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

Johnny R ... if the new Vandies release bass out the back, how do they maintain time coherence?

I thought time coherency is the hallmark feature of Vandies ... 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.

I'm so enamored with the importance of time coherence now, I just dropped a boodle on a DEQX PreMATE to improve the time coherency of my speakers.

Just askin'

Thanks Johnny R for the clarification. Problem is that I think inside the box. :(

As you know by now, I am a believer in speaker time coherence and the basic design objective of Vandy speakers. However, as we previously discussed, many rigs are plagued by crummy rooms. I sadly admit that my basement/sound room rings the Crummy Bell.

Fortunately, the DEQX PreMATE "tamed" the worst aspects of my room and brought a measure of time coherency to my speakers: better but not perfect.

Regards,

Bruce
