You really hit the nail on the head. I have listened to vandersteens at many different dealers over the years because I have a pair of 1c's and they would give me a reference point to how other speakers sound as all rooms sound different. I have heard the 3a's depending on the dealer showroom and equipment sound anywhere from mediocre to downright amazing.
