Of course, everyone has a different POV.
On one hand, the "Reference line" is the flagship.
OTOH, the R11 seems to have more dynamics than the Reference 3 based on the specs:
R11: 1" Al Tweeter, 5" Al Midrange,
6.5" x 4 Al Woofers
Reference 3: 1" Al Tweeter, 5" Al Midrange,
6.5" x 2 Al Woofers
20 years ago I would have probably voted for the Reference 3.
But these days, I would vote for the R11 and save some money.
