KLH Kendall Speakers vs Vandersteen 2CE Sigs

Hello all. I am curious into this comparison as I recently met Dave Kelley at World Wide Stereo in Philadelphia and listened to a pair of KLH Kendall speakers. It was suggested that their soundstage was similar to or even better than that of the Vandersteens. I have been looking to get a pair of Vandersteen 2CE's but was not sure if I was going to buy the prior signature one model used or a new Signature II model. I would like to get your thoughts on these two speakers since finding a dealer that carries both will be almost impossible. I listen to primarily classical and jazz.

I know Rutan would also give you a 60day trial of the 2's if you are a serious buyer.  Just have to ask for it.  Rutan would invite you in with the KLH boxes to compare.

That could be arranged. Not a bad idea.

Makes the most sense I would think.  Give him a call.

Tomic601- thank you!
OP- Like Tomic said, I am getting amazing sound out of my 2Cs. Love them. They respond extremely well to meticulous setup, room treatment, and the suggestions in Jim Smith's book Get Better Sound and Johnny Rutan of AudioConnection.

Rutan delivered and set up my Quatro's.  I fought him on the placement, but over time got used to it.  They sound incredible for sure.
