Reference 3A line updated

For those of you who follow Reference 3A, it seems that their entire line has been updated with:
A new, high tech, sound-absorbing finish called "Nextel."
A new, beryllium dome tweeter on all models, including the entry-level Dulcet.
Two new models, one called the Nefes, and a huge, 7-driver model called the Sena.
Hoping somebody out there going to Vega for THE Show next week can check out their room and report back.
The Ref 3A web site has had a nice redesign, too.

Couldn't be happier with my Grand Veenas.

I see they decided to go with the Murata tweeter again. The prototype I saw in a show report had only the BE tweeter. Bet the new models sound sweet.

I'm kind of wondering about the switch from a cloth dome tweeter to a beryllium tweeter. Fairly or unfairly, metal domes often get a bad rap for imparting a harshness to the high end, so I'd love to hear the revised models, too.

they don't look like much, but i heard a pair of 3A's many years ago and they sounded amazing. i don't know too much more about them, but they were very musical and very well made. and very small...

Nextel's been around for years. Dahlquist used to use it on their Monitor Series. I believe it was in the early eighties.
