Personally heard the complete line of Ref3a speakers back home and I'd say panalo lahat. For tube amp users, you'll simply love these beauties 8)

Will do brader.. i will do  more side by side comparison tomorrow... Kanina nag compare ako kaso mabilis lang... Medyo kabado ako kanina kasi sumugal lang ako base on reviews kaya first thing i did is compare both on music that i always listen... Natatakot ako na baka mamaya mas maganda pa ang Synchrony One B..

In the end.. di ako nagkamali na bilhin sya... Medyo iwan na iwan si One B... Will do a more detailed comparison tomorrow he he he

Lamang ang One B sa bass department..... But the 3a has tighter and more detailed bass... Quick impression lang kanina yan base sa short comparison ko plus wala pa sa correct position ang 3a kanina... the rest lamang na for me ang 3a... Will have a more comparison session tomorrow pati type ng music..
