Happy Camper with Super 3XRS

Everything I've heard about stunning soundstage, speed, resolution, etc, etc, is true.
Garage system is up and running on 2A3 engine.  Great discovery, these little Omegas.

Wow, if that's your garage system ~ your house system must be killer!  I really dig tweed laminate, is has this mid century modern vibe to it.

House system is Altec 604H in 6 cubic foot enclosures, augmented by dual subs (JL 12W6) and powered by 300B sweetness.  Classic sources:  Rega P3 with Dynavector 10X4 and NAD CeeDee player feeding a TEAC UD-301.  The garage/shop system is my favorite, though, listening to SACD & DVD-A on an old Oppo 971 and streaming FLAC & 24/192 with a Logitech Squeezebox feeding a TEAC UD-501.  Love these Super 3XRS!!    :green:

Hi Rkjester,

Many thanks for your post and welcome. Both your systems are great and I'm very happy you love your 3 XRS's. Your Sun Audio 2A3 brings back fond memories. I had one too and should have never sold it.

Your garage set up looks mighty cool.

Thanks again,
Louis

Thanks for the kind words, Louis.  My 2A3 is only a Sun clone, but it sounds quite nice and mates very well with the Super 3XRS.  I'm astonished that this simple set-up is able to achieve such a high level of musical magic.
I'm now looking for a used pair of Super Alnico Monitors or something similar with great imaging (for a 300B based system).  Thanks for putting together such SET friendly, nicely designed & well-engineered speakers.

Hi Rkjester,

Great to hear and Super 3 XRS and 2A3's are great matches.

I actually have a mint set of Demo Super Alnico Monitors with new drivers in Level 2 Walnut.

They will sound great with your 300B.

My pleasure and appreciate your very kind words,
Louis
