Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade


I had my local dealer hook up a pair of Treos to demo them and left with a very mixed impression. I like the overall sound. They have a smoother, more refined and sophisticated midrange that the 3A Sigs can't match. I want that. But the bass was less defined and the top end was bright. The sibilance was very exaggerated - this was with CD. Is this the character of the Treo? Thanks!

Don't you have to actually list them for sale before you can get an offer?

Thx for blast from past....one of my fondest memories are of Mac 240 tubes glowing blue w plasma playing Roumers thru dads big Bozaks....OMG we cranked that up.

Image wide out beyond Speakers w shaker, guitars acoustic and harmonics. Apparent depth of background vocals is way far back, reverb and Echo on Nicks voice has her a bit varied in height but you are right not a tall image. Classic multi track made up thing..the snare in particular is in front of much of the image. Looking at RTA not all that much going on for a subwoofer to work with...might want to use bass line in Chain at about 3:30 in to judge definition and tone...just my thoughts....
After reading your comments on the type of sound you're getting, I can't help but think that you may like the 3's better with a 2nd V-5, instead of a speaker upgrade.
Shakey, stay on topic dude. I already have a few who are interested. I'm not in a hurry though ;)....anything else that I may answer for you about my life? Maybe we should all stay on topic, lol. Feel free to PM me with your questions though.
