I have brought back this old thread and my daughter who was just being born is now 3! I now have the Beveridge 2sw speakers and I really enjoy them. I was wondering if anyone could comment on the differences between this speaker and the original model 2. I realize that the 2sw has more volume and bass. I remember hearing in the past people saying the original model 2 was even better than the later 2sw. Has anyone made the comparison? Bob
