I will chime in;
over the last 20 years, I have auditioned this series w/ both tubed and solid-state gear. Very consistent sound from these speakers.
If the OP is going for a vintage system, then the original 2C is fine. For a modern/contemporary system then the latest version is warranted because current electronic gear has come along way (better). As always cables/cords must be considered as well.
Happy Listening!
