| Subwoofer for music, how low? Merry Christmas to you ! I have two REL T9i and love the sound. They are subwoofers with sound that contradicts their specifications. Mine play down to 20Hz in room at the listening position and have more than enough power, punch and impact ... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? The SHL5+ are sensitive to toe in and break in hours. They are counter intuitive in that more toe in reduces brightness. Also they should have grilles on to smooth the upper midrange. Lastly mine took many many hours to reach their final for... | |

| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? @jdal please remember that GR research video has an agenda. the crossover parts are low cost but are well regarded capacitors and resistors that have tight tolerances. they are low cost because they are sold in high volume. as far as the pa... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? @philsons I have compared the 30.2 to the SHL5+. but not with a subwoofer. I am sure they would sound excellent. Overall I prefer the transparency of the SHL5+ vs. the 30.2. The 30.2 can sound soft and rounded. Not as rich as the C7ES3 b... | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos I remember the first time I heard the LS50s. It was partnered with high end solid state amplification and i thought they sounded very good. The next time I heard them was a dealer that carried Raven Audio tube amplifiers. I was stunned at how... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Reiterating the superb value of the $2500 Rogue Audio RH-5 linestage / headphone amp. An exceptionally clean, dynamic sound. *Two 12AU7 *XLR input and output, a true balanced design. *Dual transformer Linear Power Supply. *Stereophile Class ... | |
| Phono stage shoot out: best mid priced unit? The Sutherland 20/20 with LPS gives me exceptionally clean, clear, smooth dynamic sound. Perfect synergy with my tube preamp and solid state amp. Whether running an Audio Technica ART9, Ortofon Cadenza Blue or Lyra Delos the sound is exception... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? @roxy1927 I am saying there is a possibility that it will sound better using the adapter to use the balanced outs. Definitely worth a try. | |
| Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos Stretch a little for a new or used Rogue Audio Stereo 100. Even though it is rated for the same 100 WPC as the Atlas, the St 100 sounds twice as powerful (better power supply circuitry). The ST 100 is a reference quality amp that solid state can... | |
| KEF Reference 1 bass response? Possibly the most disappointing speaker I have ever heard. Such great expectations but it did nothing right when I heard them. Blown out of the water by the Legacy Calibre for example. | |
| speaker upgrade check out the falcon acoustics LS3/5a or the lower priced MoFi version. | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? I had the C7ES3 and while I liked them they were a touch too rich and occasionally lacking detail. I went through a few other brands and eventually came back to Harbeth with the SHL5+. They have different sound compared to the C7. More detail... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? @roxy1927 i have the Pass XA25 too and use the balanced out connections from my Cary SLP 05 preamp. I used to have a balanced amp and wanted to re use the excellent van den hul XLR cables. At the amp I use a neutrik female XLR to male RCA c... | |
