Are the Maggie’s 1.6 or 1.7s?
Congratulations on the vandys. Do you have the bases for them? It’s very important you get the tilt correct in relation to your seating position. They also need very little toe in. You can go on vandersteens website go under 2ce signatures and you can find the chart that will show you how to set them up correctly. Yours may be older but will still apply to yours. I’ve owned the 2ce signature ii’s and now own 3a Signatures , vandys are excellent speakers and even better when setup correctly. One more thing , the more clean watts you give them the better they respond, they love power . Audiofreak71
Unfortunately, one of the woofers seems to have an issue....It’s only noticeable when loud and when there’s lots of bass.
Is it a rattle or a broken connection? One of the leads from the woofer coil to the post may have an intermittent break which can sound like a rattle when it cuts out. One way to tell is to use a continuity tester and manually move the cone. If the tone stops and starts then you will have to find the break because it will only get worse. Depending on the location the break may be repairable with MG Chemicals 8331 Silver Conductive Epoxy Adhesive. Usually the death rattle means you need a replacement woofer.Or it could be loose screws somewhere.
... , or the surround might be unglued in a small area (how to fix that?).
Concerning the "CE" version, the version designation is in the serial number stamped on the plate. CE will follow the numbers if CE version. Prior version has C stamped at end of numbers.
make sure the screws on the bases are tight underneath. I had a pair with the same problem
Tommy,Pull both woofers and send them up State to Mr. Bill LeGall and get them done better than new. He Da Master !PS; Still hunting for my Multimeter ......
