Need help from Vandy 3A owners.....

Hi folks,
I need your help. A friend of mine is trying to determine the approximate age of his Vandersteen 3As. The shop he recently purchased them from described them as being around 2-3 years old. However, in a recent call to Vandersteen, Richard Vandersteen *estimated* them to be ~ 6-7 years old based on the serial number. However, he answered in his classic gruff, go away, manner so I have some concern about the accuracy of his answer.

Here's where I need your help! If any owners of Vandy 3As (non Sigs) know the serial number AND age of their speakers, I'd love to know. It would give me and my friend a way to "bracket" the age of his speakers. The concern, of course, is whether or not the shop that sold him the speakers misrepresented them.

Thank you very much!

If Richard told you the age based on the info you gave him, he's most probably correct.  Richard's gruff to some, but honest as the day is long.  He has no need to lie and it's just not in his DNA.  

I don't understand the problem as Richard's answer is the worst case scenario.  Was it a Vandy dealer who told you they were 3 years old?  If you want to send me the serial number I'll check into if for you.

Guys, we are all friends with Johnny, lol.  Got the Treo's I"m selling from him. I really want to upgrade to the Quatro's.  Need to sell the Treo's first, but I'm ready.
