Nola Boxers vs. Reference 3A Dulcets

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

ref 3a by far

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.

I've always been intrigued by the Ref 3A line but have only had rare, brief listens at shows. I did get to set up Nola Boxers recently in my 13'x17.5' listening room and they were extremely engaging. Flexible in placement options, nice broad and deep soundstage, very natural and lifelike with a sort of "upbeat" character that were never fatiguing and remarkably full bodied...essentially the virtues of a great mini monitor with serious aspirations towards a well rounded floorstander. Well worth auditioning as you will be pleasantly surprised.
