Vandersteen 2CI and 2CE difference?

Anybody know what the difference is between the 2CI and 2CE? the Vandersteen web site only lists info on teh 2CE.
probably just age?
thanks,
jb

Beware, however, that there are some 2Ce's with the same 3/4" tweeter. Check the serial number with Vandersteen. He didn't have the 1" on hand for a while and substituted the 3/4". How do I know? I had a pair of the 2Ce with the 3/4" tweeter back in the early 90's. other than that, they are pretty much the same.

I don't know if anything else was upgraded but I remember that people weren't happy with the sound of the tweeter.

Definately some improvements in drivers and the input bananas were replaced with a barrier strip that takes small spades.
