Vandersteen 2w or 2wq's

Just off the phone with Mr. Vandersteen...
His recommendation-buy Quattro CT's. (He noted that my current room size was on the small size, and the Quattro's would offer better optimization).
Since I just bought the 3a sigs, I don't think it is going to happen.

Regarding the subwoofers, he recommended the 2wq's over the 2w's, as the latter were long in the tooth. And, if I went with the 2wq's that I buy a pair, not a single, and preferably a pair of similar vintage.
But, ultimately he said the Quattro CT's would be the best way to go.

RE: Audioconnection-
I did read through the owners manual, as well as the FAQ and just needed information that I did not find.
Actually, this telephone conversation was rather nice. Though I can't believe he can actually take the time and respond to all those questions.

If you are reading this Mr. Vandersteen, a well deserved 'Thank You'

I know a fellow audiophile in Mpls , MN who is selling a pair of the 2wq . He is the original owner and from what i seen they were in great condition . He is asking $1500 for the pair . Send me a private message if you would like his info .

As you mentioned having a smaller listening room (your post about a telecon with RV) I suggest spending lots of time/effort properly  positioning the 3A Sigs for best overall balance and leave it @ that.

Even in a large room the V subs rarely come into play, when mated with the 3A and/or 3A Sigs, with most music.

I also spent an afternoon auditioning the original 5's, when they first came out, and felt that the above held up as well (for that model as compared to the 3A Sigs + V subs).
