ALL OF MY SPEAKERS ARE INTENDED TO BE AUDIOPHILE GRADE... What this means, is that they are designed and built to sound perfect WITHOUT anything except the amplifier, mixer or pre-amp, cables and playback source. This is a self contained speaker system which includes a passive full range crossover. Bi-Amping and/or using an external crossover is not recommended for audiophile quality full range sound reproduction, so you won't find a Speakerboy Powered Full Range Speaker, (unless I ask Dave, my cabinet builder to make a speaker cabinet that we can stuff an external amp in). Subs are different and I'll build powered subs. You can do almost whatever you want with subwoofers, because they operate within such a small frequency range anyway, so the amp is not an issue, provided it puts out clean powerful current. True audiophile full range speakers perhaps will never be bi-amped or externally crossed over, because it's virtually impossible to flatten the response or make a standard design which can be replicated.
If YOU are an audiophile, sound engineer, or speaker builder you already know what I'm referring to when I say "audiophile grade sound", BUT if YOU'RE not either one of these; imagine perfect sound coming at you at incredible volume. Your first question when selecting speakers should not be "What's The Price?". Awaken the Audiophile in you and SURPRISE THE AUDIOPHILE in the crowd at your next gig!
THE SPEAKERBOY T3A was designed to be a hybrid speaker crossing the boundaries of home audiophile sound into the realm of high powered pro sound for studio applications and venues which required a classy look. The T3A also works out well for those DJs who work smaller gigs for a more discriminating formal audience. The T3A works well for permanent installs. The T3A is a little dynamo out-performing many speakers twice it's size. The T3A has a flair for music, although it is tuned to be completely "flat" for studion recording applications and sound buffs. A true audiophile who only listens at home, and doesn't think they'll be happy until they hear the holy grail of a true flat frequency response, may well be very surprised at the T3A, just as they would it's big brother the T4A. This speaker system is actually one of my favorites of all my designs. It's not overly large, nor heavy. It has phenomonal sound too. It has measured +/- 4 db 45Hz - 20,000Hz, in near field monitoring in a closed room, but pegged the charts for flat when measured up close on axis. The T3A can play nice and soft, or loud and clear. It does not have the shear volume and brute force of the Mega Monster Speakerboy T5A, but it is actually a bit more powerful sounding than it's big brother the T4A.
Where the T4A sound has a more rich, mellow character, the T3A is a livlier speaker which can handle as much power as it's sibling, but has a "punchier, harder hitting mid-bass and it's midrange and high section cuts through the air like a knife. Because it is tuned to be "flat", (not colored to produce a sound that is tweaked at either the low, or highs). it's a force to be reckoned with in terms of clarity and how things "really sound" as they are recorded.

It's quite amazing the way that the T3A reproduces recorded playback material so clean, sharp and unimpeded, it actually makes you think twice about some of what you thought sounded great. If you're a listener of older recordings, jazz recordings and the like, you may not appreciate the way the studio monitor plays back your old favorites. If you're into quality recordings and want to hear every nuance, good or bad than the T3A is a perfect choice for you. The T3A also has the capacity to produce a more colored bassy sound with shimmering highs with a modified crossover and different internal acoustic materials.
Although it has a 12" woofer, it is not necessarily a "bouncy" speaker, or "Punchy" sounding speaker like many 12" speakers are. The bass is big and smooth, but only if the recording intends it to be. It can even faithfully reproduce sub-bass better than many 15" and 18" dedicated subwoofers, because of this custom woofer' svery low FS... The driever is actually rated at 25 hz, but the cabinet is tuuned higher to properly flatten the frequency response curve while giving it the capacity to churn out more volume, SPL.
If using the T3A ina mobile application, outdoors, or in a fairlu large venue you may want to operate at least a subwoofer, or a second pair of teh T3A's. This model also has a very high excursion woofer, however the precision made dual flared port which is actaully built into teh cabinet itself, is tuned and baffled to give greater air suspension, resulting in far greater mechanical control of the speaker's dynamics. The midrange and tweeter seamlessly overlap and are pattern aligned and each set is mirrored for better spatial imaging and so they can be used on their sides which is frequently the case in tight recording studios.
The T3A is a speaker which you can enjoy AT FULL VOLUME IN THE LISTENING AREA! These are unlike DJ speakers or PA speakers and should not be thought of in this category. The T3A is more like a MONSTER STUDIO MONITOR SPEAKER, with the built in accessories to take them out on mobile events, but classy enoughto have anywhere.
This is a very capable speaker and will surprise many djs who automatically assume bigger is better or louder! "Hearing is Believing!", ESPECIALLY with the T3A.
