Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?


I have seen several ads on both AG and Ebay for a "variety" of Vandersteen 2CE's  

Question: Is:the "latest version:"of the model worth its  $2700 price tag  considering the evolution of this design over the last 10 to 12 years

Vandersteen's website shares a few paragraphs about the upgrades made; but, has their really been notable or marked improvements in sound quality and overall performance?.

The amount of 2CE's for sale regardless of what version seems unusual,and even cautionary for buyers looking at a used pair ( taking into consideration age and condition)

Lastly, does this model compete with the performance of other speakers in its price range??

  Thank you, S.J.

Tonic likes chasing the cat when it’s let out of the bag.  If you ask anyone of us who own the bassEQ, I would bet that 100% would tel you how worth it it is. I’m really looking forward to hearing it with a pair of Quatros lol. 

I WANT TO THANK ALL MEMBERS WHO RESPONDED WITH SUCH GENEROUS COMMENTS AND ADVICE.

UNFORTUNATELY, I FELL AND BROKE MY SHOULDER TWO WEEKS AGO  SO I MAY HAVE TO CONSIDER A SMALLER AND LIGHTER SPEAKER  NOW, I CAN ONLY PUSH  A LOAF OF BREAD FROM TE COUNTER TO THE TOASTER.

HOWEVER, I AM GOING TO LAUNCH A  NEW THREAD ABOUT A SPEAKER CALLED THE LARSEN 6.2 AND HOPE TO GET SOME FEEDBACK ABOUT   THEIR PERFORMANCE   THE REVIEWS I HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN GENERALLY VERY GOOD.


THANK YOU AGAIN,

S.J.
