Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units?

Now this is incredibly remarkable. 70 years

http://www.klipsch.com/blog/tag/klipschorn/

Heresy - 59 years
Cornwall - 57 years
La Scala - 53 years

And I guess we can't forget the Bose 901 - 48 years

Sorry, don't have units sold, but I'd bet the ranch the Heresy exceeds 100,000 by an extreme margin.

And then there's the Quad 57.

The 2C was my entry purchase into this crazy sport back in '87, and I still think they are great speakers for the money.  I later owned the Quatro's, and felt the same about them.  Vandersteen makes great "all arounders", and they play music.

100,000 "units" - - I wonder, is that individual speakers? or pairs?

The Vandy 2's came out in the early 80's, if I remember correctly. They were my Grail speaker for decades. So, yes, it is possible they made 100K units(which I think means each speaker, not pair) or 50K pairs.
That they are still around after all this time shows how well made they are. I remember the Klipsch from my college days- they were pretty big then. A fellow dorm-mate had the Bose, which I liked-but, after graduating from college, it was plain to see that Richard Vandersteen had truly slayed the dragons- and at an unbelievably low cost.

Yes! this series has been around since the late 70's.
Happy Listening!
