Vandersteen Model 2c Review

Foreword / YouTube Video Review

These speakers were loaned to me by their owner. This specific model - the Model 2c - was produced from 1980-1989 according to the manufacturer. They are certainly used but appear to be in good working condition and the data I am providing here does follow design characteristics of data published for other Vandersteen “2” Models. There are no signs of abuse. Through the grille cloth I can see the drivers and there are no signs of surround rot or exposure to the elements. Rather, what I see is just expected wear from a speaker that is over 30 years old at this point. Therefore, I feel confident that the speaker is a properly functioning sample.

Klipsch Forte IV Review

Foreword / YouTube Video Review

Note: These speakers were loaned to me by a viewer in brand new in box condition. Multi-tone stimulus was played through these speakers for about 3 days’ time before listening/testing (not that I personally think it is needed but to calm anyone’s concerns about “break in”).

Klipsch Heresy IV Review (Redux!)

Foreword / YouTube Video Review

Note 1: I reviewed this speaker approximately a year ago using quasi-anechoic methods. I am re-reviewing the speaker with Klippel’s Near Field Scanner and have removed my old review as to not cause any confusion between the new and “old” dataset. However, the old data was within acceptable error and would be suitable to use if not for the new data’s higher resolution and accuracy.
