How does Vandersteen 2CE Sig II compare to Treo?


Seems like they use the same driver and the specs are similar.

Ha. Nice looking speakers. If the drivers are the same, I think richard's rationale for the box less design makes sense and the Treo is really addressing aesthetic and WAF factors, not necessarily sonics; wood cabinets do cost a lot.
Is the Devore a time & phase coherent design? Seems a lot of that sound stage magic comes from that - heard with Vandersteen and Theil.
Based I what could see on their website T&P coherency does not appear to be part of the design principle the way it is for speakers like VS, Thiel, and the old Meadowlark brand. These have a particular sound that comes from those 1st order crossovers and time aligment that may be what appeals to folks that like these speakers. Heard very good thing about the Devores, but it appears to take a different approach.
