I have a pair of 20 (!) year old 2c's, and will never part with them. They sound fantastic with my high end system, as well as with my old stuff (adcom/basis1400). Don't think you can improve much on them.
Von Schweikert VR2's and Revel vs Vandersteen 2c
I've spent some time listening to various speakers to go in our new, larger, listening room (23x18 withopen ceiling to 2nd floor). Out of the one's auditioned The Vandersteen 2ce sounded the "best" to my ears compared to the others (Monitor Audio silver6, B&W 603, Totem Sttaf, Thiel 1.6). The other two speakers I'd like to hear but can't due to no dealer in the area are the Revel Concerta F12 and Von Schweikert Vr2.
For those that have heard them, how does the sound compare to the Vandersteens? Are there some others in the <$2000 range new/used that I should listen to? My only concern with the Vandies is the full length "sock" which could be an issue with our two cats so I'd like an alternative that is close soundwise. I've got some flexibility as far as placement, seating distance goes but they will definitely be placed along the 23 ft wall.
