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

Thanks gents, as for preamp processor, temporarily I just bought the Integra DHC 40.2 and it works really well with the McIntosh/Vandersteen, and as for cd/DVD/and SACD player I have the Oppo bdp 95. I use my speaker for both Stereo/multichannel and home theater purposes. Also, I like to ask if the 3A Sig. is worth $2500 more than my 2CE Sig II?

If you have a choice, which would you get, a 6 years old 3A Sig. or a 2 years old 2CE Sig II?

Well, as I have learned recently, I've asked Richard Vandersteen if they made any changes on the 2CE Sig II since they started the production, and he said "absolutely" but didn't change the model name and this goes the same for for the 3A Sig. So, what he was saying is that the older 2CE Sig II is not the same as the 2CE Sig II NOW. I just thought I share this info with you.

A friend just spoke to Jason from Vandersteen and this is what he said "Yes, the 2Ce sig 2 has a new mid range driver. The woven composite cone of the Quarto Wood.

The tweeter is from the model 5. So, it's just the mid-range driver that's changed. Jason also mentioned that the speaker is also

more efficient, they can play louder. Vandersteen wanted to consolated the number of drivers in their growing inventory. Also,

Jason mentioned that they were not sure the new midrange driver would work but were able to use the same crossover with minor mods."

The upgrade on the 2CE Sig II only happens with in the last Month, unfortunately I didn't make it, but you're right the audible change would be way less less huge.

It has been 6 years now since the last post and I still have my 2CE Sig II
