Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8


Was just wondering if anyone has heard this combo together?

The TREO’s being at 86db sensitivity are a little tougher to push, but the Pass amp, being "pure Class A" is quite buff.

Also the TREO’s being 6ohm give the Pass amp a little more head room.

Just wondering. Anybody heard this combo?

I had a friend bring that Pass over when I owned the Treo's (Now Quatro) and it sounded great in my room. I have a large area to fill up too, but I also one listen at 85db or so when seriously listening. I use a sound pressure meter app from my listening seat, lol....I highly recommend it.
I think it was the 30W one, but it could have been the larger one.  I ran mine for a couple of years with the Ayre AX7e, which is A/B and a smaller amp than my AX5/20.   The Pass he brought over wasn't large, was a stereo not mono and had plenty of weight in the lower register.  It was a couple of years ago.  I went to the Pass site to see which one and it probably was the 30.8.  
Guys, I know this is stupid, but if you can try the Belles amps, you may be shocked.  For my ears, I have found them to be as good as products that cost much more.  I read folks say that all the time and cringe, lol.  There are some products that punch higher than they cost, but the Belles line seems to be very special from top to bottom.  Just a thought as I know one dealer who sells a lot of them with Vandy's.  Just a though.
