Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?

I have seen several ads on both AG and Ebay for a "variety" of Vandersteen 2CE's  

Question: Is:the "latest version:"of the model worth its  $2700 price tag  considering the evolution of this design over the last 10 to 12 years

Vandersteen's website shares a few paragraphs about the upgrades made; but, has their really been notable or marked improvements in sound quality and overall performance?.

The amount of 2CE's for sale regardless of what version seems unusual,and even cautionary for buyers looking at a used pair ( taking into consideration age and condition)

Lastly, does this model compete with the performance of other speakers in its price range??

  Thank you, S.J.

What information do you have on the new Vandy sub? My next piece of audio gear will likely be a 2wq, so if they have something better on the way I may hold up.
Thanks!

Thanks for the update on the new sub! Just so we are clear, the same basic drivers and design are the same as before, but the real difference is with the adjustable EQ, correct?

You mention that the 2wq is now discontinued, does that mean there will be discount on the remaining stock?
or is remaining stock going to be converted to sub 3s?
Just trying to gauge on how hard it will be to get a new 2wq sometime over the next 4-5 months.

Thanks!
