The black finish subwoofer is in very nice cosmetic shape with some light touch ups, that are visible on close inspection. It works perfectly and sounds great.
Included in the sale is the original Vandersteen crossover, a second pair of Vandersteen balanced crossovers, speaker cables, and the original adjustable feet.
The 2Wq is located in Door County WI, South of Fish Creek. I am happy to discuss meeting in a safe place, most likely a police station, if you are outside of Door County. I will be traveling in Milwaukee the weekend of January 10th if that helps with a meet up.
Terms: Cash only. Sale is: As is. You are welcome to a pre purchase demo of the sub at my location.
Price $975.
Thank you.
From Vandersteen:
Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer use three active eight-inch drivers rather than a single large woofer. The three eight inch drivers equal the cone area of a fourteen-inch woofer, but with much higher motor-to-cone-area ratio. The high ratio improves pitch definition and insures stable frequency and phase responses throughout and beyond the drivers’ operating range. This allows more crossover design flexibility since a steep-slope, high-order crossover is not necessary when the drivers perform well several octaves past the crossover frequency.
The drivers are downward firing in a front slot-loaded configuration to provide superb bass detail, impact and dynamics while minimizing any potential midrange interference.
Each of the drivers uses a heavy duty 1 1/2 inch, four-layer voice coil engineered to withstand high temperatures. Each voice coil is within a massive 40 oz, high gauss magnet structure for increased control and efficiency. Critically damped, long fiber cones with environmentally stable butyl rubber surrounds are used for excellent rigidity and linearity.
The drivers are connected to a built-in 300-watt amplifier with advanced feed-forward error correction. This powerful amplifier provides the benefits of bi-amplification to the system without the additional expense and complexity of an additional separate amplifier.
