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.
