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 .

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

I have heard two different Focal models and neither sound anything at all like a Reference 3a speaker. Can't speak for the Triangles, never heard em.

I've owned both de capos and Triangles. Look for a Triangle Celius maybe ? Or, perhaps, s Vandersteen 3a Sig?

Focals are much more neutral and dry than de Capos or Triangles. It's a marked difference in sound.
