Is there a huge diff, between 2CE Sig II & 3A Sig?

((I think the 2s and 3s may have the very same tweeters and midrange and I would expect very little difference in the range covered by these drivers.))
I strongly disagree
The 2CE Sigs are one hell of a speaker and simply outperform any box type speaker design at the same or double the price and most folks with solid value equipment should stay put and enjoy the music... but
If you have the front end equipment the 3A Sigs are a significant improvement.
There internal volume,postured height advantage more expensive drivers longer throw 10" inch woofer,better 8"inch mid bass,improved crossover allows for an even better transition.
The 3A Sig will image higher have a deeper more uniform in room response can Cruz through the music in a evan more graceful way.
Of course if you did a side by side with both 2ce Sigs and 3 A Sigs next to each other or any other speaker for that matter both will suffer by not having the best in room position and an extra carcass of a speaker next to the speaker not allowing either to perform optimally.

John, the tweeter and midrange drivers are different? If so, I stand corrected.

Miketuason,

Give John a call and discuss your preferences on both setups. I can tell you first hand than John knows Vandersteens very well and will not mislead you in any way.

Unsound....Why are you getting so upset.... No one knows who you are, where you live, what kind of car you drive, if you're married or single, etc. You live in anonimity. The way I saw it is that you were giving very wrong advice - an indication that you don't know what you are talking about - to a guy who has a serious question. Your answer was flippant, and just plain wrong. These pages are a learning experience for all of us, and now we just learned additional unflattering values of Unsound.

Anonymous or not, your comment was directed at him and put him in a non-
flattering light. Perhaps his comment was too flippant as stated, but it seems
having experienced both speakers, he does not feel there is much sonic
difference between them - true, a subjective conclusion - at least not as great
as the price difference would suggest.

I do have a bit of a problem with the question as originally framed - OP asks
if the differences are HUGE - well in my opinion the 3A is better, but not
HUGELY so, and even less so when OP already has a subwoofer which goes a
long way to bring the 2s closer to the level of the 3. Are their differences to
be had? Sure. Is the overall quality better? Probably. But both speakers are
clearly the work of the same designer, and if the differences were huge that
would not be so apparent. Doesn't mean it is not worth upgrading to the 3A,
that was my preference too, and still a good value, but not the killer value
offered by the 2s. If OP is anywhere near New Jersey, he should go visit John
at Audio Connection - a good place to hear the differences and get good
advice.
