Vandersteen Treo vs Harbeth 30.1

Anyone compared these two speakers? They are the same price and each brand is well respected. I have heard the Treos but have never heard the Harbeth. How are they similar...likewise, how are they different in their presentation. My impressions of the Treo was that it was a bit on the warmish side. Nothing spectacular but a very inviting and involving speaker that drew me into the music in a subtle way. I have heard similar comments about the Harbeth but something tells me they have a completely different sound. Am I correct?

I'm a Vandy fanatic myself. You left out one possibility, and that is you just may not have liked the Treo's. That's the way it goes. Except for Bose, I can't name 1 speaker brand that all audiophiles agree that they like.
