| Ampli Tube for Canterbury Tannoy OP -- you might want to talk to @lalitk. He has one of the nicest systems built around Tannoy Canterburys. I have no doubt he will lead you in the right direction. Good luck! | |
| New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier How does the CODA CSiB (the latest version) compare to Pass Labs integrateds -- INT-25 or INT-60? I know the history, so no need to rehash that part, but would love to hear from someone who has actually owned a CODA and Pass Labs. | |
| LSA 20 Signature - I am thinking of buying a pair - anyone love/hate them? @heycarlos -- I owned them around 7 years ago. Unless they have radically revamped the speaker since, my suggestion is to audition other speakers as well. They were not bad, but at the same time nothing to write home about. They did not anything w... | |
| No free lunch @lalitk -- of course, it’s been on the cards for quite some time. That’s why I said I have ’yet’ to meet a high efficiency speaker that I liked :)But keep in mind that your Canterbury’s are in a whole different league when it comes to price and pe... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line @twoleftears -- the panels are from GIK Acoustics, and are supposed to be a diffuser/absorber combo ....https://www.gikacoustics.com/product/impression-4inch-bass-trap-diffusor-absorber/The ones that I lowered are situated on the side wall just a ... | |
| No free lunch [ ... Dynaudio wins here. ..']Sorry I didn't realize we were having a competition here :) I love Dynaudio, by the way, amazing speakers! I just happen to prefer Harbeth.You missed my point by a country mile. There are a number of highly respected ... | |
| No free lunch @oldhvymec [My terminology may not be the as eloquent as the word salad connoisseurs]I think you're being too humble. I, for one, enjoy reading your posts. You have a way with words and a narrative style that's quite eloquent and a breath of fresh... | |
| No free lunch There are a number of highly respected companies like Harbeth, Dynaudio, etc. who make relatively low efficiency speakers. It has been suggested on this forum that the only reason for this is to cut cost. I beg to differ. The sound characteristics... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line My apologies for the confusion. I thought I already mentioned that I'm having the stands built by Z Audio (@trn) based out of Autin. He does an amazing job and is very responsive to special requests and designs. My questions were really about what... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line By the way, I have them 4 feet from the front wall and 3 feet from side walls. Slight toe in, still experimenting with positioning. | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line The SHL5+ were delivered this morning. So far I've only put a few hours on them. They're not new so I'm assuming they have enough hours on them to rule out burn in related issues. Since I don't have proper stands yet, they're sitting on a wooden a... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line @twoleftears -- Currently, the M30.1s are placed on metal plate-top stands from Pangea. Although, I've filled them with sand, I'm aware that they're not ideal for Harbeths. With my previous P3 speakers, I could hear a little bit of ringing that wa... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line @big_greg - I really loved the P3esr's and never thought I'd move on to something else, but here we are. When I was in a smaller room and seated about 5 feet from the speakers, the P3s were very satisfying. However, once I moved to the bigger room... | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line Just to clarify, the M30.1s will stay in my home office for a long time. The SH5+ are for the media room, and will be replacing SF Olympica II. | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line I found a used pair of Super HL5+ in rosewood at a very reasonable price. Should be getting it in a few days. I'll compare it to 30.1 for a month or so, and decide if I want to keep the SHL5+ or replace with a 30.2.Right now, I'm really loving the... |
