Vandersteen Forum

I bought an older pair of Vandersteen 2Ce and did not like them. Found out one woofer was crackling (what I did not like was poor tweeter and midrange). I went onto the Vandersteen forum to see if changing a component or two would better the sound than 25 year old speakers. In 2022 almost anyones speakers sound better than 25 year old Vandersteen technology. 
The replies raised my eyebrows. I was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with that forum and did they find it cult-like or is it just me?

Restore them to their original condition and then decide.
Vandersteens need a lot of power, by the way. Very sensitive to room placement.

I've had 2CE, 3A and now have Model 5s which are breathtaking, according to most people. And me. 
I called Vandersteen with a question about replacing the batteries in my crossovers and I was told someone would call me back. About 45  minutes later, Richard Vandersteen called me. I was thrilled.

Vandersteen speakers have a sound. I love it. Some people don't. That's why they make different speakers. It's all good. 

Have fun!
