I recently acquired a set of Vandersteen Treo CT to "hopefully replace" my Kef LS50 and a pair of Kef R400b subs.
I am running the Treo full range ( it is a 4-way design ).
But at first I still preferred my pair of Kef R400b subs in the mix, coming in low at 50 Hz or so -> but they were still not the best integrated with the mains .
But then I found audio-nirvana by going sub-less, and using the Devialet's bass tone control to give some more bottom end.
I made SD cards for 50, 55, 60 Hz -> I am liking 50 Hz at +3 setting !
I still get perfect clarity, yet very good bass impact / depth / integration -> NOW no need for my subs.
( I still want to experiment with 40 & 45 Hz settings some more )
I view the tone control as a limited-featured 1-band of EQ.
It should be child's play for the Devialet software folk to implement a few bands of fully adjustable parametric EQ.
