Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i

So Rebbe di your De Capos come with the new acoustic lens on the mid/woofer? I found a photo of it and its like cascading rings coming to a point. its suppose to disperse the sounds more.

Grinnell,
Yes, mine have the acoustic lens. Have a look at my system photos to see it. Yes, Reference 3a (which did not create the technology but licenses it) says that it improves dispersion and eliminates any air vortexes in the speaker cone. Your description is pretty accurate. It looks kind of like a very fat drill bit, except that the rings are separate and not spiraled.

Nice looking system Rebbi. I bet that sounds great.

Shakeydeal,
Thanks. Happier with my system now than I've ever been. But yeah, I'm loving the De Capo's. They "disappear" more completely than any other speakers I've ever had. And that's with a listening room that's still pretty compromised. Now I want to work on the room and get the stupid, unexplained ground hum out of my turntable front end. (Ugh!)

I will say it again: the more the De Capo's break in, the more they surprise me with how good they are. :-D

Want to hear more about your GV's!

Rebbi,

The Grand Veenas are extremely good. My friends and I agree that they might be the best that any of us has owned. Very articulate and refined, but musically involving at the same time. They are everything you have heard.

I updated my system pics, although not very good. I am no photographer.
