Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

Thanks much John......really appreciate your insight.  Regards.....

I'm considering buying Vandersteen Treos.  What is the difference between the two tweeters?  I know it's going to be subjective, but I'm at least trying to get an idea.  Please advise based on your experiences either in home or at a dealer.

Thanks much.  Oh, my amp will be a Belles integrated with either AQ or Cardas cabling.  My room is 16' x 12'.

Regards.....

You know me, bought your Music Hall. Lol.  PM me if you'd like.  Spoke with John.....finally have a plan.  Take care!

@hifiman5 ......thanks much for the advice.  After many trials and errors, Vandersteen is where I'm heading.  I think lots of it has to do with the first order crossover, etc.. ( prior Thiel owner ).  Also, I like Richards approach to design.  It just seems to me to be no nonsense genius without the idiosyncrasies.

I really like your system, having owned McCormack and CJ myself in the past.  Congrats on your certificate!  Regards........

Thanks Ctsooner.....yes, if I were to purchase either new then I think it would be a no brainier , but a mint used pair of the metal dome would sure put a smile on my face at this point.  As John said, I can always trade them in for the CT version down the road.  At least this gets me into the Vandy family and hopefully off the merry-go-round!  

Know anyone who has a mint pair of the originals? Lol.

regards.......

Hi hifiman.....thanks much for your advice/insight.  That's my decision now, to purchase a pair of Treos with the metal dome at a good price or save more and opt for the CT.  The metal dome Treos are a mint pair of trade ins in a color I really like.  I could enjoy those for awhile and then trade them in for some CT to live with for the long run.  Good decision to have.  Also need to add a better front end like your Marantz.

Will keep you posted.  Take care!

Ok, will call you.  Be good to finally meet you if you make it west in Oct.

Will keep you posted hifiman.  You two take care and have a good week.

regards........

Doubt it would be "settled", just another opinion.  Tend to agree with wlutke on this.  After Vandy 2ce Sig II and 1Ci, I've gone back to Tannoy.  Different strokes for different folks I guess.  Regards....

Well said ctsooner!  Take care and enjoy your Vandy Quatros.  You've earned it!

Best......
