Need help from Vandy 3A owners.....

Hi folks,
I need your help. A friend of mine is trying to determine the approximate age of his Vandersteen 3As. The shop he recently purchased them from described them as being around 2-3 years old. However, in a recent call to Vandersteen, Richard Vandersteen *estimated* them to be ~ 6-7 years old based on the serial number. However, he answered in his classic gruff, go away, manner so I have some concern about the accuracy of his answer.

Here's where I need your help! If any owners of Vandy 3As (non Sigs) know the serial number AND age of their speakers, I'd love to know. It would give me and my friend a way to "bracket" the age of his speakers. The concern, of course, is whether or not the shop that sold him the speakers misrepresented them.

Thank you very much!

I know Mr. V can be a bit abrupt, but as others have said, his word is probably the most accurate.
There is another Vandy dealer on Agon, Johnny R.- Audioconnection, who knows a lot about Vandersteen. He has always been a good guy to contact for information.

Mine are less than a year old, and the number is in the 16,000s.  I got em' from Johnny Rutan; he is indeed the best.

Guys, we are all friends with Johnny, lol.  Got the Treo's I"m selling from him. I really want to upgrade to the Quatro's.  Need to sell the Treo's first, but I'm ready.
