Reference 3a confusion

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I'm looking for some information on the earlier Reference 3a Royal Master and Control Master. There may have even been a Royal Master Contorl model and I want to clear up any confusion. I'm selling a pair of Reference 3a speakers for a friend who swears they are the Royal Masters. I have no reason to doubt him as he is honest and I have known him for over 10 years. He bought these as dealer demos about a year after Jonathan Valins review in The Absolute Sound review in 1994. They were $5000 a pair back then. I first heard them in his $50K system about 10-11 years ago and was greatly impressed. I now have them for sale on AA and US Audio Mart. They have the walnut solid wood side panels and are wired internally with silver wire which I believe to be Siltech. The only markings on rear are Master Serie 92dB, 8 ohm 120 watts. I have a potential buyer that refuses to believe these are indeed the Royal Masters but the lesser Master Control. Ser # is 025254. Any help clearing this up is appreciated.
