Re: Whats Next after Ref 3A de Capos?

I think that you can have what you are looking for and only spend half the money in your budget. I have been through quite a few pairs of speakers myself. Meadowlark and Audio Physics etc up to $5500 .... I fell in love with the sound of the old quads but there were quite a few concerns that kept me away from them... price, my cat, beaming, bass, dynamics etc...

So I troed a pair of Carolina Audio JTM's www.carolinaaudio.com $1500 and I am in heaven. They have a smoother and more extended hogh end out that single full range Jordan driver than any of my other speakers had with ring radiator tweeters etc... and an incredibly natural way of presenting a lot of detail without ever stepping out of the flow of the music.

The midrange is incredibly transparent... zero crossover.. and there is no congestion at all, every instrument or voice has it's own place in the soundstage. Voices float between the speaker...
The bass flows through aquarter wave transmission line and in depth, detail and coherence is unmatched from anything that I have owned. It is incredibly accurate and isn't stuck inside the cabinet like so many other speakers.

The JTM's are so wonderfully coherent. The dynamics are great.... on the big scale and also with the microdynamics all the nuance that lets the music move forward.

At $1500 with a 21 day trial they are a must audition if you are shopping at any price. They gave me a quality of sound that I never thought I would be able to have.
