Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade

Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
Take my opinion with a grain of salt. The dealer set the Treo CT's and the one 2Wq sub up meticulously. I gave him a few days notice for the demo. He played some incredible music cuts for me. Guess I got caught up in the moment. Even Richard Vande...

Anyone here heard of the "Leslie" effect. In short, this distorts the sound with a ceiling fan running in the listening room. 
Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used
While I have not listened to them, it sounds like the new Elac monitors are giving a lot of competitors in the 1k. range a run for their money. All for half that price!

What's that term for slightly out of round? Oh yeah......., eccentric. 
Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers?
I've listened to both Revel and Sonus Faber. My choice......., Vandersteen. Just IMHO.
