Just buy the 2CE Sig III and be done with it. Enjoy the sound. The Vandersteen speaker brand and 2CE model would not around for decades if it were not for the fact they are well designed and sound very good even in 2022. I guess one could argue t... 
Full range speaker recommendation
The best stand mount speakers I have heard are Wilson Audio Duette. You get incredible sound with these. If you combine these with subwoofers.... I can't imagine the sound. Interestingly there is a listing on Audiogon for a used pair. Other than ... 
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Another interesting observation to note. Some companies are designing and building audio products in China that are as good or better than made in other countries. I have a Line Magnetic tube integrated amp that sounds amazing and I would like to ... 
Do audiophiles creat the high prices we complain about.
noske If I wanted a sports car (which I really don't but this is for comparison purposes only) I would buy a new or used Corvette. There are Lambos and Ferraris and very nice and expensive sports cars but I think the Vette is a classic and also b...

What are the sound qualities are are looking for/ What do the ATC's lack? Are you wanting stand mount or floor standing speakers? Keeping the REL subs? Do they integrate well for you... enough to use with the newer speakers?

"In 2022 almost anyones speakers sound better than 25 year old Vandersteen technology." I guess I should have known we might be dealing with a bulb that is not the brightest on the Christmas tree.

Yuri Honing Trio- "Walking on the Moon"  
The review wehave been promising is up
My two cents... Usually when a salesman tries a pitch it irritates me. Even if he educates about a product or service it still irritates me. When the salesman continues and continues to try to sell his product X and (as others have indicated) tha... 
How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD
Glad you found a good sub that works. The Descent looks like a killer sub.

Speaker design and opinions about speakers (sound quality) vary greatly. To say the least. What you like or don't like about the used 2CE may be that you don't care for the sound, you didn't have them set up properly, they were damaged , they didn... 
Changes to older system
I replaced a sold state preamp with a tube preamp and it really made a huge difference (Parasound P3 to Schiit Audio Freya Plus) The bass and soundstage opened up and the sound is more organic. Whatever tube amp you decide upon (if you do) make su... 
Old CDs and records
In 1987 I bought my first CD player and CD's in Germany. In 1990 I sold my Thorens TD320 turntable and got rid of about 90 albums. I thought record albums were DONE. Do I wish I had the Thorens and albums back? yep.
