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!

You could start by pissing off Shakey. His posts are really fun to read when he's mad.

Yeah. But he seems like a pretty good guy. Just likes to voice his opinion a little more than others.

Shakey doesn't get mad zd, he just tells it like it is, at least the way I see it as it is, which is, it IS what it is, right Shakey? If you have to define what is is, you'll likely never get it.

He's a good guy I'm sure. Honestly, the OP is a great poster and I loved the way he dealt with things. Taught me a lesson or two. I personally hope he gets to hear the Treo's with the subs that are set up properly. That's basically like 98% of the Quatro's. He obviously gets the sound from 100 hz and up. For the money it's really hard to beat the Treo's and when you augment the bass correctly, it's devastating. Spoke with a guy the other day who runs his with two Vandy subs and he loves it. He moved the TReo's out 3' from the wall and they disappeared.

How's that for keeping to the OP's post?
