Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i
Mapman,Good to hear from you.Reference 3A has a deal going. When you buy direct from them, you get six months to apply the full price of your purchase to upgrade in their line. That's what I did; they deducted the full price of my Dulcets from the... 
Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i
I'm kind of reviving this thread because I just took delivery of a new pair of De Capo iA's and need stands for them. I have a pair of Osiris metal stands, sand filled. They are very solid and heavy. Their top plate was the perfect size for my Ref... 
Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i
Arrrgh! My De Capo MM-i/A's were mistakenly misrouted en route via FedEx from Canada. It'll be a few more days until I receive them. :-(

Dinder1,How's the build quality? Fit and finish? Packaging?

Boisty,I will oblige. They're in transit from Canada and should arrive around September 7th! 
Best speaker for Manley itube Stingray?
I have the Manley Mahi mono-blocks... more or less the Stingray in two separate chassis. They have sounded great with anything I've paired them with: Merlin TSM, LSA1 Statement, Reference 3A Dulcet. Hard to make a bad choice unless it's such a pow... 
Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i
Bigshutterbug,Hey, just wanted you to know that I took the plunge and sent my Dulcets back to Reference 3A as a trade up to the De Capo's! I should have them in a couple of weeks (they're on vacation this week).I'll report back! :-) 
Reference 3A DeCapo " Blue Tak" question
Telescope,Reference 3A recommends using Blu Tak, at least with the Dulcets. I found that the "pea sized ball" recommended in the owner's manual was too much. The speakers ended up sitting about 1/4 inch above the stand's top plate! I called Refere...

Metralla,Yes, as I said, I was very rushed and got mostly fleeting impressions. I'm glad the YG's sounded better to you. I'd have liked to have the time to hear that system playing some music I was more familiar with.

By the way just did a little research and found that those Franco Serblin Accordos are designed by the former Sonus Faber designer. Hmm...

Mapman,I tend not to pay a lot of attention to any monitors over $5000, but that just reflects my budget and life obligations. Those Franco Serblin Accordos were very pretty and sounded quite good for the few minutes I had to spend in that room, b... 
Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i
Bigshutterbug,Good to have you posting again.I'm still thinking about moving from my Dulcets to DeCapo's while Reference 3A will give me full trade-up value. I spoke to a Reference 3A dealer in Northern California while I was visiting there last w...

FWIW, the dealer in Texas wanted $500 to reserve a pair.

Thanks for mentioning those little monitors by Franco Serblin. I liked them, too, very holographic. They were, what, something like $20K?Wanted to hear the Tannoy's in the Blue Room but couldn't find them... drat!

I was pretty tempted last winter to put a deposit on a pair of these with a dealer in my state, but now I'm glad I held off. Too much potential aggravation waiting. Let's see when people actually begin to receive their orders.
