My loyal Vandersteen 2Ci's will turn 20 years old in a couple months. They work perfectly still and sound excellent. I will replace them when I NEED to, not before. But if I detect any deterioration of driver surrounds in the future, I would consider that a need.
I am inclined to replace them with their current iteration, which I think is the 2Ce II (Signature?). On the principle of continuing to dance wit da one dat brought me. Any alternatives you would suggest? I do want full-range; and the main thing I want to avoid is anything too bright/harsh/glaring.
(I do use a subwoofer with the 2Ci's, to add a bit of slam to the lowest registers)
