#127 Vandersteen Treo CT: $11,090 per pair Audio Connection eBay

Same family: the Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature III (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, estimated 3.6/5) and the Vandersteen VCC-5 (center, rated 3.4/5).

Pros: A time-aligned four-driver floorstander with carbon tweeter, first-order crossovers and exceptional measured bass reach. Erin’s data predicts 27Hz in-room extension, a 4.95 standalone preference score, smooth 0.106 sound power and a 6.17 score with a subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 43.9Hz (-3dB).

Cons: At $11090 per pair, 80 lb each and only 85dB sensitivity, it is costly and amplifier-demanding. The response rises about +0.62dB per octave, horizontal coverage narrows to roughly +/-40 degrees, and on-axis smoothness is only 0.170.
