@noromance Brian, congrats on the Treo. **Your system is improving so fast**. Let us know what improvements you're enjoying. That’s probably because it needed so much improvement 😁 As I said earlier, the Treo’s are much more refined, especially in the mids. The presentation is much different than the 2’s. More ‘air’, and the music just ‘hangs’ in it, more ‘spacial’. The overall timber and tone is what I would expect from Vandersteen, and the reason I’m such a fan. The sound is so natural for all three Vandy’s I have. The 2’s, albeit very good, were just a heavier focused and overall thicker overall presentation in comparison. That said, I’ve been messing with the placement a lot over the last couple albums. I’m making pretty big moves checking out the ‘extremes’. Not yet getting that locked-in center and overall defined imaging I had with the 2’s that help the speakers disappear, but that is just a matter of figuring out the correct placement for my room. It took me a long time with the 2’s to get right, and the Treo’s will be the same. |

@bkeske I assume they’ve been run in already.

@sbank Jerome Sabbaugh I have 'No Filter.' I'll give it a second spin. They used the best of AAA production as far as I recall. However, I thought the sound was pretty dull and lifeless. |
@noromance
Oh yea. The original and only owner had them for about 6 years. The dealer sold them to him originally. Albeit, there were used at his vacation home, not his primary residence. |
Hey Brian, is that a disclaimer or an admission? |
B, Hopefully, he used them!

2003 Myth America Records Man, I gotta get that on vinyl. One of my Natalie favs, and only have it on 1&0’s |

@bkeske..
I keep waiting for someone to release the House Carpenters Daughter on vinyl but no luck so far. With that said the CD sounds pretty good with my Moon 260D and of course the Treo's.
Another note on the Treo's. I played Darkness On The Edge of Town for the first time in awile earlier tonight and the bass never sounded better. It was like I was listening to it for the first time. I got a new Hana SL cart a few months ago so I'm not sure if that's what did it but like I said earlier the Treo's never cease to amaze. |

Not too fancy. Lush. Rich. Romantic I suppose. Menuhin was quite a guy.

@bkeske, have you tried setup (finding the best center) playing mono recordings?
I’m curious about the power needs of the treos. Will you need a bigger amp?
|
+1 on “Fragile” Steve. My copy is one of my treasures. I feel like I have to save it for when I really need to give myself a treat. You know what I mean? |

@spiritofradio @bkeske, have you tried setup (finding the best center) playing mono recordings?
I’m curious about the power needs of the treos. Will you need a bigger amp? I simply placed them closer together. I was trying to get them spaced widely apart, but, in my room, if I spread them too far apart, I lose a solid center, and the music sounds like an old reprocessed for stereo Beatles album 😁 The 2’s we’re similar. So finally started literally with a 3’ space between them, and incrementally moved them farther apart until I knew it was too much and lost the solid center and coherent imaging. I have an odd room, with a variety of things going on, so I’m a bit limited. Will keep playing regardless. In terms of the amp, my old ‘tank’ Belles 400A ‘dual mono’ amp is 200W per channel, so more than enough. But more important, it is a high current amp. Which is more important that shear watts. |
Ah, didn’t realize your amp was that powerful. Good luck and have fun with the setup. Those are beautiful speakers. |
|
|
i think the Belles 400 is derived from Lincoln industrial welder for current delivery….ha. |
@tgilb ++++ Natalie.. Frankly i could listen to her reading knitting instructions…. |

I recently checked to see if Natalie had a future tour planned but no luck.
Last saw her on the Leave Your Sleep tour in a small venue. And yes, she was a wonder.
