Anyone have thoughts on Ascend Acoustics Sierra models?
Two Canadians and a Dane walk into a bar.... (bookshelf advice)
Sorry about the intro, but I have gotten the itch to upgrade my current Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo One bookshelf speakers. Current amp is a 40w Jolida 202A with upgraded tubes and the room is small - 13’x11’. My music is everything from Jack White to Miles Davis.
Years ago I sampled many budget bookshelf models and was drawn to the laid back sound of the soft dome tweeters used in my AE’s.
This time around I am considering the Totem Sky, Dynaudio Special Forty and Reference 3A De Capo. I have not heard the BE - Beryllium tweeters used in the Reference 3A’s.
There is a large range in efficiency between the De Capos and the Forties. How much should these numbers factor into my decision?
Has anyone compared any of these side by side? Any other other recommendations?
I am also interested in the respective “little brother” speakers - Evoke 10 & 3A Dulcet. These more cost effective options may work well in this room size.

To b_limo, I created a thread at diyaudio.com so if you could post the xover there. The cap may have been used for impedance correction so it may not be in the signal path. Without impedance correction, the impedance might be too high. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/355929-acoustic-reality-series-xover.html#post6239932 |
