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

Rogue Pharaoh integrated has HT bypass. 
Tube integrated
Would you consider a hybrid, or does it have to be all tubes? 
What do you think of your Soundsmith Cartridge
I own a Soundsmith Boheme. It is the smoothest most natural sounding cartridge I ever owned. 
Flooring advice on basement listening room.
