upgrade Vandersteen speakers
Audioconnection is right, I went from 2ci to 2ce,and now 2CE Signature II. The sig II is unbelievable, it's a night and day different. Also here's what Richard Vandersteen said from one of his tech Q and A "Answer: HELLO MIKE, THAT ANSWER WAS COMP... 
Vandersteen 2ce Sig II
I just moved my Vandersteen 2CE Sig II from 8ohm tap to 4ohm tap of my McIntosh MC2100, the bass got tighter and sounded better. I'm going to leave it at 4ohm since the Vadersteen manuals says, 7ohm nominal and 4ohm minimum. 
Any Jazz Performances on Blu Ray?

Vandersteen 2ce questions
I own the 2CE sig II and you guys are right, set up and positioning is very critical with the Vandy 2's. 1/2 inch movement (tilt and toe-in) make a huge different. After six months of trial and error, I finally got it to where I think I nailed the...

Vandersteen 2ce Sig II
Curtis, I have the Vandersteen 2CE Signature II. My speakers are 6 feet apart, I have the tilt dialed in as per Audioconnections instruction but, the toes is the only thing I have to do. Thanks. 
Vandersteen 2ce Sig II

McIntosh C220
