Got to open up my system today. Vandy Treo's

just opened up like I've never heard. The bass was there in spades. Tight and tuneful. I usually have to listen with the sound lower and they are very clear and dynamic that way, but when opened up a bit I was shocked at how the SQ of the bass and mid bass was. I played all types of music and most had some deep bass notes in them. I was able to hear it and feel it. I'm about to get the Quatro CT's as the carbon fiber tweeter is something special to me. I've yet to hear such a natural sounding tweeter. Too bad it's so costly to make as I'd die for all the drivers to be made of the carbon/balsa wood cones.

We have some great materials now to make some incredible speakers. I'm glad that Richard is still designing as too many of the Mount Rushmore designers have left us or are no longer in the business.

Is it possible the Vandy Treo’s just reached another break in plateau?

My speakers (NO other changes) went through multiple break in stages up to about 2200 hours.

Albert. you may be right and if so, wow. I also think that it's the first time that I've really opened it up. It just has sounded so great at realistic levels that I never feel the need to listen to it as loudly as I did as a kid. I'm glad I did. I won't do it that often, but being a former drummer, I need a speaker that is near full range or full range (this is why I'm going to upgrade to the Quatro's as soon as I'm able to). I just loved how right the bass was. I've always connected with them emotionally, but this was ridiculous in a great way, lol.

if they are just breaking in more, then I'll take it and run. First time that I listened critically, but that wasn't even my intent. It was just a fun day.

If you want to hear another big improvement, get the Ayre 7 cd player to match your amp. The difference will not be subtle.
