| To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question... Harbeth C7ES3, had them for about 3 years, when fully broken in they were rich sounding without losing too much detail. often magical sounding. SHL5+ for about a year, perfect for me. Sensitive to toe in. More transparent and neutral but still... | |
| KEF Blade -- how good are they? I liked what I heard from the Blades on two different occasions --blown away by their sound stage and sheer power over the room.-did not care for their overall tone which was an odd mixture of warmth and coolness. lots of midbass warmth yet at th... | |
