in Verona!

I love the deep, weighty, bass from his Treo CT's - I think he uses an Auralic Vega G2.1 DAC and probably a class A Belles power amp. Great speakers for their price.

I found the tweeter a wee bit too bright, though, that might be his room issues (they weren't in his listening room at the time but in the front of his store).

Treo CT and another vote for the Johnny R fan club.....

A bright Vandy carbon tweeter ain’t the tweeter, I have two pair Treo CT and 7mk2..... look elsewhere 

One more vote for Treo CT, though I’m sure the Proacs are comparable.  You just have to choose the one sounding best to you.
