Vandy 2Ce Signature Vs. Vandy 2Ce


Has anyone done comparisons between Vandersteen 2Ce speakers (which I have) and the Vandersteen 2Ce Signature speakers which are Stereophile B rated ?

quick personal experience to share,had both of them and the sigs were much better for the highs and mids,lows was about the same if you consider an upgrade it would be money well spent,now I own alon II and for the same money used(900) I find them more revealing and dynamics but the vandies seemed to have a little more efficient bass with proper placement.

the cabinets has nothing to do with efficiency,like the alon II no frame helps sound correctness except that the alon actually needs a little more power because of the sealed boxed woofer,regular 3's have the same design except bigger woofer enclosure.
stereophile reviewer preferred the 2ce sigs over the basic 3,apparently the 3's had more bass presence but the overall presentation was found better for the 2 sigs.
used to run them with a 50watts high current audioprism tube amp and it performed really great especially at the price range.
do a search for the stereophile review don't know the issue number.
aloha! to both.
