What has the same sound as Ref. 3a ?

I currently have the De Cappo i's and really like them .
I have moved into a larger room , 22ft. X 13ft. , and now need more bass . The kind that I can feel but with clarity and definition . I don't need to go into subwoofer territory but do need bigger drivers . I don't want to do the blend-a-sub thing .
I can't afford new Grand Veena's and they seldom come up used . Especially in an area near me . Just trying to find others to keep a watch out for .

Thank you .

The Ref 3a Episode BE speakers would work nice in that room.

Nothing is going to give you that sound but another pair of 3a speakers. I had the Grand Veenas and they are very good. I have moved on to something that I like better, but if you hold out, a pair will show up eventually.

I have not heard the Ref 3As, but from what I have read, Triangle or Focal speakers might deliver similarly good performance overall with similar gear, though I would expect some significant difference perhaps in overall tonality. Triangle and Ref 3A in particular seem to have very similar approaches in crossover design, as I recall reading.

I have owned both the Triangle Comete and the de Capo.

No comparison the De Capo is richer thicker more extended and more bass

i have thought about adding a small sub to my de Capos but not sure i need the deep boom boom
