Wanted to share this review of Vandersteen Quatro CT's in Positive Feedback

I'm highly familiar with both and the Quatro in my system is still better than the 5 non CT version.  I have Treo's right now and have them up for sale on another site as I want the Quatro.  I purchase Vandersteen's new because that's the only way you can do any upgrades in the future.  Those older 5's ARE great speakers.  They are a bit too big for my room though and I want the CT tweeter, otherwise I'd just keep the ones I have.  I have only listened to Vandy's for the last few years and am blown away.

2psyop, so true.  The Quatro is the sweet spot, but the Treo CT is a very special speaker for the 8500 or so (I don't really know off hand).  I am getting a bunch of offers right now for my regular Treo's. They aren't quite the CT's, but they get you 95% there (if not more) for half of the regular price of a new pair.  I'm loving the Treo's, especially since I got the Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC.  I'm hearing bass that I didn't know they had.  Shows how important room and source really are.

I hear the differences, but yes they are subtle.  I have the regular Treo's, and they are more than satisfying.  Now with my Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC, they are moving more air than I thought they could.  Amazing how they are rocking.  The CT's are very very special though.
