upgrade Vandersteen speakers

In 2011 I upgraded from the Vandersteen 1986 2C to the newer 2ce sig2's. The difference was a big ear opener!
The Sig 2's are not bright. Much more transparent than the earlier 26 year old 2C's.

"THE CURRENT MODEL 2CE SIG II WILL BLOW AWAY AN OLD MODEL 3, AND THE CURRENT MODEL 3A SIG WILL BLOW AWAY A CURRENT 2CE"

I get his point, I think, but seems like strange language from a serious audio maker. sort of juvenile.

IME, Richard Vandersteen has always seemed to be a straight shooter, but saying; things I currently sell are better than things I no longer sell, and things I currently sell for more are better than what I currently sell for less, is cause for pause.;-)

Still is...

What part of this dont you understand ?
Its simple
The current Vandersteen 2CE sig2 with the latest Five A mid range and tweeter etc sells for 2395 now in 2012...
A model 3 from 1992 sold for 2395 its the same price and
20 years later progress marches on.
We have em both here old and new...

I understand just fine, I just suggest that whenever anyone hears anyone selling with that line, they pause and consider all the potential motives that might be in play (including the sincere ones).
