| Leave tube amps always on? No matter the built-in protection, I take the point about gas filled tubes and fires and its enough convincing for me to shut it down every night or when we leave the house. Thanks for that gloriousunicorns :)I guess it just comes down to some dai... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? @tomic601 Wasn’t Einstein a physicist? They know a thing or two about energy and glass tubes. ;) | |
| Leave tube amps always on? Berning is a physicist. I'll try to fnd out the science. | |
| Leave tube amps always on? @audition_audioYes I thought I made that clear. Thats the suggestion from the designers themselves given the power surge in turning on and off multiple times. My healthy skepticism is questioning that. | |

| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? @erik_squires Lol. Ok so you're saying this dude Dennis Foley doesn't know what he's talking about. Got it. | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Thx @erik_squires and @optimizeThe GIK 242s are rated from 250, and the 244s from 80. He specifically wanted to match the 35hz +/- 3db point of the Harbeth for smoother results and he thinks bass is the biggest issue in the room. But the investmen... | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @roxy54 LTA uses Anticables on their preamp/amps at their shop and in a bunch of shows so I went with Level 3 power cords, Level 3.1 speaker cable and Level 6.2 RCA ICs. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @roxy54 And @snoproThx ! It was fun. I just finished all my cabling and now I’m going through withdrawal ! | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? Grilles off for me. Besides the asthetics and badass Anniversary logo, it gives the 40.2a 0.5db boost from the tweeter which I need. Zero impact on bass driver. | |
| JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x The JBL is like a Rollercoaster. In your face exhilarating, fun, but rocks your brains and you feel fatigued after riding them for awhile. So depends what you want. If you want serious engaging vocal and musical reproduction that you can listen to... | |
