Nola Boxers vs. Reference 3A Dulcets

These two speakers are now pretty much at the top of my list for a 2-channel system using a Rogue Sphinx integrated, listening to vinyl and CDs. Does anyone have any input on how the Boxers compare to the Dulcets? Room is 13x11, carpeted, and I listen at low to medium volume levels. Thanks.

I have the Reference 3A de capo be's in my 10'x14' carpeted room and they fill it beautifully. I'm not sure the smaller Dulcets would do the same compared to the Nolas, though.

Havn't heard Dulcets or the Boxers but I can agree about the De Capos have them in a 12x 20 room powered with a 4 watt amp. plenty of volume

I reviewed the Dulcets here:

That said, much as I adored the Dulcets, they will get congested if pushed too hard, so as suggested above by others, you may want to look at the De Capo BE. It's cut from the same cloth as the Dulcet but will play louder and has a more open sound.

But let me add that my room is only slightly larger than yours and for low to moderate volume the Dulcets did just fine.
