Reference 3a - old brochure + Reference 2008

I have just bought a pair of Reference 3a speakers, called Reference 2008 and it is accompanied by a brochure, giving details of 7 models current at about mid nineties. If you would like me to share the information I am happy to do so. Speakers listed are MC, Studio, Aura, Andante, Crystal, Baccarat, Ref 2008. These Reference 2008 are out of this world for clarity, musicality and so far I am extremely impressed. I have listened to some high end speakers (B&W 801, 802, Proac's etc.) and from my limited perspective so far Reference 3a stands in another league altogether. I believe these were expensive (using 2 Equiphase planar speakers, very fancy ribbons?? and some nice drivers plus a super tweeter). I would like more information on them.
Thanks, Jaap

Hi, I have the Reference 3a Master Control MMC speakers that are from the early/mid 1990s and I too think they sound awesome. Do you think I could get a scan of these old brochures?
Thanks

Hi, I just bought a pair of Reference 3a serie master v1 and to my dismay they have been modified. Some one changed the caps and resistors on the tweeter. I need to take them back to stock. Does anyone here know what value the caps and resistors on the tweeter are? If not does anyone know someone with a pair of these who could check their pair and answer me. The components in question are just inside the speaker terminal on the back.

Templetech,

Call Tash Goka at Reference 3A. I bet he has access to that kind of info.
