Hi patrickdowns, being a long time critic of Vandersteens it doesn't surprise me that making the treble more accurate bothers many. Every time I listened to the older version they sounded similar to whatever I had IF you tossed a thick towel over the tweeters. Don't be bothered by the detractors, nor me. Beauty is in the ear of the listener! If your happy, it's perfect! Personally I am glad to hear that he is making them more accurate. I have always wanted to like Vandersteens, and perhaps I now would. That's me though, it's you who needs to be happy with them, don't worry about the rest of us!

Steve gives them an excellent rating. Nice shout-out to John Rutan at AudioConnection. His reviews are quirky, and I know not everyone is a fan of him but since I own these speakers and love them, I love the review! 😎
