| stereo preamp $2-5K suggestions Be sure your speakers are set up the best they can be before upgrading anything. You might get some of that magic for free. My (3A Sig) mistakes were assuming the tilt back was the same because I used the same shims on each speaker. That was not t... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Other observations:The Treo central image (vocal) was very natural, a bit laid back behind the speakers, smaller than life size. The perspective was as if from a box seat above the stage, maybe five feet above the vocalist. Even though the actual ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Onhwy61Agreed. People with super loud bikes, half helmets, no earplugs and no wind screen should not take extended rides on the freeway to do critical listening. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade As far as rumbling motorcycles go, and audiophile helmets, for that matter, here is my set up. I have a Honda 1.3 liter, liquid cooled V-4 sport touring bike with stock Honda pipes. You can't hear the exhaust until you hit 80 mph. I sit behind an ... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Mr-m said:"I would like to listen to my Treos with a couple of Vandy subs ... I think that might alleviate some of the bass issues Wlutke talked about. That is if he would be so inclined to check it out. "I'm 6 1/2 hour round trip from checking th... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Ctsooner -I made a vague comment to Randy about the bass, not specific as to the quality or the quantity. His response was that the Treo was designed to be used up against a wall to reinforce the bass, and that they would have a bigger sound. They... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade I just got back from another demo of the Treos at a different dealer. The first demo that I mentioned in my OP was sort of slapped together by my local dealer. The speakers were walked into an approximate triangle, Kinber 8TC hooked up as a bi-wir... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Tomic601 =You make a good point. I'll go back for another demo with an open mind and a battle plan. I'll bring my own music, have them set up the speakers properly and use something better than the single run Kimber 8TC wire in a split HI/LO confi... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Ctsooner -The new 2 series Nordost has taken a ridiculously large sonic leap and does not even resemble the thin sounding Nordost of the past. You should take a listen. The Satori Shotgun is a true shotgun (that means double run). You should resea... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Ctsooner -That is not my system or question. I'm not the OP.Check my last response to the thread. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1396957550&openusid&zzWlutke&4&5 | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Zd542 -Thanks for the opinion. Everybody's got one. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Or just look here at the last post:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1396957550&openusid&zzWlutke&4&5#Wlutke | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Ctsooner -I hear you. I agree that set up and room are major players. HOWEVER, I prefer to keep this thread about the Treos, not my particular situation, and I have made that quite clear. I enjoy reading other's comments and experiences considerin... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade Mr m -Thank you for the thoughtful and even handed review. Well done! Let us know how the bass breaks in. |
