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?

OP.

With your last rant, what was your intention? Head off global hunger, promote world peace, further humanity, or what???

You seem to have a severe case of "little man syndrome."

Taking haymaker swings at forum members here will get you nowhere. 

Every second 10,000 sine waves are arriving to your ear That is 29,979, 245, 800,000 nanometers in a vacuum If one of the speakers is one inch farther away at 10,000 hz do u realize how ignorant it is to try to put those two signals in-phase?

 

Something geoffkait would say right?

Just buy the 2CE Sig III and be done with it. Enjoy the sound. The Vandersteen speaker brand and 2CE model would not around for decades if it were not for the fact they are well designed and sound very good even in 2022.

I guess one could argue they are a better speaker engineer than Richard and replace his woofer with a Bose woofer and not ever hear the difference?

The OP likes his B&W speakers, so leave him alone.

We tried to help him, but he had other ideas which are fine and dandy. As Sir Vandicream said to you, as well. 

 

I just don't get the reason for the issue here.

 

Yes, they are your speakers, and you are free to do as you wish to them. But, to go on a forum for that brand and expect others to agree with your desire to 'modify' them, and then lash out against them when they disagree, seems a bit strange.
