2. speakers
  3. 1240213130

All vandersteen users ?

have been using vk55: 55wpc for a pair of vandersteen 2ce Sig2 where have been recently told by another dealer that unless we hit 200W, one cannot really imagine what these speakers are capable of ..... he mentioned immensely higher 'headroom'

now looking at either upgrading to

1. a pair of vk55 monblocks
2. or just a vk75

Speakers wise, wld be looking at going up to vandersteen quatro...

Qn: Wld 02 x vk55 monoblocks really be too little for vandersteen 2ce Sig2 OR for that matter the quatro..

any advice from any vandersteen users wld be highly appreciated...

Please indulge me bringing up an old thread. Given, as I state under my system, I need to use my 2ce sigs in my tv setup room, I feel I am wasting the classe amp. I am considering a wyred for sound dac 1 as an upgrade to my listed secondary system which is turning out to be primary system. Is it crazy to move the smaller Nad amp to the Vandersteen 2ce system given that its main function is tv/ blu Ray?

I get excellent sound and loud enough for me with a CJ CAV-50 45W integrated tube amp, with Vandy 2ce sigII. Of course my room is 14x16x8 ft.

As a thought you could get casters that permit furniture movement on carpeted floors at Home Depot or Lowe's for less than $20. Place them under the four corners of your stands, this would allow you to slide the systems from one room to the next. I did this while following the Master Set set-up instructions under my 3A Signatures and it worked great. These also make it easy to move a stand out away from the wall to make component changes when needed. Hope this helps with your dilemma.

Thanks, Ig316B, that's a cool idea!
We actually ended up leaving the 2ce's right where they are for the TV/blu ray stuff and traded in the 1C's on a used pair of mint Aerial 7 B's that fit the space well and sound fantastic. Problem solved - wallet emptied!
