General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Again take a look in the mirror before lecturing anyone on their sense of superiority

The A-3s are not discontinued. They have been "updated" over the years. Read for yourself. Link provided. "Audiophile 745 The A-3PX" Do you see the A-3 there? Same speaker essentially. Same driver dimensions, same specs, same power handling etc.

So here is a challenge to you. Instead of making yet another smarmy obnoxious passive aggressive "I'm better than you" type comment how about explaining to me and any other interested reader exactly what technology or design features makes the U 790 exempt from a sweet spot that does not exist in the A-3s?

Other than a marginal increase in bass extension what exactly are the meaningful differences between the A-3s of the past, the current A-3/Audiophile 745, the Audiophile 945, the U 745 and your U 790?

"meaningful" being the key word. Here is a hint, a change in the transformers won't change the radiation patterns of the drivers and make the sweet spot magically disappear. Neither will using steel poles instead of wood as the frames. As if steel was a better choice...

But anyway, let's see you actually talk about real issues in speaker design rather than displaying your typical smarmy passive aggressive arrogance.

I'm not holding my breath...

Roger West has been selling essentially the same basic design since the incarnation of Sound Lab. Not saying that is a bad thing but your smarmy dismissal of his A-3s is quite indicative of your attitude and lack of understanding of the speaker's design and ironic given your speakers are really not that much different.
