Latest DeCapo model is now available in our dealers. They now come  in Piano black finish.

I was lucky to chance upon this new model when I passed by Watts HiFi last week. I was actually ready to pay for the Nextel de Capo already. But Amiel allowed me to bring this new model home and the rest as they say is history. I will try to post pictures and a short review later. The gloss piano finish is beautiful, and there is a rubberized extension at the back of the cabinet. Kumbaga sa kotse, parang may rear spoiler.

You have the Ref 3a Reflector Monitor? WOWWWW

Nako hindi boss. Those reflectors are way out of my league. I have the new MM de Capo BE that now comes in a piano black finish (instead of nextel).







I'm not sure if there are any internal modifications as compared to the Nextel de Capos but both sound excellent to me. The new piano black de Capos are supposed to have improved highs (smoother) and more coherent bass as relayed to me by Caloy himself who had the chance to A/B both models.

I haven't broken in my pair yet and I didn't do an A/B comparison among the two models but I like what I'm hearing with this new model. It's not choosy when it comes to music, be it rock, metal, jazz, etc. It's very versatile and easy to drive at 92db. I previously auditioned the nextel model and I can confidently say it has the same characteristics. In fact, as i said in an earlier post, I was ready to buy the Nextel already. But upon seeing this new model, I just couldn't pass up on the beautiful gloss piano finish (which is easier to maintain for me). And after hearing it sound so good as it is with no break in, I thought it was a no brainer. It should only sound better as it burns in more hours. I think there are still two pairs up for sale if you wanna check it out. Only four pairs arrived in Manila.  It's not even on the Ref 3A website yet as it's a very new model and production is not in full gear yet according to Caloy.

[resident_evil]

Ganda grabe!

[DTNS]

I contacted Rex of Watt HiFi about the gloss black Reference 3A. he said only the gloss black De Capo BE were brought in, and only 4 pairs. they're more expensive than the Nextel finish obviously.

This speakers are too bright and FR measurements are far from ideal.

which model of Reference 3A are you referring to? what amp were they used with? lastly, where did you hear it?

[Nelson de Leon]

Sir pwede pa-post ng FR measurements?

[Own7]

This speakers tends to be on the bright side if your matching components are on
The lively side already kaya dapat careful system matching and on my part lots
Of acoustic foam and vdh cables did the trick.fyi, if everything allinged, to my ears
This is by far the best sounding speakers i!ve owned, my previous speakers are
Triton7, focus audio fs688se, b&w 705 and harbeh 7se. Only problem i have is its
Limited to one seat sweet spot.

Did you find the Triton7 bright sir?

[Own7]

Did you find the Triton7 bright sir?

No bro, the best part about the triton is its ribbon tweeter, mas sweeter but mas detailed
Yung sa reference, also yung sa reference meron syang midrange glare resulting to
Voice sibilance pag hindi maganda matching, but the rest like bass, imaging separation of
Instrument, mids talagang panalo reference. Pero if value for money tritons are hard to beat.
