Welcome to this page dedicated to 3A speakers.
The goal is to list and detail the models of the brand.

What for ?
Because nothing like that exists, so it's a necessity...
To gather technical information to simplify future research.

Why online ?
Because 3A is overall unrecognized on all of its production.
With nevertheless some notable advances and many remarkable loudspeakers scattered around the world, then this is for posterity...

But also because the task is tough...
The lack of official sources, the complexity of the brand's history does not simplify things, this « catalog » is perfectible and can not be done without the participation of each. So i still invite you to contribute if you want, to enrich the database. In addition, any comments, criticism or suggestion is welcome !

I take this opportunity to thank again those who have already « placed their stone », and all those who have welcomed the initiative. Your many supports and encouragements confirmed to me that this work - as colossal as selfless - had a meaning anyway.
Thank you, and that benefits everyone.

What framework ?
Originally limited to the French production, the « Catalog » now extends to Swiss and Canadian periods. It is indeed « hang wagons » to provide a more comprehensive picture of 3A history. Thus the speakers are now distributed by name, and still by series/model/version.

However, in order to simplify, some episodes are not mentioned in the table above, as the French period of Reference 3A made in Loudun, and its Master series that you will find with Canadian speakers.

Finally I thank Mr. Tash Goka — current leader of Reference 3A in Canada — to have given the go-ahead regarding his production. I also thank Mr. Daniel Dehay — engineer founder of the brand and designer of its speakers — for his contribution, recalling that this website will always intended also to pay tribute to him.

Regards,
Mathieu Somoskoy-Correa-Berton
