Just got ruined by a pair of Treo CTs

So, went down to my local hi-fi shop today and they just so happened to have a pair of Treos with the carbon tweeters on display. He put on a Donald Fagen record and my jaw dropped, the top end was just...blissful... just perfect. Hard to describe.
Immediately afterward I heard the magnepan 3.7. while sounding great, the Treos sounded substantially better IMO.
Ok..so was planning to get a brand new pair of model 2s at some point, now I'm not so sure. The Treos CTs cost $8500. Oh dear...

I think the Treos with a pair of SUB THREES might just be my ultimate set-up. Got a lot of saving to do...

I had the Treo's and upgraded to Quatro which is still better than Treo CT with the pair of sub 3's ;)....
You think so? The Quattro only has 2 drivers, sub 3 has 3. Seems like sub 3 would be more powerful. (Also has a bigger amp)

Which dealer do you work with?  All who I have met are great guys (I have personally purchased gear from 5 of them at one point or another, lol)
I see Tim at Bradford's Home Entertainment in Eugene Oregon. They are small and don't have very much gear on display, but what they do have is pretty great. I was surprised when I saw the Treos since is has been years since I've seen any Vandersteen on display. Have to go to Tacoma to demo more of the vandersteen line (I don't think even Portland has a vandy dealer)

How much extra is the bird's eye maple on average? I just realized the $8400 does not included the maple and that it is an added cost. (of course the higher priced one has to be my favorite option)
