Thanks so much for all the input. These 2s were built in 1979-80, according to Richard Vandersteen. They have the 6-inch stands which are not adjustable.
All drivers are working correctly. For 99% of my albums, I love the sound though it is slightly tipped-up. One percent are unlistenable because of how recorded.
I have followed all recommendations for setup as per the owners manual, and also what Jim Smith recommends in his book Get Better Sound.
Bob, thank you for your kind offer of loaner cables. I might take you up on that.
I have been suspecting the Krell might be the culprit. I also have an NAD and a Denon I could switch out and listen...
I will check out TAPJ, and also contact Johnny R.
Funny, of all the systems I've owned since the 70s, probably the most musical was a PS Audio Elite integrated with Vandersteen 1Bs...
Thank each of you for taking the time to respond.
Will post more as things progress...
