FYI Vandersteen owners/lover:
Vandersteen was one of the first in the industry to start using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) Computer Analyzer, originally developed for aerospace industry
Cost cutting in cabinets while making audible performance top priority
Careful selection of materials for all drivers, critical damping in all areas in drivers and cabinets
Patented "reflection-free" midrange drivers, although this is probably only used in model 3A and up....
All crossovers are hand soldered and tested to make sure there's less than 0.1dB deviation to the reference
Drivers are matched to within 0.1dB tolerance
Crossovers are hand tweaked and speakers measured in anechoic chamber to make sure they perform as well as the reference
Baffles are as small as possible to reduce/eliminate diffraction => improves imaging
FFT is employed to find optimal size, shape and thickness of different parts of the enclosure
+++ probably much more that I don't know about.....
