When Atkinson measured the original Treo he found relatively benign impedance but sensitivity of 82.5dB that was even lower than the stated 85dB spec. I wouldn’t drive those speakers with your amp.
Thoughts? - First Watt F8 / Vandersteen Treo's
Always have been interested in the Treo's after hearing these at a friends. I have run across a lightly used pair but it seems to me looking at the specs these are not a good fit with my First Watt F8. The F8 being a Class A puts out 25 W - 8ohms. The Vandersteen site shows a minimum of 40W into 8 ohms and sensitivity of 85 db. First glance tells me that this is likely not a solid combination. Thoughts?
