The Treo CT is a wonderful speaker. I can certainly understand how you got "ruined" by a pair. Myself, I was ruined by a pair of Vandersteen Quatro CTs about a year and a half ago. I listened to them at a dealer and compared them to Proac and Wilson. There was not a bad speaker in the bunch but at the end of the day I found the Vandersteen to fit my budget and my ear the best. If I had gotten the Treo I knew that eventually I would want a sub(s). Having always had a sub in my system I knew I would miss the deep bass... so I splurged for the Quatro with the built in subs. I have never enjoyed the music from my system as much as I have over the past year and a half with the Quatro.
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...
