Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's


I can't wait to hear them. I've been hearing about them for a while now and have been told that they are THAT good compared to the model they supersede.  The price only went up $100 which is typical Vandersteen.  I'm still amazed that they can offer this much value in this speaker.  I tried to find the thread on this, but wasn't able to.  I'm not the best at searching for things, but hope this thread suffices.

Richard just won't talk about his upgrades unless asked about them. He's just a modest guy who loves to talk audio.  When he finds special caps for instance, he won't talk about implementing them, but will just do it.  

Personally, I own Ayre too and Ryan is the same way.  I think it's why they are so successful for so long with the same models.  You can hear the differences though, no doubt.  

Jim, I have the whole upstairs of the townhouse for you to stay at.  Live on a lake as you know, so the views off the back room are not shabby.  Nothing like your fishing charter at sea, but hey, water views are still water views, lol.  That would be a ton of fun. We will visit Johnny too.  He'd LOVE that.  I bet we could get a bunch of guys to meet us there too.  I will get Matt Clott there (new TAS reviewer and an uber close friend as you know) too.
Not yet, but if you know someone who wants mine with the built in crossover for Vandersteen Quatro on up, let me know.  I can't post exactly what they did, but let's say the x over they installed was with their premium components and sounds as transparent as the 7 series one.  

I will be upgrading to the M5's soonish as they will install an analog volume control in my sever/DAC. Not sure if I have posted that or not.  
@tomic601 , @ctsooner , 
If you guys ever arrange a meet up, let me know. It would be fun to finally put a face to the tag- though I know yours, Peter.

Don’t worry Bob, you were part of my thoughts as I know you are on the island lol.
