Cain Abby vs Reference 3a De Capo i


Anyone compared these, ive auditioned the De capo's several times and love them, but have no way of auditioning the abbys,
assuming the abby's are close in sound quality to the De capo's they may represent better bang for your buck as they sell for about half the price on the used market, and when you factor in the cost of stands for the decapos its even less...still as i said before i havent heard the Cain's yet..

any thoughts?

Long term doesn't depend on your taste in music.Any speaker can work in the right system with the right gear in the right room with the right owner. Is there a such thing as a long term speaker? I seriously doubt it. Your more likely to change because of that itch more than any thing else. What type of music you listen too won't be the big factor, if you do your home work.

It would be unrealistic to think otherwise!

Gliderguider your more than welcome to send them toys my way! And please give me the definition of a real high end system. Let me guess.. is it the one where you get reamed
by paying for nothing more than a cabinet?
Gliderguider LOL !! I had to crack my side at your last post! It is hillarious ! I have no problem with the speakers not working for you. As I told you before ..why waste the space.Send them my way. I'm sure Miklorsmith will take them off your hands as well.

It was the "real high end" comment that got me going. It must be a lot of unreal high end on Agon..cuz there sure is a lot of it for sale.

Looks like your pro canadian too. Nothing wrong with that...I guess! :-)
TWL I notice your a big Lowther fan. I understand where your coming from as well.But single drivers also do not end with Lowthers. There's several brands out there, I would love to try. It is only the beginning for me. My next stop are the hemp drivers. From there maybe the F200a Fostexes. If the Hemps can give me what I want, I may slow down a bit. The Lowthers are on my list also. Sometimes this hobby can get overly addictive...but man is it fun to hear new things. The Fostex is a good way to get a taste of the single driver world..it's got me hooked! I doubt I'll be going back to a speaker that uses crossovers.

Good listening!
