Just want to chime in. 4 years ago I used ti live two mile from Richard Vandersteen in Hanford, CA and after talking to him several times, I ended up buying the 2CE Sig II Until now I still have the Sig II driven by my MC 601s and I couldn't ask for anything better at least for now.

I am very happy with the 2CE Sigs...The 3A's are physically too large. I do like the Treo's for size and price, but maybe later....

Fun day today at Ultra Fidelis. I stopped in to pick up the stands for my 2CeSig II's. They had a pair of new 2CeSig II hooked up.....To $84,0000 of gear and cables!
So, no reason to let that go to waste. I spent a couple of hours enjoying them. SME table $17,000 Atlas Cartridge $9500 Audioquest cables $24000 ARC Ref 5 SE $13000 ARC Phono $11,995 ARC Ref 75 $9000 and The Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II's $2395 + $175 for stands... I doubt I will ever hear them fronted by so much quality gear. I have two impressions from this. 1. They sounded fantastic! It is really great to experience perhaps the best performance from a piece of gear. 2. My home system is really close in sound quality for a small fraction of this systems cost. I am very pleased! Big thanks to Jon for his consistently wonderful hospitality! |

They have always been generous with their time. It is a comfortable place with great gear.

I have had the 2CE Sig II's for about two years now. I love the musical sound they make to my ears. Here are the speakers they bested,.. over a six month listening session. Paradigm, B&W, Totem, Magnepan, Focal, Snell, Def Tech, Klipsch, Rega, Martin Logan, KEF. I would say the Magnepan 1.7 came in a close second, but really need the bass panel to go deep.
If I could get the 5As, it would be a no-brainer for me. Ha ha Last edited by psyopwak; 10-30-2013 at 09:43 PM. Reason: add txt |
