Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's

You will love them I bet.  The components on that board that are new will take these to another level. Folks just don't realize how great capacitors can make such a difference.  There are better and better ones made yearly and Richard knows what he wants and makes an upgrade like this.  Heck, he is using the mid range from my Quatro's in the 2's and we all know what a difference that makes.  

I'm really excited to hear this one as you can mate it to the Hegel all in one or one of the NAD units or even a Rotel and have a great system for not too much money (high end standards).  It's a great time to be into high end audio even if you can't afford 5k plus speakers.

+1 "take these to another level" @ctsooner . I was gobsmacked by the HUGE difference in SQ when I went from the 2C to the 2Ce Sig II. I could not believe it was the same speaker with updates. The 2C sounded really good, the Sig II sound wonderful. I have no doubt the III will be an amazing improvement. Wish I could afford them...:(

Absolutely. I have first-hand experience with this as I replaced *all* parts in my Thiel CS2.4 SE except the drivers and cabinets. Heck, I even heard a small but meaningful difference among woofer *shunt* caps identical other than voltage rating (and, therefore, film thickness). I have no doubt this is the best model 2 ever and hope to hear one sooner than later.

AMEN !

Has anyone actually heard the new ones yet
