Vandersteen Treo CT or Proac D48R

I own the ProAc D48R and love them - especially after listening to the placement suggestion from JohnnyR. He knows these speakers as if he built them. His placement suggestion made the speakers sound incredibly wide, tall and musical. You should listen to both the speakers and decide for yourself, like I did.

Take a trip to beautiful New Jersey and come hear them with Johnny R. and you’ll know what to do. AND you get to experience the splendor that is The Garden State — the unsung jewel of the northeast — as a bonus!

Thanks everyone for your comments. I have recently visited the Audio Connection and John R. gave me his expert advice on both the Treo and D48r. I have also listened to both. Both exceptional speakers. I decided to go with the Proacs. I had the response 2's years ago and always like the Proac sound. Will be driving the Proacs with the Aesthetix Mimas Integrated amp. Now just waiting for the delivery and setup.

@danbnjshore,

Nice combo!

Hard to move to something different once you develop a preference for ProAc.

@danbnjshore — duh, shoulda realized you were a fellow NJ resident.  Anyhoo, congrats on the excellent new speaks!  As someone who counts both ProAc and Vandy as two of my favorite makes I’m curious what Johnny R. said about them to you.
