'''Inflation? What inflation?'''

In 2009 I bought a set of model 2 for $400 from someone with a leaky apartment, and in 2011 I had the choice of $1100 for high quality used or $900 for a set with minor, repairable crossover issues. Now, a set of 2c are $650, and 3a signatures are $1600 in good condition.

'''Low end models feature same high end engineering'''

99% of what you get in the Vandersteen Model 3a signature which is $7000 new and $1000-$2000 used you get in the lower end models like the 2c.

'''These are always for sale.'''

Anytime you to go ebay.com or audiogon.com , someone is selling a set of these.

'''Subwoofer? Why?'''

These are down about 1 dB at 30 hz. That’s insane. Most likely, the subwoofer you have with your soundbar or home theater produces less bass than these.

The extension along with a small cabinet does come at a price - you’re not going to 120 dB with a lot of low end with these. But, for most music and even movies at reasonable volumes in average sized spaces, you’ll get the full range experience without feeling like you’re missing out.
