Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT

@delmatae 

From a Vandersteen Treo owner myself, congrats! Love mine. And also have 1C and 2C’s, now used for other purposes/systems.

And as @gdnrbob said, visit us at the Vandersteen Forum. Great group with a bunch of information from other experienced users, including Richard himself.

 

@holmz ,

The Treo was a significant upgrade from the 3a Sigs I owned before them.

Overall, a more refined sound.

Though I do agree with getting a sub or two.

His Mac 152 should have plenty of oomph to drive a pair of Treo’s, as well as just about any decently designed speaker.

I thought so, but now we are al sure. 😉
Thanks Sir… aka @gdnrbob

The 2 / 3 good as they are just run out of the extra $ available to put into a much better cabinet within a cabinet design w constrained layer damping. A more inert cabinet strongly benefits midrange clarity and bass articulation. The latest Treo also benefits from the sattelite grade carbon fiber tweeter diagram made famous in the model 7.  Go to the YouTube section on the Vandy website to see a nice video about the steps needed to build / finetune in anechoic chamber the crossover w graded / matched drivers…. :-) Conformal dip on the  filter …..not many $30 k loudspeakers get that…low vibration step…

Enjoy

Jim

Not to beat a dead horse, but the attention to detail in Vandersteen as well as their performance longevity make them a real bargain compared to the Wilson's.
