" What amp are you using exactly with de capo's"

I bought (but did not used it yet - as my main speakers are extremely power hungry - so I wait until I will get my De Capo) Dennis Had's (formerly of Cary) single ended "807" amplifier.

I tried this amp with my speakers only once. I used the "softest" music I know - Pergolesi "Stabat Mater" with volume control at maximum position and sound appeared in the amount enough to enjoy it. Strangly, it was identical (for my ears, of course) to the sound of my system with my own two very powerful transistorSpectron monoblocks. I am not trying to say that our monoblocks sound as sweet as single ended tube amplifier (incidently other said so - see on-line owners reviuew) but I know what I heard too.

Interesting hobby we have?

You need 100-150hrs break in time at least.

Simon, please let us know your thoughts on the De Capo's once you've settled in with them for awhile. Congratulations.

Thanks to all for their kind advises. I bought a pair of new De Capo. Tash told tnat new design is even better then all older which received so many acolades.

Good used De Capos run around 900-1300 depending on finish and condition.

3rd Reference 3A De Capo's; don't own them myself, but several friends do, and they are a great match with Dennis Had products. I own Cary and I almost bid on that amp.

At $2500 the Sonist Concerto 2's aren't far from budget. 95 dB with a 8" woofer and Fountek ribbon.

Second on the de capos

Running them with a 4 wpc Decware mini torii and plenty loud in a 12 x 22 open room

Dimension of my listening room are: 10' x 15' x 8'
Thank you

The size of the listening room (including the ceiling height) is important info if you desire well informed suggestions.

I apologize for my spelling and many thanks for your advices

Zu Audio Tone or Omen Bookshelf ... large for a monitor but would work well with the Cary

Reference 3A de Capo's....just what the doctor ordered! No crossover, full-range main driver, efficient, easy load for a small SET amp, sound fantastic and hold their value in the long run. Please check your spelling....you are not actually looking for a "Goof bookslef" speaker are you?
