The presence of two 6.5" woofers allows the VCC-2's coaxial-mounted driver to function as a midrange/tweeter combination, adding inner detail and nuance while simultaneously increasing low-frequency extension. This makes the VCC-2 a perfect companion for home theater systems built around Vandersteen's floor-standing three- and four-way speakers, including the Model 2 (all versions), Model 3 (all versions), and with the upgrade to the CT version, the Treo CT and Quatro Wood CT.

The Treo is essentially a passive version of the original Quatro Wood, sharing the same driver complement sans the powered-bass system. It, too, is offered in an array of wood finishes in a strikingly attractive form factor. But the Treo is also a modern take on the legendary Model 2, a paragon of cost-effective performance that's made in the USA, but in an elegant outer package. This product was upgraded to the CT version, so it is discontinued.

The Vandersteen Audio's full-range floorstanding 3-way featuring the patented carbon-fiber Perfect-Piston Carbon Tweeter, similar to its larger siblings, in a package that is the "little gem" of the entire speaker lineup. Designed from the beginning to rest close to the wall behind it while having an aesthetic that blends into many style interiors, this speaker is the answer for many non-audiophiles and musicians who want music in their homes without a dedicated space for listening. That said, if you have a listening space and are an audiophile, this speaker will keep up with your most demanding listening criteria. This is a great first Vandersteen and also a Vandersteen that will stay for a lifetime.

The Model 3A Signature is a classic Vandersteen in being an extreme-performance hot rod in a brown paper bag. Prior to the introduction of the Quatro in 2006, the Model 3A Signature alone bridged the Vandersteen line from the Model 2 to the Model 5. The Model 3A Signature is loaded with the quality parts typically found in cost-no-object designs. It's a big speaker that plays really big, and yet fully realizes all of the nuance, finesse and detailed musicality of a Vandersteen.

Timeless classics like the Model 2 have staying power because the designer stayed true to a vision. For the Model 2 that is sonic "dimensional purity." The price Shown Includes Stands.
