Angeboten wird „L Integrale Nouveau“ von Reference 3A als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4265958392 endet am 29.07.2026 um 20:06 Uhr.
Condition good makes €500 look like a strong buy rather than a stretch, because this model tends to sit in the higher end of the used-market class for serious standmounts and €500 is plainly on the low side for a clean pair. Reference 3A’s L’Integrale Nouveau is a well-liked, high-sensitivity design at 91 dB / 8 ohms, so the appeal is not just rarity but easy drive and a lively, efficient presentation.
What makes it worthwhile is the classic 3A mix: a simple, revealing tweeter implementation and a presentation that rewards good amplification without needing huge power. If the speakers are truly complete and cosmetically tidy, this is the kind of purchase that usually gives more performance than money spent, especially at this price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Reference 3A is a long-running loudspeaker brand whose roots trace back to the late 1950s, when French audio designer Daniel Dehay founded 3A, short for “Applied Acoustic Arts.” In its modern form the company is based in Waterloo/Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, and the Reference 3A name was added later as the line evolved.
The brand is known almost exclusively for loudspeakers, especially minimalist, high-sensitivity designs built around proprietary wideband and crossover-light driver concepts. Models such as the MM de Capo and larger floorstanders like the Grand Veena, Taksim, Nefes, and Reflector show that its focus is on passive speakers rather than amplifiers, DACs, headphones, or accessories.
In the market, Reference 3A sits in the niche high-end boutique category. It is not a mass-market brand; instead, it targets serious listeners who value natural tonality, dynamics, and an unfussy signal path, and its pricing and press coverage place it firmly in the premium audiophile segment. The brand has enough heritage to appeal to vintage-minded collectors, but its current identity is very much that of a specialist modern loudspeaker maker.
