Reference 3A De Capo or Rogers LS3/5 ?


For many years I used the legendary Rogers LS3/5 (15ohms version) with Jadis tube DA5 amplifier. I love this combination, specially for human voices.
Now I want to buy another monitors with more bass extension than my Rogers.
I could see that many people recomend the De Capo. Anybody could compare them with the Rogers ?
Anybody listened the De Capo with Jadis electronics ?
Please let me know your suggest.

Before you jump onto Reference 3A De Capo, you need to understand your room acoustics first.
This particular speaker is rear ported, which means that placement is very important. How far to the wall is critical to the sound.
Rogers is direct firing near field speakers build for studio use. Placement is straight forward and the room acoustics is less critical.
I never like small ported speaker sound. The lower frequency is a bit distorted to my ears. But that's just my preference.
