Well, I finally got off my butt and made the 120 mile drive down to a Vandersteen dealer and spent about an hour and a half comparing the 2ce sigII's to the 3A sigs. The 3's obviously had a bigger bass, larger image and seemed mellower, more "laid back", which I would normally prefer. But, to tell the truth, the smaller speaker had a better focus and was a bit more lively and seemed to have a tighter bass. Of course, there are so many factors involved.. I'm not sure the placement for the 3's was the best possible, although we did move them and tighthened things up, but, in the end, not enough. Also, I heard the 2's first, and maybe some listener fatigue played a part too by the time I got to the 3's. I just didn't want to have to hope that I would eventually appreciate the 3's, and was a bit concerned about my room size for them (14'X17') so I sprung for the 2's (and saved a large bit of change in the bargain).
