| Floor standing speakers under $1500.00 Peter,I think anybody looking for a floor stander under $1500 should be taking a serious look at the Ohm Walsh Micro Tall's. They have a tiny little footprint (6" x 6", I think). They have prodigious bass output especially for their size and a hug... | |
| Reference 3A line updated New, beryllium tweeters arrived via FedEx today! I will be posting once I've had a chance to install them. | |
| Reference 3A line updated Gosh I don't remember. It was 2.5 years ago. Sorry I can't be more helpful. | |
| Reference 3A Dulcets vs. Nola Boxer---Opinions? I use a pair of Manley Mahi tube mono blocks. I got them used on Audiogon. Yes, Reference 3A's like tubes and I think that Divergent Technologies (parent company of Ref 3A) imports some brand of tube gear, but that doesn't mean you need to use tha... | |
| Reference 3A Dulcets vs. Nola Boxer---Opinions? Nyaudio,Whatcha want to know? | |
| Reference 3A line updated Nyaudio,A pair of Manley Mahi's in triode mode... 20 watts/channel. More than enough power for the De Capo's. The Mahi's will also run in ultralinear mode at 40 watts/channel. You gain some slam in the bottom end, but lose some of that midrange ma... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Bryoncunningham,I think you are correct. A lot of this is a matter of maintaining a professional tone. Once it starts sounding like you're taking it personally, it goes downhill pretty quickly. | |
| Reference 3A line updated Hi,Well, I got word a couple of days ago that my new, Beryllium tweeters for my De Capo iA's have shipped! I'll report back when I've installed them. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Some manufacturers post on public forums and some don't. I don't think it's an indicator of a manufacturer's seriousness or integrity (or lack thereof). Bobby Palkovic of Merlin will often participate in conversations involving his speakers. If he... | |
| Reference 3a - old brochure + Reference 2008 Templetech,Call Tash Goka at Reference 3A. I bet he has access to that kind of info. | |
| How did "Oh Mercy" end up sounding so great? Tostadosunidos,This is the kind of thing I was curious about. I also wonder what Lanois did to achieve the kind of wide, soundstage "spread" that the record manifests... instruments seem to come from way beyond the outer limits of the speakers, an... | |
| Help me discover some new music... Gumbydammit,Great moniker, and thanks for the suggestions! | |
| Speakers for EL34 amp: $1,500 - $2,000 Seconding Grinnell, the Reference 3a De Capo's are a wonderful option. They love tubes... I'm running mine on little Manley Mahi monoblocks; I have a similar sized room to yours. I run the Mahi's in triode mode (20 w/ch) and I can't run them any l... | |
| Reference 3A line updated Yeah, Scott was kind of wishy-washy on the sound in the Ref 3A room, and I have to agree that the cosmetics of the Nextel finish aren't as nice as the veneers. Still, I'd like to hear the new line for myself. | |
| Reference 3A line updated Here's a report by Scott Hull of parttimeaudiophile.com on the Ref 3A room at THE Show in Las Vegas. Apparently, the BE tweeter was added to the line because the Murata super tweeter from the Grand Veena and Episode is no longer made. Interesting ... |
