Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?


I have seen several ads on both AG and Ebay for a "variety" of Vandersteen 2CE's  

Question: Is:the "latest version:"of the model worth its  $2700 price tag  considering the evolution of this design over the last 10 to 12 years

Vandersteen's website shares a few paragraphs about the upgrades made; but, has their really been notable or marked improvements in sound quality and overall performance?.

The amount of 2CE's for sale regardless of what version seems unusual,and even cautionary for buyers looking at a used pair ( taking into consideration age and condition)

Lastly, does this model compete with the performance of other speakers in its price range??

  Thank you, S.J.

If you're ever in the Louisville, KY area I have a pair for sale locally, cheap. I loved them in the store, however, I didn't do proper research and realized when I got them home that my room was not conducive to proper placement, and, was never able to get them to perform anywhere near as close as in the store.

Are you a dealer, an authorized one?  If so, how about some disclosure!? Oh, and this is a forum.....sales is over yonder.

 Thanks.....

Agreed, but tell that to Audio Doctor in NJ, lol...sorry, couldn’t resist. I agree though. Dealers need to disclose and also not sell. Nice of Rutan to offer to help even though he isn’t selling the guy anything.

Kharp, call Johnny and get those things set up correctly before letting them go. You will lose money if you have to resell and if you liked them in teh store, they should actually sound as good or better in your home. Did you use your own electronics in the store or something else?
