| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ another thought, the D7s were less forgiving on bright, harsh or difficult recordings making them tough to take. Harbeth runs the fine line between detail and forgiving like no other speakers I have heard. | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ FYI the SHL5+ as well as other Harbeth models (including the larger M 40.2) sound best when treated like nearfield monitors, e.g. an equilateral triangle arrangement. sounds more detailed and focused and yields the largest sound stage. | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ @routeman21 be careful straying from harbeth, they can get their hooks in you ! i went to spendor after my first harbeths, the c73s3 and eventually came back. both my harbs took at least 250 hrs for the sound to plateau. before i forget- grille... | |
| Covering a TV behind your speakers? I also refuse to have a screen between my speakers. I do use GIK diffusers and have 4 of them behind and between the speakers. Sound stage is incredible.Occasionally I do watch TV off to the side as a visual background to music. Ideally I would ... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ I currently own the SHL5+ and owned the Spendor D7 previously. I ran each with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and now Rogue Audio tube preamp and tube power amp. The D7s are excellent speakers and easy to place with great imaging and excellent dee... | |
| Replace a Rogue Tempest with Cayin CS845A, Ayon Triton 2, Unison Research, or Mastersound? I believe your speakers will sound best with a solid state amplifier. I suggest a Yamaha A-S1200 | |
| Keeping it Simple - An Integrated Amp for Golden Ear Triton One.R Speakers @georgehifi the OP does not need much current because the Triton woofers are actively amplified. he just needs to drive the midrange and tweeters at 100hz and up. perfect opportunity for a quality tube amp. | |
| Keeping it Simple - An Integrated Amp for Golden Ear Triton One.R Speakers Since the woofer section of the 1Rs is powered by the internal amplifier, your new amplifier will have an easy time driving two mids and a tweeter at 100Hz and up. As such you can easily use a refined, musical, sweet sounding tube integrated and s... | |
| Raven or Hegel? Heard both extensively, bought two raven audio amplifiers. ultra refined and as sweet and transparent as they come. would be a very good match with your speakers. | |
| Recommendations for floor standers that sound good at low levels too Quality sound at lower volume requires good, effortless bass response. The ability to produce impact and overcome the ear's bass sensitivity deficit. This often has more to do with the quality, power and robustness of the amplifier with respect ... | |
| Good Tube Pre Amp under 2K look for a used rogue audio RP-5. superb in all areas. | |
| Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore? I still greatly prefer the sound of tubes vs solid state. I also prefer the current, more neutral tube sound- however you can modify that with small signal preamp and input tubes. The reasons I use them-1) they give you a much larger, spacious s... | |
| What Do You Think . . . and How Does It Work? kenjit,from an engineering standpoint a tubular shape is inherently the most rigid and deflects the least under pressure than a box shape. that's why pressure vessels are cylindrical- e.g. pressurized gas, liquid nitrogen storage dewars, compress... | |
| speaker stands--general considerations One lasting impression of speaker stands happened at a dealer several years ago listening to Dali, KEF and other stand mount monitors on some Sound Anchor stands, spikes on the base, thin layer of blu tack between the speakers. The bass was simply... | |
| What your choice speakers with spikes or speakers with a vibration isolation device? It depends. I hear speakers sounding their best when they are rigidly mounted and supported. I would only consider isolating the speakers from the floor if that floor were audibly excited by the speaker cabinet vibrational energy. My current se... |
