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...

exron,

Yeah, If you don't like neutral, natural mids and highs with lightening quick bass and extension, I guess I can see your point.....;-)

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.

tomic601,

Jim. What a great time I had the other evening! Your Treo's sounded better than I've heard them set up anywhere else, including mine, and I have a sub! I always felt the Treo's bass on their own always sounded just a smidgeon light, not so with yours. Couldn't get over how natural they sounded with anything we listened to. Is that integrated a Naim Uniti Atom? Wow is that little thing impressive! I'm considering getting one too. Everything you played sounded great.  I'm am sure all that great sound came from your expertise in set up. You are an awesome person and you have a great wife!  She is so knowledgeable about this hobby. I was impressed!  Thanks for your warm hospitality, and the red wine. I had a wonderful evening at your place.
Cheers!
Tim
