Increase price for Vandersteens


Hi,

I see the price of the Vandersteen 2 and 3 models went up recently.

I know Vandersteen does updates/refinements to his speakers and does not always advertise the changes.

Im curious if updates are responsible for the price increase?

Thanks

One neat design feature on the 2sig2s are that they release the lower bass out the back through the ten in woofer
and mid bass in the front out of an eight, this allows a nice firm even handed in room bass response.
Since bass is the foundation to the music Vandersteen followed up with another set of excellent drivers and is now using the Patented open back reflection free 4 1/2 inch mid and tweeter from the Vandersteen 5As
This pushes this speaker from great value to great period.

""all drivers responding at the same time, in one direction. While I get the nice ambient effect that might be achieved by a rear firing driver, seems like firing drivers in different directions might affect time coherence.""

Hey Bruce the 10 and 8 driver are in phase shooting in the same direction as each other. >()()>
Could it be you weren't thinking outside of the box?
