Increase price for Vandersteens

Their lower end models have always been great value

One neat design feature on the 2sig2s are that they release the lower bass out the back through the ten in woofer
and mid bass in the front out of an eight, this allows a nice firm even handed in room bass response.
Since bass is the foundation to the music Vandersteen followed up with another set of excellent drivers and is now using the Patented open back reflection free 4 1/2 inch mid and tweeter from the Vandersteen 5As
This pushes this speaker from great value to great period.

Thanks Johnny. You really have all the Vandy's set up properly. it's appreciated by all of us who shop at your store. Too many who have shops don't set stuff up properly for some reason. I was blown away by how clean and detailed the Vandy line is now. Totally different from what I felt it used to be years ago. I'm LOVING my Treo's.

Johnny R ... if the new Vandies release bass out the back, how do they maintain time coherence?

I thought time coherency is the hallmark feature of Vandies ... all drivers responding at the same time, in one direction. While I get the nice ambient effect that might be achieved by a rear firing driver, seems like firing drivers in different directions might affect time coherence.

I'm so enamored with the importance of time coherence now, I just dropped a boodle on a DEQX PreMATE to improve the time coherency of my speakers.

Just askin'

Hey Bruce the 10 and 8 driver are in phase shooting in the same direction as each other. >()()>
Could it be you weren't thinking outside of the box?
