samberger0357 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 Some recent lp's that have sounded wonderful through my 3's/3a's: John Renbourn-Another Monday Bert Jansch- The Ornament Tree Ella Fitzgerald-Clap Hands Here Comes Charlie Rolling Stones-Beggar's Banquet Andrew Hill-Compulsion Cecil Taylor-Conquistador Terry Reid-The Other Side Of The River Frankly, I have yet to hear anything that I've played through these amazing speakers that ever sounds close to mediocre.

Reel Man Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Still working on mine, but the Stereo "Miles Ahead" sounded pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxjohn Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 George Michael - 'Everything She Wants' Incredible bass guitar Many of his recordings are technically excellent whether on CD or vinyl. Since upgrading to an Ortofon Quintet Blue, I have discovered outstanding bass that I have never heard before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouB Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 My 3a's are now for all intents and purposes fully restored. I elected not to replace the tweets with the HIVI 4 ohm replacements. These just sound better and better as the days go by. The system most used for music is also the system used for visual media playback. Been watching an English mystery series called Broadchurch. These are REALLY nice for general purpose usage as well as critical music listening. The previous boxes in place were the 2Ax's. Just a world of difference between those and the 3a's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimpy Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 For whatever reason, I like to demo speakers with music that exhibits good transient snap and dynamics. As such, some of my go to favorites are... Flim & the B.B.'s - any recording Peter Gabriel - any recording Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Grace Jones - Slave To The Rhythm Supertramp - Even In The Quietest Moments Dire Straits - Love Over Gold (Telegraph Road) Al Di Meola - any recording YES - Going For The One Aaron Copland - Fanfare For The Common Man & Appalachian Spring Stravinsky - The Firebird Suite & The Rite Of Spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecat Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I really like movie sound tracks to test the 3's or 3a's as it gives me everything from Maria Callas to Jimi Hendrix to RL Burnside. I have the film track CD's.... "Philadelphia" "City of Angels" "Sopranos". All excellent to hear and test....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samberger0357 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Mostly jazz, chamber classical, folk. Overall I opt for more acoustic stuff, and my 3's love it. But today, home alone I found myself blasting the 1st UK Procol Harum lp. With my puny McIntosh 1700 receiver the sound was incredible, filling up my rather small room. Maybe the best I have heard my 3's yet. Just sounded right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
