Vandersteen Quatro speaker - link to info

The 2Wqs have three 8" drivers each.

"Sdcampbell (My IDOL)":

Just checked the link out just now, and what all I want to know now is:

(01). When is Richard Vandersteen going to start shipping them????

(02). How much are they going to cost????

(03). Are you thinking about getting a pair for yourself????

I'll be happy just to get my a pair of 2Ce's sometime in my lifetime. What do you think about the 2Ce??? I don't never hear you talk about them all that much. With the living quarters that I have now, they are my most favorite speaker in the whole line. Now, when I finally get bigger quarters, I'll start looking seriously at the 3A Signatures then.

1. Should be shipping to dealers this month (March 2004)
2. They will cost approximatley $6,500

Now hearing mid to late April.

I'm a bit upset this speaker seems to be nothing more than a scaled down (size) version of 3Asigs + 2wq's.

You lose two 8" base drivers and gain room correction. Sure its a compact package but I was honestly hoping this speaker would bridge the performance gap between 5's and 3Asigs+subs. A gap which I consider to be rather large. With Richard suggesting Bsal should just add subs to his 3Asigs this leads me to believe there is no performance increase with the Quatro outside of the compact package.

The jury is still out so who knows! I still want to hear them of course.
