it was the only pair of 2's the dealer had, I had asked to hear the sig II's, but I am not comfortable saying it was the II's and not the I's. The II's actually had a fuller bass, not as accurate, but fuller sounding.
Post's like mine really don't mean that much though, Vandy's are funny, I had heard 3a sigs several times and they sounded pretty average or worse. (Same with the 2CE sigs, heard them sound like crap and heard them sound VERY good with a NAD integrated!)I decided to check into them further after hearing Quatro's set up properly. They were stunning. I already had Ayre and Audioquest and that seems to be a great match. My 3a's sound quite a bit different then other set ups I've heard. But I like them a lot.It's true what others here have said, move them a 1/2 inch and it can make a huge difference, a fact I really like. I bet if you get the 2sigII's and spent some time getting them set up with decent electronics/cables, you'll be a very happy puppy and forget all about 3's pretty quickly. The magazines always say, set them up and enjoy the music, and you forget the audiophile stuff, I didn't understand that fully until I had lived with these for a while. It's true. Best of luck to ya....
