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.

At one time, I had both the 2ci and the 2ce signature.  I liked the 2ci better and kept them.

I am sure the new signature II sound much better than the 2ci speakers, but I had the original 2ce signatures, a totally different animal.  The metal dome tweeter was very offensive to my ears.  Also, I found the Vandersteen sound a little too polite for me.
