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.

Are you a dealer, an authorized one?  If so, how about some disclosure!? Oh, and this is a forum.....sales is over yonder.

 Thanks.....

@ctsooner ,  good one indeed.  Agreed,  Senor Rutan has a passion for this hobby that transcends his bottom line sales even.  Very rare in this day and age.
I don’t mind if other dealers contribute as long as it’s clear they’re dealers and not just popping in to sell something....like Sunny.  He’s about as much of a Vandersteen dealer as I am.

How have you been?  PM me when you can.  Someone we know is too shy to contact you.  Take care, David

@gdnrbob, totally agree.  I’ve also benefited from his advice...when I listened that is.  Bought a few things from him as well.  Will again. He’s one of the good guys for sure.

Enjoying your Bifrost MB you sold me.  Take care, David

As far as I know, Music Direct sells at retail unless it’s an open box or demo.  There are a couple of more dealers like MD out there.  Just can’t recall their names at this moment.  No offense at all to your experience in Cleveland, I’m sure it went well for you and that’s all that matters!  However, based on my brief experience with the dealer, it doesn’t take much for him to feel “slighted”.

I totally agree with ctsooner.  Besides, this affords a great opportunity for potential customers to get introduced to Vandersteen’s models from 3A down.

Regards.......
