My preamp is the Audio Horizons TP 2.o. It has Siemens CCa(E88CC) in outputs. It is rated at 600 ohms output. My power amps are VAC Musicbloc monoblocks, rated 70W RMS, push-pull, KT-88 outputs and E82CC driver and splitter. Input impedance is 100K ohms. My speakers are Reference 3A Dulcet monitors.

My Heybrook HB-100 speakers also have main driver which is directly coupled to amplifier with simple high pass filter on the treble unit with only two capacitors. My Heybrook is little bigger, frequency response is 40Hz to 20 KHz, while your Reference 3A have 48 Hz to 20 KHz.
Also I believe that your speakers, because of mentioned direct coupled main driver, are very neutral, direct and transparent, so you will hear everything. I have also very hard time to make my speakers sound excellent and finally with very sophisticated pre and power amp they have some real magic in terms of speed, openness and dynamic.
Calculated cut-off at with 0.47 capacitors at 34 Hz, in the smaller room, with your speakers could bring some benefit because of yours speakers natural limitation in the deep bass.
From my personal experience I believe that you will have articulate bass without any problems after modification with V-CAP or Realcap TFT 0.47, 600V buffer capacitors.
Milos,
Thank you for your observations. Yes, the Dulcet speakers are very transparent with their simple one cap crossover as well as being time and phase aligned. They are extremely revealing of everything in the chain. I will try the .47uf V-cap teflon. If it doesn't work out, I can maybe use this value in another location. I appreciate your consideration.
Ok Sherod,
I will be very happy if 0.47 made magic. I ve never tried V-cap but Realcap TFT after 400 hours in my pre start to sound glorious.
Please post your experience with 0.47.P.S. Extremely revealing speakers like ours are great but painful.
Milos,
I will be glad to post my impressions of .47uf cap. Yes, our speakers are very difficult to extract that "magic", but once achieved, it is well worth it. I fully agree with you.
