Reference 3A MM De Capo vs Legacy Calibre

I am starting the process of putting together a new system. An important design goal is the speakers will be stand mounts. I have heard the De Capo's but not the Calibre's. I am most interested in others opinions on monitor/stand mounted speakers. I am attending RMAF in two weeks and hope to check out ideas while there.

My budget could go as high as 12K for the Reference 3a Reflector.Yet, the less expensive monitors may be good enough.

Please share your ideas and impressions.

I'd also recommend listening to the Joseph Audio Pulsars if they're at RMAF.  Great all-around monitor that pulls off an incredible disappearing act with outstanding soundstage and overall coherence.

Yes, Joseph Audio has a demonstration room at the RMAF.I will stop in to check them out.

In the last ten years I have had two speakers in my system the the four way horns and  Lowther Opus One with PM4A drivers. I want / need to listen to several different speakers. All of your ideas are helpful and refreshing.
