Checking the amp specs, arc welder! If bridged it could put out 600w/channel-8ohms! My Owners Manual for my 2Ci's has 2 pages of Power Handling info that always seemed very conservative, but max recommended power is 160w@8ohlms. It talks about the voice coils need to cool between loud passages...a graph shows like 2 mins at full 160w draw. The horse has left the barn but best use caution with those 3A's too!
End of life for Vandersteen IICe?
Hey guys, I have a pair of Vandersteen 2Ce’s that were blown out by a house sitter. To the best of my diagnosing ability, multiple drivers are blown and the crossovers are toast. They are cosmetically in extremely good condition. They’ve been replaced by a pair of Vandersteen 3A’s. Any advice on what I can do with them short of taking them to the landfill?? I cringe at the idea of doing that but I’m getting pretty tired of seeing them sitting around. I’d be happy if a hobbyist was willing to pay the shipping to work on them (which I am not interested in doing). I have the original boxes.
Also have the factory stands which I suppose are pretty marketable.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
