Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2

You are never going to get good imaging with two different pairs of speakers firing directly at you. Just a thought....

Have you heard the Moabs? 😉 @ozzy62 

I have 2CES, 2CE Sigs, and 3As. I prefer the 3As but between the 2s I don’t find an enormous difference.

Vandy 3A Signature is a special loudspeaker. To my ears, the next significant upgrade is the Kento.

Happy Listening!

The conclusion to this story is that I changed to plan B.  Plan A was bring the 2As  home and show to my wife (who is an amazing decorator) at which point she would probably reject them, but I would get at least a week of temporary listening.  Plan B was to show her what they look like before and score husband points, but with high risk of upfront rejection.  

Now I'm going to look for beat-up super-cheap 2 or 3 As to use in my basement where I am the sole decorator, but where I don't listen much.  When I find them I will also do some temporary main system listening.

@ddinnsen - Will be posting for sale here on Audiogon my very nice pair of 2ce Sig II speakers this weekend. Nothing wrong with them. Just bought new speakers yesterday.
