Honashagen, most so called audiophile speakers (Lord knows I’ve had a lot of them) sound restrained. I could not enjoy the music! I’ve just recently discovered that to go forward I had to revisit the past. I got a pair of JBL 4429 Synthesis monitors and now the life is back...the soul is back. They sound more alive than most other speakers. Live music is crazy dynamic and delivers energy that you can feel...and it sounds uncompressed at any volume. The JBL’s do just that! Even the new L100 would blow the Harbeth away.
I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul!
Hello all.
To start here's my system: Harbeth Compact 7es-3 speakers with DIY 10" subs. JL Audio CR-1 crossover. Rotel RB 981 power amp for the subs. Ayre KX5mp pre amp. SMC Audio DNA1 Gold power amp. Cardas reference neutral interconnects. Kimber 8Tc speaker cables. Oppo BD105 player.
The system sounds great but it does not move me. I want the music to touch touch my soul. I have been through many different speakers in the past 4 years but I like the Harbeths the most. I feel bored when I'm listening. I'm not sure what to do other than spend more money. Any help?
Thanks in advance.
