VANDERSTEEN model 2CE Signature...or ...SNELL Type D ?

@rocky1313 

Hey Rocky, did you end up keeping the Snell Type D?  I have a pair of Vandy 2ce sig II in my room right now and have been comparing them to my Type D.  Man it is a tough decision.  I like the Vandy imaging but they seem a bit 'dry' for lack of a better term.  They also need to be played pretty loud do open up. 

Did you ever figure out what you liked better about the Snells?

Thanks 

Thank you all for your opinions....The verdict:
I am keeping the SNELLS.
There is just something about them that I like better.

The Type D where my first "audiophile" speaker years ago.  Still have them and they are in regular rotation.  For what I paid, probably the best purchase I have made yet.  Haven't heard the 2ce in my room but from what I remember they are a bit softer sounding than the Type D.  Finally got around to bi-amping them recently and it was a revelation.  Like a whole new speaker but in a good way! 

+2 for the Snell.  Consider this, you will get more $ for the Vandys when you sell.  Take the money and get a good amp with built in crossover to bi-amp the Snells. 

+1 for Snell!

Vandersteen for the win!

I owned the 2CE signature for years ( their first sig) and loved them, but when I moved on to other speakers, I realized there was much better out there.  I will be in the minority but I would keep the Snell. 

In the right room; it’s Vandy’s for me. And the Vandy’s work great with McCormack.
