Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade


I had my local dealer hook up a pair of Treos to demo them and left with a very mixed impression. I like the overall sound. They have a smoother, more refined and sophisticated midrange that the 3A Sigs can't match. I want that. But the bass was less defined and the top end was bright. The sibilance was very exaggerated - this was with CD. Is this the character of the Treo? Thanks!

Little touchy are we?

You make a statement in the thread and I ask a question. Don't be so regimented, after all, this is just an audio forum. It's not life or death.

Shakey, I promise you that you can't make me touchy. May come off that way, but I was laughing when I hit send ;). I really messed up my post as it was supposed to be taken in the totally opposite vein. Sorry bout that.

Sorry to reply so late on this been trying to read thru it all but been rather busy.
There was a gentleman on AudioCircle that actually had a pair of the Treo's 2Wq's combo. He posted his impressions for awhile then wound up selling the Treo's and went back to his original pair of 2Ce Signatures. I will look for the post and post his impressions here, might be the weekend before I can get to it though.
His thoughts made me start thinking I would need to listen to Vandersteen's newer offerings before letting my 3A Sig go.
Anyway just thought I add to the confusion (lol).

I'm currently in Japan for a few weeks but I saw this thread still going so I thought I'd share.
Vandersteen will tell you that set up correctly the Treos with the pair subs will get you very very close to the Quatros and allow you to put the Treos in the proper place,met for your room. Very flexible system. That's from the company. Your dealer can help you set it up and dial it in correctly. It's pretty easy
