The demonstration highlighted the Operetta RC2000 preamp ($1,300) and a companion solid-state AP2300AX 150 watts/channel power amplifier ($5,500). The REAL A3 floor standing 3-way dynamic loudspeaker incorporates a German sourced Mundorf air motion ribbon tweeter ($12,000). They easily better the Gemme Audio Katrina’s mention above.
