Is there a huge diff, between 2CE Sig II & 3A Sig?


I have a Vandersteen 2CE Sig II now and thinking about upgrading to 3A Sig. Don't get me wrong I love my 2 Sig II and my velodyne sub blends really well with my 2 CE Sig II. I'm using two McIntosh MC-2100 one for each speaker. What difference will I notice with the 3A Sig? Thanks.

((I think the 2s and 3s may have the very same tweeters and midrange and I would expect very little difference in the range covered by these drivers.))
I strongly disagree
The 2CE Sigs are one hell of a speaker and simply outperform any box type speaker design at the same or double the price and most folks with solid value equipment should stay put and enjoy the music... but
If you have the front end equipment the 3A Sigs are a significant improvement.
There internal volume,postured height advantage more expensive drivers longer throw 10" inch woofer,better 8"inch mid bass,improved crossover allows for an even better transition.
The 3A Sig will image higher have a deeper more uniform in room response can Cruz through the music in a evan more graceful way.
Of course if you did a side by side with both 2ce Sigs and 3 A Sigs next to each other or any other speaker for that matter both will suffer by not having the best in room position and an extra carcass of a speaker next to the speaker not allowing either to perform optimally.
