Does everyone want to make a $100k+ speaker these days?

Call Richard Vandersteen and ask him. I've talked to him about upgrades and he's very helpful.

Good suggestion JBT. I spoke with Richard when I was setting up the VCC-1's for the first time. Amazing he is so accessible!

I am going to spend some time with the 2Ce sigs Friday on my way home. Time to get serious about upgrades...

There is a Vandersteen dealer in Milwaukee. Ultra Fidelis. Bob and John are awesome with customer service. They almost always have a pair of 5A Carbons on the floor.
A big +1, these guys are awesome!

Like Vandersteen speakers. Never owned a pair. Find them to be very musical and well priced.

Nothing fancy, just a very musical transducer.

I read somewhere that the Model 2's in their various forms have sold over 200,000 pairs! 36 years of excellence indeed!
