| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? Using a Parasound a21+ driven by a Rogue Audio tube preamp. Sound is as good as I could ask for. Super smooth and refined. | |
| Subwoofers masking other frequencies. sounds like adding the third sub created the condition. as others have mentioned most likely too much energy in the room at frequencies shared by the main speaker. 1) first off- how do you have them connected? if two subs are connected to the sa... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars not for me. it is a band aid at best and robs your subwoofer of power at worst.It is no substitute for optimized subwoofer placement (within reason). | |

| Sonus Faber sonetto II vs Harbeth 7ES-3 The Harbeths are easier to drive by a significant amount. These two speakers are on much different price and musical performance levels. If you need to stick in the Sonus Faber price range I would recommend investigating the Falcon Acoustics LS... | |

| yet another tube preamp recommendation thread thanks to all so far. i am asking for preamps in the range of the cary slp98 up to the primaluna evo 4000/ rogue audio rp-7 or so, this is a rather specific price range. i have heard of these preamps before but never had a chance to listen to the ... | |
| Leave tube amps always on? On the LTA website it mentions that they drive the tubes with 1/3 of the amount of current that typical tube amps use which is part of the recommendation.Also many believe that tube life is shortened because of multiple power up / power down cycle... | |
