Just curious if anyone is using these, what their thoughts are.
Hopefully you have the bases that go with them as they are crucial for getting there placement right , once you set them up correctly that’s when the magic happens . Let us know when you have as the difference is huge and you’ll know it once there set up right .I've got the 2ce sigs playing as I type, they sound great to me. The sound stage is very good and I didn't play with placement yet, for the money I think it's hard to go wrong. The binding posts are a bit of a pain.
We’re they they the 2c or the Signatures?I guess I am the dissenter. I owned a pair of 2C's and just could not like them. I tried to, but they just didn't "do it" for me. I tried different amps, different placements, even different rooms, but I found the highs lacking the "sparkle" of my other speakers, and a lack of detail in the mids. They got passed on.
EDIT--BTW, I had the Sound Anchor stands that came with them when I bought them.

Ah ok , your right about the 2c being to laid back , that’s why I asked if it was the Signature or not because I have listened to the 2c and it was almost muddy sounding to my ears . The 2ce signatures however are a complete 180 and have that sparkle and air on top .They were just the 2C--not one of the later models. They didn't do anything horribly "wrong", but just weren't for me.

Yeah your other speakers definitely have a higher presentation on the upper end , I have heard a couple you have , the magnaplaners and the jbl’s and I will say that the 2ce Signatures have that sparkling airy top end, so may be more fitting for you , however the vandys have gone up a lot in price so finding a good deal is hard these days , a friend of mine is selling his 2ce Signatures though (for space reasons and him and his wife are expecting ) but he loves them and hates he has to let them go .Glad it wasn't just me. I had heard/read great things about them, but they don't turn up in my neck of the woods all that often, so when a pair turned up relatively locally at a reasonable (no score, but reasonable) price, I jumped on them. Sadly, I was a bit "underwhelmed". Also keep in mind, that the other speakers in my stable at the time were Infinity (EMIT tweeters), Klipsch (Ti diaphragm horn tweeters), Apogee (ribbon tweeters), Magnaplanar (ribbon tweeters) and JBL (Ti dome tweeters) which probably clouded my judgement a bit regarding the upper end.
