The pricing (sub $1k) referred earlier is for 3A, which was in production ’95-’01. A used pair of a 3A Signature (in production after ’01) I have seen is around $1500 with the stand. Compared to how crazy the new one charges, it is a no brainer IF you like the sound, i.e., laidback/relaxed mid/treble and powerful bass IF well controlled. However, if you like more articulated high with more focused image, think twice. These speakers including 2Ce do like big juice though to reveal the potential of its bass based on what I have auditioned before. Richard also suggests that in an email.
Fair price for used Vandersteen 3a Signatures
Curius if anyone has an opinion on what a pair of excellent condition Vandersteen 3a Signatures should run? The 3a Signatures have had some price hikes over th years while retaining the same branding/labeling. Different from the model 2's which seem to have a branding update to signify component upgrades and pricing increases.
Thanks
