reference 3a MM decapo ia or magnepan 1.7?

any thoughts decapo ia v. LSA 1 statements? imaging? filling medium sized living room?

Kenwood L09 mono ss amps, audio purist series late 70's. 300 watts ea@8 ohms - more at 4. MFA magus a-2 tube preamp by bruce moore & scott franklin. sao winn vintage strainguage phono cartridge, also new sumiko blackbird (bbird is a little forward & bright). tube cd jolida 100a. like most music except rap. enjoy classical but mostly play rock, r n b, jazz moderate to mid-loud. my Maggie's always produced excellent bass & i play electric bass guitar. i was disappointed w/the offerings in the 2 series because of lack of bass. the 1.7 i think i could live with. i stay away from subwoofer systems which can sound unnatural + i don't wish to take up any additional space or have more wires.

good personal info on the LSA's tho i realize i haven't heard them or the decapos.

how about reference 3a's compared to emerald physics cs3 (w/or w/o sub) or cs 2.3's.

How do i find someone near the monterey bay area where i can listen to the reference &/or emerald physics speakers?

spoke with wally. no dealers & no client list so no luck so far. still thinking about speakers-3.6, 1.7, even 3.7, ref 3a, & so on & so on......

decision made magnepan 3.7's!

ty rebbi,
was hoping to go see len's place sometime. he's always been nice & informative on the phone. sadly, i missed out on a great deal he had a few months ago on mg 3.6's.
