From my understanding Vandersteen recommends bi-wiring. The 2Ce receives the same treatment as the 3A: http://www.vandersteen.com/pages/Pdffiles/Model%203A.pdf
Try this experiment.
Welcome to the wonderful world of audiophilia!
The ability to try this will also depend on which period Model 2 he has. The newer Vandersteens have terminal-strip binding posts, but, older models have two pairs of 4mm female banana jacks.
Hi , I think u must have a set of these. i have the older model with the female inputs. Is there a special bridge i can buy? I am using these in my garage. Not critical listening!!! so i would rather not spend extra money on new cables. Thanks, Mike.
You don't have to Bi-Wire but if your choose not to, you DO have to use some sort of jumper plates/wires or else your signal will only go to half your drivers. It's not a high output thing, it's more a cross-over thing.
A pair of these are typically used for each speaker:

You simply strip enough insulation so that the wire is long enough to run through both posts.
