People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....

I was also wondering which post inspired the rant, but I agree with jethro1964. I own and enjoy Harbeths, but I simply can't understand why Mr. Shaw sidesteps the amplification thing. To say any well designed amp over 50 (or whatever) watts will give you great sound does not make sense to me. It's a very well designed speaker, and it will easily allow someone to hear the flaws in a mediocre amp. Then on the same token, it will allow a better amp to shine. 

The Harbeth's are a good enough speaker to easily decipher the difference between entry level and a $2,000 integrated. If he suggests otherwise, he is selling the speaker short. Cheers -Don

"Uh. Great. I'll listen to music, thanks very much. "
Agree 100%...To a speaker that is capable of showing how an amp with special qualities can shine. IMHO, the Harbeth's easily qualify. Cheers -Don

prof... let me know if you hit upon anything special. Lately I'm really digging Tom Petty: Full Moon Fever, with Future Disk stamped in dead wax. Cheers -Don
