Thanks very much for all of your responses. I'm going to talk to Richard. If he can give a ballpark estimate based on the symptoms that isn't insanely high, I think I'd like to go that route. Yes, I love Vandy's! I'm a second generation Vandy fan... my own system is 3a sigs (rebuilt) with a vcc-1 center and 1c's for rears. Raised on them. Can't let go. Plus these 2c's have the sentimental value of being the first speakers I fell in love with at an age of 12-ish.
Fixing Vandersteen 2c's?
My father has handed down his old 2C(maybe Ce)'s to me. They are shot to sh**. I'm guessing that the woofers and tweeters are possibly blown. The only Vandersteen dealer near me is 2 hours away. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an economical way to fix these up. Do I need to use genuine Vandersteen replacement components? Or, is there another, more accessible, brand that is compatible? The shipping to Vandersteen in California would probably eat up half of the money I'm willing to spend here. Thanks.
