Vandersteen 2WQ vs 2W

Thanks for the responses.

I will use it for audio. I don't have my system setup for HT. I didn't realize the 2W was for HT - I thought the V2W was the only one specifically made for HT (with the passive radiator). In that case - I will look for the 2WQ on Audiogon. Any other good sites for used equipment besides Ebay?

I am looking for a sub that will match well with my MMG's. A lot of people on Audiogon and Audioasylum forums recommend a Vandersteen or REL sub with Maggies. I am leaning toward the Vandersteen since the REL subs seem to cost much more. I am currently using a JBL (PSW D112 - 12 inch woofer with 250 watts) sub, but it seems like a better sub for HT than for music.

I will have to disagree this time with my good friend Bigtee. The 2W is not an HT sub (that's the V2W) and it has an low-intermediate Q, which IMO is pretty damn good and can't be beat at the price.

You are correct Mr. Swampwalker. I was thinking V2W when writing about the 2w which was totally incorrect. The 2w is an excellent sub with a "Q" of about .7 or so. I think(step in at anytime) that Mr.V did offer an upgrade to 2Wq status at some point didn't he? Anyway, I stand corrected and agree totally, they ARE damn good subs.
