Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale?

I have seen several ads on both AG and Ebay for a "variety" of Vandersteen 2CE's  

Question: Is:the "latest version:"of the model worth its  $2700 price tag  considering the evolution of this design over the last 10 to 12 years

Vandersteen's website shares a few paragraphs about the upgrades made; but, has their really been notable or marked improvements in sound quality and overall performance?.

The amount of 2CE's for sale regardless of what version seems unusual,and even cautionary for buyers looking at a used pair ( taking into consideration age and condition)

Lastly, does this model compete with the performance of other speakers in its price range??

  Thank you, S.J.

TO  PS; 

DO YOU GET SOME KIND OF SADISTIC PLEASURE  TAUNTING MEMBERS? . SHOULD IT REALLY MATTER TO YOU HOW MANY THREADS I SUBMIT SEARCHING FOR A  SPEAKER UPGRADE??  I DID NOT KNOW YOU HAD BEEN ROYALLY APPOINTED BY AUDIOGON AS THE GATEKEEPER OF THREADS.

IF YOU THINK SENDING LINKS OF SPEAKERS THAT ARE OVERWEIGHT AND OVERPRICED, I DON'T FIND IT HELPFUL OR HUMOROUS .....GROW UP

sunnyjim sorry to hear of your injury !!!! hope you get a speedy and full recovery!,,,,

small pair of Magneplanar might be easy to move and provide a very musical package, they will also ship a few models direct as i recall...

in a bookshelf i love both the small Kef, the Vandersteen VLR and Sonus Faber for musicality...
