| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in re. grilles on or off, i tried very diligently to enjoy the sound with grilles on for each model of harbeth i have owned. the sound was overtly soft compared to other speakers i like. grilles off sounds excellent with no negatives really. the i... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in stands are important for best sound. i use open frame high mass rigid 4 post sound anchors. on another forum there is a survey about which instrument your speakers reproduce best. i said piano, the shl5+ and my previous harbeth reproduce piano ... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in @prof With the Harbeth speakers I have owned I can listen with the grilles on when using solid state amplification. With tube amplification there is absolutely no way, grilles must go in the box. | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in @routeman21 have you tried listening with grilles off? | |
| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in I have never owned a speaker that didn't stop changing through 250 hours or so. Mainly the bass is impacted as the driver suspension, motor assembly and surrounds have loosened their grip slightly. Also the tweeters tend to sound smoother because... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon the SHL5+ require top flight amplifiation and setup to sound their best. | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ @twoleftears the supertweeter adds just a touch of additional realism, especially in female vocals, a breathy / subtle tinge that makes the right recording stunningly present. @kren0006 as odd as it sounds I agree with the Stereophile rankings eve... | |
| Rogue St100 Vs m120 I own and love the Stereo 100 amp. Refined, dynamic and transparent. | |
| Audioquest or Kimber kable. Kimber 8PR does everything I need it to. Neutral and balanced. Big bass sounds like big bass. Clear midrange sounds like clear midrange. Delicate airy highs sound like delicate airy highs. No negatives. | |
| Best cheap integrated amp <$500 new Yamaha A-S501 or a deal on a used 801. Scary good for the $$ | |
| Problem with Rogue Medusa Amp (I need advice) sounds like a gain miss match between your preamp and the medusa.i just read online about people with your preamp having difficulties with edgy sound because of the very high gain of the mfa magus. if you cant adjust the gain there are inline gain... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? @markj941,good sum summary. i just added two REL t9i to my system and am very happy with the sound. they integrate very well with my large british monitors compared to two other sub brands i tried. an important considesrtion is distance from wal... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ once again, try the grilles off of your harbeths if you have not. totally different sound, dynamics, top end and transparency open up quite well. | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+ vs. Focal Kanta No.2 not a fan . they can often be fatiguing depending on recording. i have found that speakers have a sliding scale that balances perceived excitement that comes at a price of less percentage of recordings that sound good. this for me revealed itself ... | |
| How does adding a second subwoofer improve your systems SQ? Let me give you a practical example-In my 2-channel setup I basically have only two small areas where my left and right subwoofers will fit- so positional flexibility is very limited.I recently measured the response of each sub during my integrati... |
