| DSP TO TAME THE BASS IN HARBETH SPEAKERS I do have DSPeaker Antimode 2.0, which I’m going to try... but... thought there may be others, which may do a better job. And... I have no interest in any DSP which provides a DAC and preamp, as the DSPeaker does - I need neither of those. And I h... | |
| DSP TO TAME THE BASS IN HARBETH SPEAKERS You need to see my other discussions for my complete set up - I've been through all the alternatives... and... have found the solutions. At this point, I'm just wanting to know the best DSPs to resolve bass bloat (which is primarily the result of... | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? #167Even tubes can improve the sound of Harbeths with SS amps. While I prefer the H360, H390, H590 with my 30.1's and 40.2's... I did try my Class D Audio (brand) SDS 470C amp yesterday, and found my Harbeths sounded about as impressive as with m... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers I'm driving my 40.2's and 30.1's with a combination of the Audio Research Ref 5se tube preamp and the Hegel H590 using the Schitt Yggdrasil R2R ladder DAC as the source. The sound is sublime in all respects. As it is when just using the dac, pre... | |
| Harbeth 40.2A - LFD NCSE Mk3 and Hegel H590 Compared By the way... I'm trying out my Class D Audio SDS 470C power amp this morning... and... it's also fantastic driving my Harbeth 40.2's and 30.1's. Still using the Schitt Yggy as the DAC, and the Audio Research Ref 5se as the tube preamp. This com... | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! Given your budget - that pretty much narrows it down to the LS50's - which are superb speakers! | |
| What is the Best Amp.... to Mate With the Townshend Allegri Preamp? Is the Townshend Allegri Passive Preamp... any good?I'll bet not - right? | |
| Harbeth 40.2A - LFD NCSE Mk3 and Hegel H590 Compared The Holo Audio May DAC being an R2R ladder DAC will sound a bit better than the H590 DAC, though the H590 DAC does sound good. As I perhaps noted... I'm using the Yggdrasil R2R DAC, because it sounds better to me, than the H590 DAC, also. I thin... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I should note... that the H590 does not route the external preamp directly to the amp of the H590, but to the preamp of the H590. So... while you can add some tube effects to the H590, you can do so only through the H590 preamp. But, you still g... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s Just get the H390 or H590 and be done with it! Very little else compares - believe me - thst’s what I’ve got!Want better? Get yourself a AFC 5se (or better) preamp and a Bryston or Benchmark or Parasound Halo amp.Harbeths never sounded better - ever! | |
| Harbeth 40.2A - LFD NCSE Mk3 and Hegel H590 Compared Yes... informative review... Have you tried the entire H590 system (the DAC, Preamp and Amp)? It’s great with the 40.2’s, or 30.1’s. And... better justifies the investment in the H590. I use the BNC digital connection with the Bryston BDP3 player,... | |
| Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies? If you want to add sparkle to any speaker you need these:http://www.townshendaudio.com/supertweeters/I got them for my Harbeths, and several other speakers... and... they do the job very well. Though, they are a bit pricey... but... worth it. | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 That is... if... you keep your Harbeths.Given your preferences - if you want to try tubes, you might find you prefer the sound of the Proac D2's driven by the Line Magnetic 518i, or similar. That combination is closer to what you describe you pre... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 It all depends on the type of sound you prefer: softer, warmer, less dynamic sound, or crisp, clear, dynamic sound. If you like the sound of the JBL’s you noted, you’re not going to get that with any Harbeth driven by a tube amp. The closest you m... | |
| Speakers which always sound good Have to agree with a couple of your responses...The Harbeth M30.1’s or 30.2’s with the Hegel H390 integrated amp.Or... a pair of one of these, if you have room size and location limitations - because they’re omnidirectional. https://ohmspeaker.com... |
