Vandersteen VLR CT

My regular VLR's sound pretty amazing for their small size. I'm sure the CT version is worth the money if you want a small package and need super sound.
If I get to Audioconnection, I'll see if Johnny can set up a demo of the two.

I wish he would offer the CT upgrade for my Treo's.
@cedargrove,
I need to let Johnny look at my AX-7e, I will try to see if he can set the two speakers up for a demo.

@mr_m ,
I wish I could buy them new.
And, I haven't seen any used Treo CT's on Hifi Shark, either, which is probably a good thing, as that means people don't want to change.
To be honest, I think my non-CT Treo's are amazing. Since I can't go that route, I am trying to sell some unused equipment and get the Sub 3's.
If by some miracle, Mr. V. would do an upgrade, I would have to get another pair of speakers to listen to while they are in the shop.
I've had my eyes on a pair of MBL 126's for some time. I haven't heard them, but I like the design, and heard good things about them.

I auditioned the VLR CT's at Audioconnection last year.
Setup:
VLR's, Belles Integrated, Ayre Codex, Bluesound Node/Aurender N100.

So, Peter (ctsooner) wants to hear the new AQ William Tell speaker cables. Johnny disconnects the Sub 3 and plugs in the new cables.

Holy cow!
The increased definition across the frequency spectrum was easily heard.
Now, I never subscribed to cables being a significant factor, but these sure changed my mind.
@ediconretro, 
Using the William Tell cables made the VLR's perform like the Sub 3 was still connected.

@peter,
Thanks for posting and I am glad you love the VLR's.
I own the non-CT's, but
I never thought they would sound as good as the other Vandy models, but Mr. V. seems to always make great speakers at a great price.

@peterclemens,
As a whole Agon'ers behave well, esp. Vandy Threads😉.
Just don't mention fuses, or cables...

My VLR's are mounted near the ceiling/corners of the room with a little downward tilt and angling toward my desk.
I wish I could listen a little further away, but that is where they have to go.
I love the way they sound.
( I had a pair of Zu Omen Bookshelf speakers before, but the Vandy's are much, much better. I can't believe such a small box can make so much quality sound).
I also have a pair of Hsu subs under the desk to flesh out the lowest notes, but to be honest, I really don't think I need them.
Are they as good as my Treo's, no- especially considering the positioning, but they sound very nice. No fatigue, lots of definition- as a Vandy should be.
