| Shopping for speakers at $1500-$2000 is a chore. Sunnyjim,Thought I'd weigh in here with some things that might be helpful. Yes, component shopping and swapping can make a person cranky; no argument there.That said, I owned a pair of the Reference 3A De Capo's; they were not 100% current: they h... | |
