have been using vk55: 55wpc for a pair of vandersteen 2ce Sig2 where have been recently told by another dealer that unless we hit 200W, one cannot really imagine what these speakers are capable of ..... he mentioned immensely higher 'headroom'
now looking at either upgrading to
1. a pair of vk55 monblocks 2. or just a vk75
Speakers wise, wld be looking at going up to vandersteen quatro...
Qn: Wld 02 x vk55 monoblocks really be too little for vandersteen 2ce Sig2 OR for that matter the quatro..
any advice from any vandersteen users wld be highly appreciated...
Audiowoman As a thought you could get casters that permit furniture movement on carpeted floors at Home Depot or Lowe's for less than $20. Place them under the four corners of your stands, this would allow you to slide the systems from one room to the next. I did this while following the Master Set set-up instructions under my 3A Signatures and it worked great. These also make it easy to move a stand out away from the wall to make component changes when needed. Hope this helps with your dilemma.
Thanks, Ig316B, that's a cool idea! We actually ended up leaving the 2ce's right where they are for the TV/blu ray stuff and traded in the 1C's on a used pair of mint Aerial 7 B's that fit the space well and sound fantastic. Problem solved - wallet emptied!
