The Model 3A Signature and Model 1Ci had a cleaner signal path. The external barrier strip connection now connects directly to a re-designed circuit board with upgraded components. By implementing this architecture, the result proved to be the best Model 2 to date.The results are improved ...
This would be a Model2Ci. Etc. Serial numbers are not necessarily sequential but are always paired. Note that all model designations had approximately yearly upgrades internally that are neither identified nor archived.Model 1 Series:-Model 1B’s have a serial number but no letter, in ...
Vandersteen's Model Two loudspeaker was introduced in 1977 and in one form or another has remained a bestseller since then. Along with KEF's R105, also launched in 1977, the Vandersteen Model Two was one of the first loudspeakers to feature minimum-area, carefully profiled baffles, optimizing...

In one sense, Richard Vandersteen has been the victim of his own success. His Model 2 loudspeaker (footnote 1), introduced at the 1977 Consumer Electronics Show, put his company on the map but proved a hard product to improve on.
still has the minimal-profile basket that Richard Vandersteen pioneered but now has a woven carbon-fiber cone rather than the original's polypropylene cone. Instead of the earlier Quatro Wood tweeter's alloy dome, the Wood CT's tweeter uses the carbon-fiber dome from Vandersteen's Model 5A ...
