Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs


So, went down to my local hi-fi shop today and they just so happened to have a pair of Treos with the carbon tweeters on display. He put on a Donald Fagen record and my jaw dropped, the top end was just...blissful... just perfect. Hard to describe.
Immediately afterward I heard the magnepan 3.7. while sounding great, the Treos sounded substantially better IMO.
Ok..so was planning to get a brand new pair of model 2s at some point, now I'm not so sure. The Treos CTs cost $8500. Oh dear...

RV also stated that the terminal strip also made the speakers sound better than standard 5-way binding posts. I believe this theory has been tested by others.

The speakers were set up by the dealer with their measuring devices. They were refined by another dealer friend who said they were much worse before. The ancillary equipment was an Audio Research LS-28, Oppo BDP 105 and Parasound amp(not sure of model but the latest).
