Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's

Can you get Carbon speaker Drivers with this new Model 2ce signature III 's ?.
  
I would buy a pair right now if I could get Carbon speaker Drivers with these new speakers!.

I had talked to Richard Vandersteen about this and he said the cabinets of the model 2 were not inert enough, that is, not controlling vibrations as well as the more expensive models (Treo Ct., Quattro Ct Wood, etc.} which would impede the performance capabilities  of the carbon drivers. Specifically the carbon tweeter. He also said it would make the model 2 excessively expensive, which is not one of the goals of the model 2.

I bet a Belles Aria Integrated would be a nice combo for the new Model 2. They certainly work with the VLR's.
Now that would be a very price conservative combo.

Anybody play Classical music though these ?

I've heard they do better on rock .How much are  the new ones ?

Guys, if a speaker is good, it will sound good on anything.  I asked Ricahrd about this some months ago as I too have always felt this way.  He totally agreed.  

The one nice thing is that they are a full range speaker.  That's most important IMHO for classical music.  You will never get fatigued and they don't smear (like the other Vandy's that don't smear).  

No one who's posting has ever heard the new ones that we are discussing.  That said, there are a ton of classical music lovers who own a pair of 2's.  Time and phase alignment makes a huge difference.
