dear lord, i need help...

I love my Reference 3A MM DeCapos. I stole them here on AudiogoN for $1000 for a perfect pair. I couldn't be happier. They replaced a more expensive speaker (from Muzikat's list!) and are better in every respect.

Plus, the DeCapos have one huge advantage over most other monitors. They are very easy to drive and can easily be powered by almost any amp. I've used them with as little as 1.5 watt/channel 45 tube amp and regularly drive them with my 3.5 watt/ch. BottleHead Paramour 2A3 tube amps. Currently I'm using 40 watt Channel Islands VMB-1 mono-blocks.

Bass is excellent for monitors. Great bass definition and extension. I love 'em!!

Enjoy,

I got great bass definition insmall enclosures with Totems Tabu and Mani2.

I would second the Totem Tabu. While not the bass of the Mani-2, the capacitor-less design and more 'air' in the presentation, it was was preference for a monitor that had suprising bass capability for it's size.

you might take a good look at monitor audio gr-10. i currently have a pair of paradigm studio 40 v.3's. they are fine sounding speakers but lack a bit on the low end. they could use a sub, which i hope to acquire in the spring. i have a pair of monitor audio bronze b-2's for my second system in the basement. they have a very good low end. the gold series gr-10 should be worth checking out. they list for $1,500. i noticed there are a pair on audiogon classifieds for $750. no, i don't know the person selling them; nothing in it for me.

thank you all again.
