Old Vandersteen model 2 vs. newer model 2

@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.

Just out of curiosity, which brand and model of speakers did you buy?

Hello 2psyop! B&W 803 D3. 

Keep in mind that older speakers in general are more likely to need re-capping the crossovers, ferrofluid replaced in tweeters and driver surrounds re-foamed. Unless you do that yourself, it can be expensive and a nuisance.  I would buy the newest version possible myself, even if more expensive initially.

I have not heard those 803's but the two models I have heard coming out of B&W have sounded spectacular. One was a stand mount D model.
