| Everything a crossover has to do ... very well said- and not understood by many. Some of those functions are not necessarily available in active systems and as such people assume active is always better which is not the case. Amateur application of bi-amping with DSP for example mi... | |
| You went from Harbeth P3's to Compact 7's, and... I owned the C7ES3s for almost 3 years and was sorry AFTER I sold them. Their sound can be near the most pleasing of any speaker I have heard regardless of price. My room was medium / large and they loved the power of my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum... | |
| My Harbeth C7ES-3 story... Congrats Kray on the great deal and new speakers! I owned the ES3's for the better part of three years and really loved their sound. Hauntingly magical with high powered tubes (my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II. Soundstage, vocal clarity and real... | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. Harbeth C7ES3. Can stand up to the sound of any speaker regardless of cost. Rich, natural, un-fatiguing yet highly detailed. Imaging and sound stage are incredible. Uncanny voice realism. Integrate with subwoofers exceptionally well because of the... | |
| speaker break in @kenjit I bet you have never purchased a new subwoofer ! @jljYI have ha this happen too. a set of PSB towers became overly bass dominant after 2-1/2 years. Sold 'em. A recent set of Spendor towers took 250 hrs to sound really good and they were... | |
| Audio Kinesis Swarm Subwoofer Awarded 2019 Golden Ear Award by Robert E. Greene Congrats on the award and the idea of applying sound theories and principals that resulted in a product that stretches the envelope of home audio performance. I have successfully integrated one and two subwoofer solutions into my system when the ... | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? The P3s like every other Harbeth speaker develop more bass and a smoother high end as they accumulate hours. As for the KEF LS50 comparison I owned them and could never get rid of the metallic sound quality although it did minimize. They definitel... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7 @greenapplethe D7s need a lengthy break in. I owned them and found them to sound as you describe for the first 200 hours or so. After 4 months they sounded spectacular. | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following @mapman every harbeth model can convey a sense of vocal clarity and realism because that it the mission of their BBC heritage- to reproduce voices in a clear, uncolored natural presentation. Of the several times listening to the 40.1 and 40.2 I f... | |
| Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr? they need at least 200 hours for the bass response to mature. the P3s are not a bright speaker by any means and can really rock with enough quality watts. | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 you truly don't know what you've got until it's gone with the C7ES3. they gave me so many moments where I just marveled at the sound and never anything to be irritated about. but like a bonehead i had to complain about some slightly excessive en... | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 The C7ES3 treble is incredible and best in the Harbeth line IMHO. Possibly the nicest sounding application of an aluminum dome that I have ever heard- natural but with a shimmering amount of air that adds trailing edge detail without going too fa... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts The 40.2s require lots of space (five feet plus) from back and side walls and a very robust amplifier to avoid sounding bloated. | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 I owned the C7ES3 for the better part of three years. Position them right, use good quality stands and you will have one of the best sounding speakers on the market regardless of price. | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts The SHL5+ is the speaker I should have bought a long time ago.....currently about 30+ hours into a new set and could not be happier. Bass extension, impact and balance in the sound is perfect. Midrange is legendary and the high frequencies have... |
