Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs

@OP, I am glad you like the new Vandie's. They really are a leap ahead of the 2's and 3's.
I know the Treo CT's are really super, but I bought ctsooners, Treo's (non-CT), and have no qualms. If I could afford the CT's I would do it in a heartbeat.
My suggestion is to wait for a pair of Treo's to come up for sale used. (There was a pair of CT's for sale not to long ago- They went fast).
As far as subs, I would still opt for a pair of 2wq's. I know the newer EQ sub 3 will smoke them, but, like you, I don't have readily available funds for such purchases, and will have to wait until a pair comes up for sale in the used market.
In any case, I enjoy my Treo's and 2wq's immensely and have no intention of changing anything speaker/sub-wise for a long time.

Now, if I could just find a nicely priced Ayre KXR....

@douglas_schroeder ,
But, you have to admit the Vandersteen line is very well priced, considering how much quality sound they put out.
