If they are in good working condition and you expect to use them as an interim I'd say go for it. Be careful though as the Vandersteen sound is seductively smooth. You can always move up to the newer version when ready.
Vandersteen 2C versus 2CI, 2CE, etc.
Tried searching the archives but didn't see exactly this question answered. I might be able to get a pair of Vandersteen 2C speakers for less than half of 2CE. I'd like to know if it's really worth it, though. I was able to find some specs for 2C and 2CE but I don't see any major differences from just that. I'm saving up for a more expensive pair of speakers but thought this might hold me over in the meantime. :) Thanks!
