Vandersteen 2ce

After going through umpteen speakers in the sub $2000 category I understand why Vandersteen is the top selling audiophile speaker. I bought a pair of Vandersteen 2ce's for $430. Best speaker I've ever owned by far. You guys were right about they sound great with any amp. I like them better with the Harman Kardon HK4390 than my much more expensive Vectuer Club Six. I'm sure 120 vs 60 watts has a lot to do with that. It will be very hard to pull me away from the Vandersteen lineup from here on out.

One listen to a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Sig2s in the dark will disable your confusion.

When I was ready to give up on my speaker search, it was the 2CE sigs that first caught my attention.

It's difficult to find a better speaker at this price.

Additionally, the 2CE performs well with a wide variety of amplifiers.

Can't go wrong with the Two series. Doesn't matter what model two series you have, pretty much amplifiers friendly, I've use amp from 50wpc to 300wpc and the Vandersteen just keeps performing its best.

I've owned Vandys from 2CI, to 2CE Sig. II, which I'm using now and driving them with my two vintage (1970) McIntosh MC2100 that is set to use as mono block at 210watts per amp.

My only issue with these is their size...and that fact that with most Vandys (except 5's and up) you can't take the covers off to look at things...I know that sounds lame but I like to poke around speakers, tighten the speaker bolts, take the drivers out and look at 'em. I do think Vandys are brilliant...at least the ones I've heard, including the 1Bs I used to own and all the 2s I've ever heard. Small baffles for the higher frequency drivers...subs or transmission lines...GREAT speakers.
