Speaker suggestions

Are these larger or smaller than the Argon's?

Loving the Xenon's BTW - my idea of a FUN loudspeaker.

Didn't know there were any "high-end" dealers in Hastings (home town). Where are you based?

The ION's are tiny.

List price is £600. they come in Black, Silver and white.


I have a couple of pairs comming in this week.

 

Standmount? Efficient? Lively and open?

Or maybe the Reference 3A Dulcet:

 

Wow.. how small is that woofer?!

 

Smaller than the 12" Golds, that's for sure

If I remember correctly they can be used well with valve amps, too.

The design seems quite interesting:

As with all our other REFERENCE 3A designs, Dulcet's main driver is also directly coupled to amplifiers. Without crossover components interfering with musical signal flow the sound is responsive, fast and articulate. A simple, very high quality high pass filter is used on the treble unit for better integrated sound. The cabinets are constructed to be very rigid with critical bracing. The massive motor assembly of the driver is mechanically grounded to damp and reduce superfluous vibration energy. All the drivers are broken in for at least 100 hours for meaningful pair matching to very close tolerances.

Edit: Actually it might have been the Reference 3A MM de Capo i that I was thinking of. It is 92db sensitive while the Dulcet is only 88db. http://www.reference3a.com/mmdecapo.htm

 

I'd love to try both the Duclet & De Capo sometime. KJ has them, but I'd feel guilty about auditioning them without the intention of buying them, particularly as they are both rather expensive. Supposed to be very good though.

Quack, Quack.
