go where after vandersteen 2ce


i bout a pr of technics sb-cr77 3 way at a yard sale. just out of curiosity i hooked them up vs my 2ce's, and in many ways they sounded better. they were louder, the hghs were clearer, the base was deeper in most music. i couldnt believe my ears. my wife listened and she said it sounded like the vandy's were on mute or diff volume or something was covering them. i do have sound comming out of the tweeter- so the speaker seems to be working fine I've never had a prob with them. cj is the power. im just dumfounded. in my mind the vandies are out. heeelllpp!!

chadnliz, if nothing appears to be sonically wrong with the vandys, can something still be wrong? just curious. dont know much about speakers. thanks bryon84. i did open up the box and the box was emty(about 20 lbs)and the wires going to the ind. speakers were about the size of yo yo string, so i wonder if i put insulation in them and good speaker wire in them how much better they would sound. the rock( radio) did sound a little hollow. but classical was almost identical(stravinsky). gerswin(sorry if i butchered the names) was much better in the technics.
right now i am using mf2100, do i do another 2100 or up to a 2500 move on? along with the cable( i asume speaker cable). i put the potentiometers to 3 only slight diff.thanks for all input bryon 84
im not sure what aq wires are? right now my interconnects are cardas crosslink, and gemini supercable for speakers. the vandys are bi wired. i have thought about changing speaker wire. any one know what ss amps(watts) work best(a bassy amp but not sloppy,my wife says i need a sub) with the 2ce, right now i got 100w the rec no more than 125w.
thanks too all bryon
