new refrence 3a mm de capo

What's the price on the new De Capo BE?

Rebbi, I owned the earlier De Capo i's and they were wonderful in the ways you describe. However, I found them a bit too forward sounding. (I expect their measurements would be less than optimum.) Do you find that with yours?

Tubegroover, it has been several years since I had the Ref 3A's and my recall of the specifics is not ideal. What I remember is that the music always seemed to be happening out in front of the speakers, whereas I tend to prefer a presentation that is at or behind the plane of the speakers. A bump at 700 - 1K sounds like it could be the culprit, which means the problem is with the mid-woofer and not the tweeter and probably not the xover. The new BE version has a new tweeter but they have made some changes in other areas also, so I'm curious to know if they have tamed the bump.

My current small speaker assortment includes the Harbeth P3ESR, KEF LS50 and Revel M106. (I like variety.)
