Reference 3A Dulcets in Larger Room, Free Space


I’ve been wanting to try Dulcets for years. My room is on the larger side and I’m back 10’ from the speakers, which will be ~7’ apart, 2-3' out from front wall. For those who’ve owned them, will Dulcets be "lost" and thin sounding in this context? I listen at only moderate levels and it’d be driven by 100 watts of SS power. Reference 3A feels it’d be OK but looking for more inputs

When you say your room is on the "larger size"  what are your room dimensions?  3' feet from front wall IME with the DeCapos is better than 2'. 7' apart, no problem. I've heard the Dulcets on several occasions and my impression is that they have all the magic of ALL the Ref 3a speakers but are really more suited for a smaller space. A 100 watt ss amp would be more than ample power for many in the 3a lineup and certainly the Dulcets. The most magical experience I'vd heard with these speakers was with a 20 watt tube integrated amp, very nice indeed.
