The amplifier on my vintage Vandersteen 2W is dead, sigh. Love the sub but can't justify the cost of replacing the amp on this old unit.
(Stupid?) Question: Can anybody think of a good way to use the 2W as a passive subwoofer? I guess I was hoping to wring a little more life out of it by somehow bypassing the blown internal amplifier, using it as a stand alone sub. I realize it would never work exactly as RV intended, I'm just having a hard time placing it into the landfill. I guess I'm nostalgic about my old, ever aging gear.
@gdnrbob...Johnny Rutan...what an ACE! God, I relish for the days when you could find competent people, that know how to banter and are 100% confident in their advice. Thank you! Would love to belly up on barstools with that dude! For the record, I'm sending the plate amp in to Vandersteen. Wow!
See? I wouldn't steer you wrong! Johnny is one of the best, (and, I have been at this since the 80's), I know you are in good hands. And, Jim (Tomic601) is right up there with him.😁 Bob
