@patresi -
Funny - I just bought a pair of CS2.2s. Was only able to listen briefly, but in my room/system they were very good - airy and relaxed sounding. Need to wait for the pins and speaker cable from the prior owner; but I like what I heard so far. That said, they won't replace my main speakers (Monitor Audio GX300s) but I'm glad I have them.
I used to work in a store that sold Vandersteen and the store owner loved them - I've never warmed up to them. I can hear what people talk about with them, but they leave me flat. Go figure.
