Ref 3A Veena - Devore Gibbon 8 - Audiophysic Yara

Mira's are most likely way out of my budget(most of the speakers I listed are pretty much at the same price point new 3k), my room is not very wide 10 feet by about 21 feet long. Though on the right speaker I have another 8 feet or so open for the dining room area as you go up one step.

Thanks Sfar, for the info. Do you have a small or large room and what are you driving the Gibbons with?

My room is 11 x 17, though the listening area is realistically 11x14, and the speakers are approximately centered on the long wall.

I use two amp setups, depending on the season, a Simaudio I-5 integrated (solid state) and an AES Cary AE-25 triode tube amp with an AES-DJH Signature preamp. The tubes are for cool weather, most of the year here, and the Simaudio for the summer. Both rigs sound wonderful with the Gibbons.

It is generally accepted that the Reference 3a's were designed for tube amps . Contact the individual speaker companies and ask for their recommendation . That will give you an idea .
I have heard the Ref. 3a's on a SS amp (Cary w/tube buffer and a CJ tube pre) and on a Cayin tubed integrated . The tubed integrated was much better to me and a few other listeners . YMMV .

Good luck .

danger will robinson....only the veena is even possibly a step up....go to the spendor 8.
