Years ago a shop near me carried Vandersteens, and while they were okay, I never regarded them as anything special-these were the 1b's and 2's. I carried this assumption with me for over 20 years.
Well, today, after hearing the newest versions of both of these, I can honestly say I had no idea they were so good.
I was totally blown away by their sound. Very coherent, top to bottom cohesivness, good tonality, and just plain fun.
And the fact that you get that type of sound for so little money boggles the mind. My friend commented that they make many speakers seem very overpriced.
Well, it was certainly a wake up call for me--to quit assuming that I know so much about audio.
I can't see how you could go wrong going up the Vandersteen ladder. Can't wait to hear the 3's....
I'm a believer!
