Vandy 2 signature upgrade question

Hi, It would be cheaper to buy a used pair of model 3's than to pay for a upgrade (if available)for the model 2's. I picked up a pair on ebay for less than $750(less shiping) and they look and sound like new. I still have my model 2's and I can definatly tell the difference between them. Then you can always upgrade the model 3's if you want. I've even seen model 3 sigs on ebay & a-gon for decent prices.

I don't know if it is still on the Vandersteen website or not, but the info that was PREVIOUSLY posted as regards the ability to upgrade from 2Ce to 2Ce Signatures was"

"MUST Be ABOVE Serial Number 77,000 for Upgrade to 2CE Signature - $350"

They have to be 2Ce's. I know my 2Ce's are even too old. There was a cut off in the serial numbers of 2Ce's for the upgrade. It used to list the info on their web site. It is gone so I assume that they don't do the update now. You will have to make a call to your dealer to find out. I wouldn't call the factory!

While I am not an authority on this, you really should call Vandersteen to verify, the entire model 2 series is NOT upgradable. I had 2Ci's for about ten years and never came across any upgrade information. The Vandersteen website says nothing about it either. I aksed Richard Vandersteen about this a few years ago and I beleive his reasoning was economics, a $1300 speaker can't have that built into it, whereas the $2500 model 3 could (of course the 3A Sig is now $3500!).

Hello, go to the Vandy site and you'll find the answer.
