Vandersteen Treo CT, Pair of Sub threes and Lyngdorf TDAI 3400


Hello all,

I am investing in a system upgrade.  My room is not the greatest and I won't be doing any acoustic treatments to it.

Basically the main speakers need to be within 12 to 18 inches of the wall (WAF).  Because of this I am thinking of building the system around Lyngdorf and Room Perfect.

I am thinking of pairing the Vandersteen Treo CT with a Pair of Sub threes.  I would be driving these with a Lyngdorf TDAI 3400.  

My question is the SUB Three's have room EQ and the Lyngdorf has room correction.

How would I set these up together?

Would I get the SUB Three's set up and them run the Lyngdorf Room Perfect

or

Would the room perfect render the SUB Three's EQ as useless in that case I would just by the cheaper Vandy V2W subs without the EQ and let room perfect blend the subs and mains.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think monoblocks are somewhat overrated ( yes I do own some... )
the Aesthetix Stereo amp is a wonder and has built in high Pass filter ....
but the good news in Johnny has all this gear you can hear with Quattro CT

enjoy your quest !
painted or wood Quattro ?
 @ctsooner reference system has never sounded better, I continue to make small adjustments and encroach ( erode ) WAF....latest put them another foot apart, then back 3” as I started to get some asymmetrical image due to reflections off picture window...

I am going to try the “master “ setup trick and evaluate zeroing out the lowest EQ setting....my room while just 15’ x 17’ is framed very well and has a sloped 16’ ceiling and a lot of openings.".but why not try ????
“These are not the subwoofers you are looking for, move along.....”

@ efoo just missed ya then...buckle up for winter and snowblowers while we are trapped here in perpetual sunshine and fires...ugh.

I have had the Treo CT for  about 6 months now. I love them. Easy to setup and dial in. Suprisingly good and deep bass for not having powered sub, but you can add that later.

I am certain that the MIMAS is fantastic, pretty much everything Jim White touches is IMO.....I have his Pandora DAC....very nice sound...rugged build quality, excellent engineering including Faraday cage, a guy who understands RF and analog circuit s and the evil the former can foist on the latter....so ya, Aesthetix should be on your list for sure...
good call OP !!!!!
I have Treo CT fairly close to the wall 14” and they sound fantastic
running them with a 40 WPC Naim amp
the sub three would be devine but get me evicted !

have fun, go slow, build a relationship with Vandy dealer and they will help you wring the maximum out of your room using analog EQ
