Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i

Thanks for the update Rebbi. I must admit that my question was somewhat rhetorical being a former Dulcet owner and having heard the De Cappo's on a few occasions your description is what I would have expected. I can certainly attest to the break in time with the Dulcet's and I don't doubt Tash when he says three to five hundred hours. I've admired the whole Reference 3A line for some time and the De Capo's are one of my all time favorite speakers, especially partnered with low powered tubes! Awesome! Congrats on your new purchase and thanks again for sharing. Happy Listening! Jay

Congrats Rebbi. Sounds like you have found your ideal speakers.

I will be driving 5 hours to pick up a pair of Grand Veenas tomorrow. I have high hopes for these speakers. I heard the original deCapos a few years ago and was pretty impressed with them, and am looking forward to hearing the big brothers.

Shakeydeal,
Very exciting about the GV's. Never heard them but I'd imagine they are spectacular. Enjoy and please do report back!

Shakeydeal, any news on the GV's?

Yes, I have news.

The Grand Veenas are certainly something special. Very coherent and musically involving. The bass is extended and powerful enough with lots of texture and detail. The high frequencies are some of the best I have heard. They will get pretty loud in my largish room, although this could be their one small shortcoming. They aren't for head bangers. Sometimes I wish for just a little more volume, but I'm ok with that. At least for now.
