Vandersteen Audio

The Vandersteen Audio 

Model Treo is a floor-standing, dy-

namic loudspeaker developed and 

refined by thirty years of advanced 

research into loudspeaker design.  

The engineering, construction and 

materials of the Model Treo far ex-

ceed conventional industry standards 

and have resulted in a level of musi-

cal performance unmatched by larger 

and more costly designs. 

The Model Treo is a worthy 

addition to any high quality music 

system.  The innovative first order 

crossover supports bi-wiring or 

mono wiring.  Superb dynamic and 

transient response guarantees supe-

rior performance from records, tapes, 

CDs and video sources.  Custom en-

gineered drivers, built exclusively 

for Vandersteen Audio, are mounted 

in special baffles designed to maxi-

mize each drivers accuracy and mu-

sicality.  An aesthetically pleasing 

appearance, incorporating an acous-

tically transparent grille (required) 

allows the Model Treo to compli-

ment the décor of your home. 

The Vandersteen Audio 

Model Treo is designed and built in 

the United States of America.
