Anyone try a SUB THREE from Vandersteen yet?

Looks like Vandersteen.com finally put it on their site. Anyone order one yet? I would like to get an idea of how much better it is than the 2WQ. I have my eye on a used pair of 2WQs at the moment, but if the THREE is significantly better I may have to save up...

I am a big Vandersteen fan and their 2wq is a great sub.  The three looks great, but at $2495 per, I think there are better choices.  For the same price, you could get a pair of Rythmik F12 subs and an antimode 8033.  If you are technically inclined you could use a mini dsp, which allows nearly unlimited subwoofer tuning for multiple subs.

" I don't think any other sub can integrate as well as the Vandersteen from all I've researched. The DSP sounds cool, but since my main listening is analog, I do not want to digitize the signal. Vandy fits the bill in this regard. The extra dough is worth that benefit IMO."

I share your concerns about taking analog to digital to back, but keep in mind, it is only the bass below 100 hz that this conversion is happening and it is after your main speakers.  Were it before, I wouldn't ever suggest it, as I believe it would be very audible there.
