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.

What aspects of sound reproduction and speaker performance are most important to you?
jackd, good catch as I acquainted with the Alta-Audio line. They look interesting. I will read some of their reviews. What do you know about them?
soix, important to me:
1. PRaT
2. Tone and timbral resolution
3. Tonal balance
4. Bass weight and extension enough to not require a sub.

These are not in an order of importance.
