Subs for Treo CT


I’m looking for some advice and help from folks with more experience and knowledge than me.  Just bought a pair of Treo CT’s and am blown away.  I have one Rel T9i sub hooked up, and it’s a noticeable improvement, even as good as these speakers are.  I have a small 10 x 14 space.  Thinking about two subs, so the question is:  a pair of T9i’s, V2W’s, or Rel s/510’s?  I don’t understand how an external cross over works, or whether I’d need one with any or all of these pairs, so that could add additional cost I know.  I also understand diminishing returns as the cost goes up.  Does it even make sense to consider the bigger Rels, since the cost at that point is just a bit less than the Quattro’s?  My front end is exclusively streaming, and I listen at moderate volume.  I don’t know if this is enough info or not—This level of equipment is something new for me.  Thanks for any help!

Congrats on the Treo. IF you need setup assistance don’t hesitate to contact me - I do that frequently- just finished a pair of Treo CT with Aesthetix Mimas integrates - lovely sound.

@Tomstruck has it right - try to get a Vandersteen sub 3, you will get accurate bass and take major load off Treo and importantly the Treo amplifier with the high pass system. Swarm is competitive and an excellent solution in situations where you don’t mind 4 more boxes and want better bass in more areas of the room. By now you probably understand that the Treo are designed for an optimal seated listener position and the 11 bands of EQ on a sub 3 enable you to get great bass at that position.
Have fun, enjoy the music.
who is your local Vandy dealer? I know most of them.
