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?

If your speaker is broken, send it back to Vandersteen to fix it.   Even though its an older model, it will produce very musical sounds.  The Vandersteen website can be intimidating....many on that site have systems that approach a million dollars.  Richard will talk to you for advice and help restore your speaker to new aural delights.  Call him.

Richard responded to the OP’s questions on the forum. 

As far as the forum members, which I am one, being intimidating, nothing could be further from the truth, but we do believe in keeping our Vandy’s original, and setting up and using as designed.

And no, I don’t believe there is any member that has a million dollar system, including Richard. Heck, not even @tomic601  😁

Hey bkeske.....you seem a bit touchy.....if you have a system on which you have spent 2 dollars ....you are approaching a million dollar system.  If you actually read what I wrote it was complimentary to the Vandersteen brand.

No, I’m the opposite of ‘touchy’. I tried the best I could to help @geworthomd on the Vandy forum. Others did as well.
