Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's

Hey, Gang,
I am not shilling for Reference 3A here. I just want to share my happiness with my Reference 3A De Capo's. Mine came as the De Capo i/A: they have the cherry veneer cabinets and the main driver has the Surreal Acoustic Lens. I later installed the beryllium tweeter so, minus the Nextel finish, they are now the equivalent of the currently shipping De Capo BE.
As was the case with the Dulcets I owned before moving up the line, I am regularly struck by just how fine they really are. I've been promising myself to write a full review (as I did for the Dulcets) but just haven't had the time. But if you're considering spending around $3000 on a pair of stand mount speakers, these are really worth considering. I enjoy mine immensely.

Hi Guys,

I bought the Decapo's 3a BE's a year ago and they are just great! A pain in the ass to break in, (they are a little bright in the begining and they are not as easy to set up as everybody would like us to believe (room placement really makes a profound difference-you can get good sound with little thought, but great sound with some work). Also I started with very good solid state (Pass30.5) and moved to tubes (Audio Space 300B Mono's) and there was a significant improvement with sound stage and instrument tonality. You know the Decapos are a great investment. They just keep getting better and better as you upgrade the signal you send them.
