Integrated for Vandersteen 2ce sigII

  The Sig 2s are money well spent and share not one common part that's in original 30 year old 2s.
 For 350 you did fine but more like 35% of whats capable in the current Sig 2. Check out the new Belles Aria integrated at 1995 it outperforms the above and then some perhaps then later a pair of 2CE Sigs.

JohnnyR thank you for chiming in on this thread. Many people praise Your knowledge when it comes to Vandersteens and the associated equipment that work best with them so I appreciate the time you took to point out my inaccuracies regarding the older vandys.
  My reasoning for purchasing them was i figured I could at least get a sense of what the vandys would sound like in my room with my current equipment. If all is well my intention was to purchase the newest version Vandersteens. 
  Update:  got the older vandys set up and all was good the first night, however the the next night I went to listen and my left channel was half the volume of the right channel. Reversed the cables to check if it was the speakers but the problem was consistent with the other speaker. Just to make sure I reconnected my Paradigms and sure enough something happened to my left channel. Any idea what happened and how to go about fixing it?

((((Any idea what happened and how to go about fixing it?)))

  You have to locate where in your electronics its coming from
 start with swapping rca wires at your CD player and then your pre amp,then amp etc
 make sure you have no splices or any wires shorting together.
 then check out simple things like Balance control intermittent switches on pre amp etc.
 swap in or try another back up amp. 

I swapped out the amp and everything worked fine. I started the process switching cables,swapping out speakers,checked cables and yes even balance controls. 

Rogue Audio, outperforms ARC integrated amps, for the record.
