Referrence 3A's a good match with Lavardin?

Greetings,

I am considering a pair of Reference 3A Decapo's or Veena's to mate with my Lavardin IT integrated amp and vinyl-based system. My room is a 13 x 15 multi-use den that offers just one placement option with an 8 foot distance to my chair. Any experience with these combined components or general insight would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Sorry, I can't compare all three as I have only heard the Redwine signature 30(not even the latest edition). The Lavardin and YBA are both pretty darned acclaimed pieces. I believe there is a thread on here that compares the Lavardin and the Redwine, try a search with both names.

I love Ref 3A speakers but you must hear the IT with Harbeth speakers. Probably the best midband reproduction in the audio world regardless of cost IMO.

I'm splitting up my IS Reference and DeCappo i partnership. If it's the reference 3A's you're wanting then I might try some high quality tubes. I'm going to try Living Voice speakers as I cherish the Lavardin.

I understand the WAF as mine does not like the De Cappos on stands. I'd go for something handsome and floorstanding. Real wood veneer seems to satisfy.

Should you decide to go Reference 3a , then definitely give them some room from the rear and side walls. Your Soudstage depends on it!
