longtime mgIIIa-3.5 user/lover. heard & liked mg 1.7 but wife would prefer smaller speakers. any thoughts from someone who likes maggies & has also heard the decapos? i hope to hear the decapos sometime this month.

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?
Kingmacaw,

For info on hearing the Emerald Physics in your area you should contact Walter Liederman of underwoodhifi-dot-com. He owns the company.

As for the Reference 3A's, I know there's a hifi dealer somewhere in the Bay Area who carries the line because that's where I first heard them several years ago, while on a family visit. Sorry I can't be more specific, but if you call Reference 3A in Canada, they'll point you to a dealer in your area.

Hope this helps.
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......
Kingmacaw,

Congrats, and I hope you enjoy your Maggies.

Since you asked earlier in the thread about a Bay Area dealer for Reference 3A, thought I'd mention that the dealer whose name I couldn't remember earlier in the thread is Blue Moon. They're in Pacifica.

Best!
