Vandersteen Model 3a Signature Oak w/ Sound Anchor Stands

Vandersteen Model 3A Signature version speakers in very good condition. They are a factory matched pair with sequential serial numbers (Nos. 5468A & 5469A). They come with the optional Sound Anchor stands also come with owner's manual.

The speakers function perfect and sound amazing. They produce a huge soundstage with exceptional balance from top to bottom. They are bi-wireable and accept spade lugs.

These speakers are extremely heavy and large and I do not have shipping cartons. I will only offer these for local pickup in Westchester County, New York; approximately 30 minutes North of New York City. Please do not bid or purchase them if you are unable to pick them up in person.

The Vanndersteen 3A Signature's are still a current model in the Vandersteen speaker lineup and the retail price is $4,495.
