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...

Just keep in mind they probably had $$$$ electronics feeding those 85dB @ 6 ohm puppies so YMMV depending on what you have at home. But still they'll spoil your ears no matter what. I had a similar experience with Quattro CT at a friends's home and it took me a few days to start enjoying my own system afterwards.   
"As for driving them, they are very very easy to drive. Not a difficult load at all."

Any other 85dB/2.83v/1m speaker I've owned, even at 8ohms (vs. the Treo 6ohms) required solid power to sound good. These must be an 
exception.
