Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature II


How good are these speakers? Would they work well in a 12' x 14' room using a 200W/channel solid state amp?

Yes they can be bi-amped or bi-wired. Vandersteen web site has some detailed discussion of those issues.
Give it or take there are no equal ears around there. Heard them (aiming to upgrade my 1Cs bunch of years ago) with 50Wpc tube amp and heard them with 200W/ch SS amp. In both cases they're too slow for rock and instrumental music I listen to. They also required to be standing on matching Sound Anchor stands which would make you to spend another $$couple. If you buy them used than most-probably the stands will be included.
I know you are asking about the "2" but the "1" could not breath in my 11 x 10 room. I understand my room is smaller than yours but the "2" is bigger than the "1" and you'd be well advised to try a stand-mount first. All I'm saying is be careful.
IMHO, perhaps the greates value in high end audio, they are fussy about room placement and your room might be a bit too tight.
