I have owned Harbeths(never liked them at all)currently own vintage Tannoy reds(for investment only),never had Spendors but ill agree the Plinius isnt that great with that type speaker..IMO more suited for a quicker more dynamic setup.I just thought since he knew or should know owning the Koru the "house sound" of Plinius that it would be a better or easier move...
Plinius Hautonga or Hegel H360?
Hi guys I am getting to see several plinius Hautonga for sell currently, wondering if you guys had the chance to compare Hegel with plinius at some point.
I am sure some of you face the same dilemma since both retail the same and basically are equivalent to each other in the audio market.
Speakers I own Kef reference 1.
PS audio DS
Rega RP10
Plinius Koru
Thanks

I spent about three hours listening to both models in a showroom with harbeth, vintage tannoy and spendor speakers. I found the plinius had etched highs that I couldn't fix. Could have been the room, the wires, my source material or the Dac but that's why I crossed it off the list. Many goners have great experiences with the plinius so take my experience as one of many to consider. |
mountainsong Where all the power is needed on these Kef's is in the bottom end, quite broad between 2-3ohms, between 30hz to 200hz,, I be looking for amps that have good current delivery, amps with bi-polar (bjt) output stages, before mosfet or tube. Look at the second last graph. http://www.soundstage.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1298:nrc-measurements-kef-reference-1&catid=77:loudspeaker-measurements&Itemid=153 Cheers George |
