as far as i can tell from the andra-3 specs the improvement would be found in the use of a pair of new carbon-fiber midranges.
they should be faster and more transparent than the morel drivers in the andra-one and A-2. BUT at the same time, the andra-3 cabinets imho do not look like the same amount of money and effort went into them. the andra-one cabinets had TWO INCH THICK PANELS of italian granite bracing the sides of the midrange and tweeter column. if that is considered to no longer be an advantage in controlling resonances, then i would like to know what the new cabinets have to offer (other than an "updated look").
as for the low frequencies and the tweeter, from my perspective the A-3 doesn't (seem to) offer anything new. no doubt the crossover is probably re-worked to accommodate the behaviour/frequency response of the new midrange drivers. BUT OF COURSE if anyone reading these forums would weigh in on the performance, good or bad, of the Andra-3's, i would be most grateful. until then i guess we must wait (again) for stereophile to review a pair.
