Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock?


I see a lot of glowing reviews about these speakers, but not much mention of dynamics or how loudly they can play? Can they do justice to hard rock? I heard the Decappos years ago and thought they were pretty good for their size. How big do the Grand Veenas play?

You will be sorely disappointed if and when you turn up the volume on the Grand Veenas. The midrange driver is run full range, which makes it a seamless sound, but that also means it is fed bass frequencies. As a result, the Grand Veenas won't play as loudly before hardening/distortion occurs as other speakers their size.
I had them on home audition, and at lower volumes they were fine, but hardened up when pushed.
If you like it loud, I'd stay away. I tend to stay away from speakers with 1st order crossovers for the same reason.
