Help Me Improve My Turntable Set-Up

Harbeth speakers have a great reputation. They have great potential.

What specifically is the problem. Lack of bass? Lack of details… imaging?

What is your room like? What is your speaker placement? Is all the equipment broken in… that is do all the components have at least 200 hours playing.

It is very possible the system is not set up very well, that can make a huge difference.

The system should start by being roughly in triangle you being at the apex and a bit further back than the distance between the speakers.. Start with them toed in pointing at your listening position.

The speakers need to be on solid stands (no vibration) and out of the corners.

Can you try a more powerful amp?The Harbeths are wonderful speakers but they need power to really come alive. Also those speakers are meant for a small/medium room.Along with a couple of subs in the back corners they will rock.

Thanks everyone.  I do have a good set up.  The Harbeths are on stands that bring them to ear level.  They are set away from the corners.  My chair is centered between the two speakers.  The speakers are pointed at the listening position.

I do agree with jtcf1's suggestion that I get a more powerful amp.  The Aegir does seem under-powered.

Please let us know what phono cartridge you have. Also, room size would be helpful.

Or get another Aegir and run them in mono!
