Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units?

Vandersteen claims to have sold 100,000+ units of their model 2xx speakers over 30 years.

Does any dispute this? To me it seems incredibly remarkable. That they have been able to continually refine this product and still keep it selling well AND somehome avoid "the latest thing" syndrome to me speaks volumes about product quality.

Am I missing something?

What they've accomplished seems better than any positive review.

Wouldn't they be the ones to beat in their price range?

Absolutely!
I have been a real believer for over 26 years.
Its nice to be able to purchase a refined form following function speaker performance product instead of a box. 

 I continue to place the latest Vandersteen 2CE Sig IIs and 3Asigs IIs with their Reflection free drivers up against anything, anywhere near or double their asking price.

What's to dispute? I’ve owned 2 pairs plus the 3A! Vandersteen was always bargain!

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.

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?
