| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @prof I had a chance to listen to those Josephs at friends house but not in my own. Based on what I remember, I would say switching from Perspectives to 96s would be a downgrade especially in the near field listening. Honestly, based on my experie... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @prof I am a good and close friends to local dealers and distributors and it is safe to say that 85% people are buying equipment because of the favorable magazine's review or simply to show off. I have not seen that many who are actually based the... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @bobheinatz I did not have an opportunity to audition 40.2s with Pass Labs. I tired the INT250 with Dynaudio Contour 60s and the sound was dark and rolled off in my room. Unless you have live and open room, I would be careful with pairing warm sou... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @prof That's why every piece of equipment should be auditioned at home. Harbeths have warm sound signature for sure and 96s can sound bright and fatiguing in the very live room. I agree - dark speakers can suck the excitement out from music making... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @prof I heard 0/96s, 0/93s, Super 9s in 6 different rooms and system. The sound signature I described above maintained itself across. On the top of that, 96s sounded dark and recessed in my room while fatiguingly bright in my friend's live room...... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks @prof I had Devore 0/96 in my smaller but dedicated room for 1.5 years. I have tried at least 20 different amplifiers starting from Shindo separates ending with Dartzeel LHC208 integrated. Luxman L509x proved to be the best match to my room and ta... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks Remember that i am using rather large room that is heavy damped. Much depends on the room acoustic. I tried Vinnie Rossi‘s monoblocks and honestly could not understand what is the hype about. They sounded very nice with DeVore Super 9 but far from... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 40th Anniversary with Simaudio mono blocks I heard Shindo separates with DeVore 0/96s that I had in my dedicated listening room for 1.5 year. Obviously, P3s are little speakers and do not need 200Ws. The little driver can move only so much air before producing major distortion. I have seve... | |
| Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2 40.2s need POWER! I use them with with Simaudio 400M at my large place but the new Hegel H590 and Gryphon Diablo 300 will be very good choice. I would stay away from Pass Labs for Harbeths - both companies have rather warm sound signature that can... | |
| Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 Steve,when I started it, I intended to further pursue the analog....Audiogon changed the way you edit your posts so I cannot delete it. Hence the discussion... | |
| Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 Thank you all for good recommendation. Owned several high end turntables with expensive cartridges and some quite good phono stages. The conclusion I have reached is that if you have so-so system, average record player will make you very happy. On... | |
| Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 Yes, it is mine! I think I am done with analog. At least for now! :) | |
| Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3 I have no experience with neither phono stages - PH10 and VTPH2A. I did some reading about the Heron phono and could not really find a negative review. ($3.7k sounds pretty steep thou. Knowing that the dealer mark up is usually 40%...I could consi... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like I did not have a chance to audition 507u BUT 509x is way above all the previous integrated made by that company. Brand new league. Some likes the 509 better than 900-Series separates (google a review written by the Australian guy). I truly love it... | |
| Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like so......on the beginning I will say that I own 509x and got it in the trade from twice the price Dartzeel LHC208.I had following amps at home in my system before I finally settled down for L509x:1. Nagra Classic Integrated2. DartZeel LHC2083. Hege... |
