Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power?

Mark, down the road you might consider a subwoofer. I use an M&K MX 700 with my C7s and it gives me all the pedals on an organ beautifully. Stand tweaking is not the answer.

They were designed using Quad ss amps. Most of us that converse on the Harbeth user group use ss amps and are quite happy.

Good luck,

Charlie

I use, as Paul said, a 21" stand. I listen in near field and also use a subwoofer. This is an excellent combo.

Paul always gives good advice, but he got a little ahead of himself here. He forgot to tell us that we should put the kitty litter in the freezer first.

Also, I recommend that you use the clumped kitty litter. (As a veterinarian, I have a large supply of natural clumps. In fact, I can pretreat with the sub-cryogenic necessities and ship to anyone interested, for a nominal fee.)

Excellent, sir. Welcome to the club. I think you may have discovered something by uncoupling those stands. It is an audiophile myth that stands are so important, but I will not waste time here defending that position. You can email me on the side if you want to hear more about speaker stands. Also explore the Harbeth smartgroups site, via harbeth.com, and I think there are archives on speaker stand issues.

Enjoy!
