Greetings Pete
Great question (((do the 1C's give me a good dose of the Vandersteen sound or are the 2CE sig II vastly superior sonic ally?)))
answer to both? is yes
As alway in life if you want the best you are up for a little challenge you can experience great performance without compromise. You can install the Vandersteen 2CE sigs and not have to worry about the bass.
Just take the Vandersteen 2WQ high pass install between pre and amp adjust it trying from the bottom switch setting and go up until the bass is to your preference.
