I would like to know the year that this model speaker stopped using foam surround. Is it 2002 ? My taste is for the early models but I do not want to deal with foam surrounds at all. Is the new vandersteen 2Ce model a differet sound than the models from 20 or thirty years ago? I am afraid it may be too different from the original that Richard Vandersteen designed years ago.
How to correctly hook up Vandersteen 2C speakers?
I want to purchase a used pair of Vandersteen 2C or 2Ce floor standing speakers. Is there another way to wire them without having to biamp the wires? It says it will take two pairs of wire for each speaker and they come with four terminals on the back. Is there a trick on this or does it ruin the beautiful sound that comes from these speakers? I will be using a Reference 200.2 B&K amplifier that is rated at 240WPC at 8 ohms. I can also use a recapped Hafler DH 220. Whatever sounds better and has the ability to handle these speakers. What should I do?
