Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

I had my local dealer hook up a pair of Treos to demo them and left with a very mixed impression. I like the overall sound. They have a smoother, more refined and sophisticated midrange that the 3A Sigs can't match. I want that. But the bass was less defined and the top end was bright. The sibilance was very exaggerated - this was with CD. Is this the character of the Treo? Thanks!

Congrats on the Treo CTs! 😀

On the day I picked up my CTs I listened to Vandy 1Cs with the Quicksilvers.  Magical!!!  I use SS with my Treos but I would love to hear my Treos with the Quicksilver.

Good luck with the decision.

congrats on the Treo's.  The Quickies are really nice amps, but which Ayre amp are you looking at?  The new Belles Amps told you about will drive the heck out of them and sound great for the price. Give Johnny a call and ask him his thoughts. He sells Ayre, Quicksilver, Belles and a bunch of others.
