feedback wanted Reference 3A speakers???
I have installed the new Beryllium tweeters in my De Capos and will get some impressions posted when they're more broken in.

A speaker I'd love to hear. So many interesting things in the design, and so well reviewed! 
Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound
I haven't yet heard the Breeze although I plan to do so. The Dulcet is truly wonderful. You can search for my Dulcet review here or on Audioasylum. I eventually upgraded to the De Capo; also a great speaker.

Okay, new, beryllium tweeters have been installed in my De Capo's! The slightest bit tricky in a couple of ways so that I called to get advice. But really not very difficult at all as long as you can handle a soldering iron enough to attach the ne...

Aprica88: They may not yet have an MSRP for the Sema... I don't know if it's in production yet. But generally speaking they offer free shipping, a small discount, and a 3 week in home evaluation period to customers who don't have a local dealer. A...

Reference 3A Dulcets vs. Nola Boxer---Opinions?

Nyaudio,Whatcha want to know?

Nyaudio,A pair of Manley Mahi's in triode mode... 20 watts/channel. More than enough power for the De Capo's. The Mahi's will also run in ultralinear mode at 40 watts/channel. You gain some slam in the bottom end, but lose some of that midrange ma...

Bryoncunningham,I think you are correct. A lot of this is a matter of maintaining a professional tone. Once it starts sounding like you're taking it personally, it goes downhill pretty quickly.

Hi,Well, I got word a couple of days ago that my new, Beryllium tweeters for my De Capo iA's have shipped! I'll report back when I've installed them.

Some manufacturers post on public forums and some don't. I don't think it's an indicator of a manufacturer's seriousness or integrity (or lack thereof). Bobby Palkovic of Merlin will often participate in conversations involving his speakers. If he... 
Reference 3a - old brochure + Reference 2008
Templetech,Call Tash Goka at Reference 3A. I bet he has access to that kind of info.
