Three-way, floor-standing, dynamic loudspeaker. The Model 2 is one of the defining classics of American high-end audio. The Model 2Ce is composed of a stack of separate cabinets. The largest holds an 8" woofer with polycone and a rear-facing 10" "Active Acoustic Coupler." The function of the latter appears to be to both to control the bass loading of the system and, below 45Hz, extend its bottom-end response. Sitting atop the bass enclosure is a separate, smaller cabinet holding the 4.5" midrange. This driver uses the same cone as the midrange driver in Vandersteen's more expensive Model 3, but not the same basket or magnetic structure. Another baffle on top of the midrange enclosure holds the 1" metal-dome tweeter. Specifications: Frequency response: 29Hz-29kHz ±3dB. Nominal impedance: 7 ohms (4 ohms minimum). Sensitivity: 88dB/W/m. |
