Another Vandersteen model 2 question

Sorry by keep asking questions and seeking for guidance. I just purchased a pair of 2Ci speakers. I asked Richard about the vintage and he kindly responded by telling me they are about 30 years old. I was half of my age back then and my respect doubled. Really like the sound. Now I'm thinking I must be missing so much between back then and the current new 2Ce models. I can afford them and my wife also likes the warmth and the incredible balance. The amp I'm using is my Vincent SP-331 (not the MK). Cables are run of the mill generic 12awg and bi-wired.

Thank you.

Mr. V constantly upgrades his speakers as time passes, so even the same model can have different parts/sound. 
So, getting a more recent edition will give you slightly better reproduction than an older model. It will be noticeable but not earth-shattering.
I would recommend adding a 2w or 2wq sub (a pair is better) and keep the 2's you now own. The best part is you can still use them if you do want to upgrade.
