| Parasound JC2 vs Rogue RP-7 I have an RP-7 paired with an a21+ and the combination is excellent. Using the XLR connections the RP-7 has 20db of gain vs. the JC2 14db. The sound is smooth and highly dynamic and you have the capability to have fun swapping different 12AU7 tu... | |

| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? I have SHL5+ speakers and used the Rogue Audio Stereo 100 amplifier (100 WPC). Amazing dynamic and powerful sound. Much more powerful than my previous 100WPC cronus magnum II. Med/ large room. 4 ohm tap sounded weak and anemic, 8 ohm tap much ... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I demo'ed the 30.2 with a Luxman L590axii class A and thought the system sounded overly subdued, recessed and rolled off. My current system is a Rogue Audio RP-7 tube preamp with a Parasound a21+ amplifier and Harbeth SHL5+. Very smooth but highl... | |
| Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers. read reviews as a basis for going out to actually listen to speakers and systems. go and listen, become a pest. do it often. find your "sound" and then act on it. | |
| Thoughts on my speaker selection? If home theater were my main use I would look hard at the SVS towers. For some reason SVS speakers have not caught on in the US - but they are seriously popular in Europe where they continue to win EISA awards. | |
| Need more slam! Help! as a follow-up the rogue stereo 90 is a decently dynamic, powerful tube amp, as is the stereo 100. making the change to a 200 WPC power amp (for example) will not yield much more slam and you will lose the charm and refinement that comes from a t... | |
| Upgrade preamp? Rogue Audio RP-7. Transparent, dynamic and silky smooth even with the stock new production tubes. | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghulamr-You can purchase Kimber 8PR cable in bulk, should come in at or near your budget. Go to "the cable co." For interconnects try VanDen Hul "The Name" ~ $79 for a meter at acoustic sounds. | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I was not able to find specs on your amp but YBA appears to make good stuff- but there are differences among power amplifiers that make one better than the other at a given power rating.Also it would be good to know your budget. |
