go where after vandersteen 2ce


i bout a pr of technics sb-cr77 3 way at a yard sale. just out of curiosity i hooked them up vs my 2ce's, and in many ways they sounded better. they were louder, the hghs were clearer, the base was deeper in most music. i couldnt believe my ears. my wife listened and she said it sounded like the vandy's were on mute or diff volume or something was covering them. i do have sound comming out of the tweeter- so the speaker seems to be working fine I've never had a prob with them. cj is the power. im just dumfounded. in my mind the vandies are out. heeelllpp!!

Wow I am a big vandy fan when I had the 2ce I found the 2wq sub made a big difference on the lowes and highs. I aggree with Jallen up above make sure they are set up right. Other speaker will be brighter and more boomey some people like that but the traid off is they hury your ears if you listen all day and they hide detail. It's like looking at tv's at the local best buy you see them all on the wall and the one with the most pushed colors and contrast looks best. But at waht cost. It depends if you are looking for accuacry or brightness. Vandersteen is a little onthe laid back side but every detail of the music comes through.
Bryon84,My friend drives his with a McCormick DNA-1.Not sure about the AQ suggestion.Think a "fast" cable might be helpful (silver??),
i had that similar experience with my vanderstein 3a's they sounded nice but when i purchased the jbl 250ti, the speakers walked all over the vandersteins, both imaging, power handling and dynamics...that was my experience. but for the technics to sound better...thats weird, perhaps you should check your amps, maybe they dont have the power. how much power does the cj put out?
