Holy Cow. My Vandersteen Treo's sound like new..


speakers. I love the Treo's. I want the Quatro CT's. I just plugged in my Ayre AX-5 Twenty (the dealer burned it in for me) and HOLY COW.....I've never heard an integrated do what this amp can do. It woke up the Treo's and they really didn't need to be awaken. The bass is SOLID....Tuneful...you can hear each and ever note just as solid and in space as any other part of the spectrum. The soundstage and imaging is huge on the cuts that are produced that way and small and intimate on those that are supposed to be. I loved the AX5 before it was sent back to upgrade to the Twenty, but THIS IS SICK.... It's a totallly new amp. I will share more as I get the time, but I'm in shock as to what my system now looks like. Thanks Johnny Rutan at Audio Connection for forcing me to audition the Vandersteens even though I didn't want to. I'm willing to sell my Treo's now as I want the Quatro's....This is like crack......;)

I'd like to branch this thread to include a conversation of the Vandersteen Quattro.

You seem to have a lot of experience listening to various models of Vandersteens and like you I am a fan of their sound in general. Also like you I am interested in the Quattro. Have you had a chance to compare the older Quattro to the newer CT version? I understand you have the regular Treos and have become smitten with the CT upgrades. I have an opportunity to buy an older version of the Quattro but will be unable to compare the older and newer versions side by side. In your opinion, how significant are the differences between to older and newer models of this speaker? Thank
