r for a preampM-120a w/ Denon 635

Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
"What is the character of the speakers?"The simple answer is, I the speakers are neutral. Not hot or rolled off. What you can do with this information, I have no idea. I heard the Trios in a different room, with different electronics and different...

I have no idea that you already own them. Your post makes it sound like you had them side by side. Since you didn't, my first post applies anyway."I'm assuming that you heard both speakers in the exact same room with the exact same system, and the...
