Vandersteen 2C versus 2CI, 2CE, etc.

Tried searching the archives but didn't see exactly this question answered. I might be able to get a pair of Vandersteen 2C speakers for less than half of 2CE. I'd like to know if it's really worth it, though. I was able to find some specs for 2C and 2CE but I don't see any major differences from just that. I'm saving up for a more expensive pair of speakers but thought this might hold me over in the meantime. :) Thanks!

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!
