Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
ieales,Since you have now claimed to have blown holes in all of Vandersteen's theories in subwoofer design, what would you suggest to be correct???? 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
I believe that speakers like the 1ci's, 2ce sig. II's are what really keep Vandersteen in business. But like all designers (and RV is no exception) like to see what they can accomplish with no price constraints. That dream, that pursuit, of what c...

Vandersteen VLR Wood ..any love for these?
drumsgreg,When I bought my Treo Ct's a few years ago, RV told me a pair of those carbon tweeters were $1400 per pair. At the time, he was making those tweeters himself, by hand. Said he could make one pair a day. Also consider that the VLR cabinet... 
JBL L200 Studio Masters
Generally, anyone who does restoration anything has a bit of a pawn shop mentality. I'm not saying this is wrong, but he wants your  speakers only if the price is right to him. You would be amazed at what he would charge someone for those speakers...
