| 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... | |
| Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers. I got several of these and had several others - all are great, so you really can’t go wrong, with most of your choices. And there is not a huge difference in the sound of your top choices. It’s more of a function of your space and your budget, bec... | |
| Upgrading to a Hegel H590 They also sound great with the McIntosh MA252 and MA352. But these are not tube amps. They are tube / SS hybrid amps with sufficient power to control the drivers of the Harbeths to add the clarity and resolution they cann present... IF... they'r... | |
| Upgrading to a Hegel H590 Yes... Harbeths are special when driven by the H590, or the H390, H360, H300. They need the power these amps produce to control their drivers, and add clarity and resolution to the sound. Their high damping factor really clears up the bass and m... | |
| What is the Best Amp.... to Mate With the Townshend Allegri Preamp? I can't believe the best active preamps are inferior to the Allegri Passive Preamp.... | |
| What is the Best Amp.... to Mate With the Townshend Allegri Preamp? They look very simple and unsubstantial... Are they? | |
| What is the Best Amp.... to Mate With the Townshend Allegri Preamp? I don't believe anyone has one... or... has one they think is worth comment. | |
| Danny Richie "fixes" the Linkwitz Arion loudspeaker @russbutton Me too... The only thing I might like better is the LX521, because its bridge helps tame the bass and prevents vibration transmission to the mids and tweeters.But... there are still few speakers that can match the later Orion's, for... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers Agreed - they sound awfully grand with the Linear Tube Audio amps! | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 "Me thinks you're beating a dead Harbeth..." Move on... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Just so you know... that is Harbeth Support speaking... not me. They are the ones that say they only use SS amps to design, voice, test and market their speakers, because they sound better to the general public when driven by the types of amps the... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 @aj523 What I’m saying is... very clearly... Harbeth shows their speakers with SS amps, and suggests you use a SS amp for the clearest sound from their speakers - you will often see them at shows driven by Hegel amps. And that has been my experien... | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 Have both the 30.1’s and 40.2’s and agree with Harbeth, which always demo them with SS amps for optimum clarity, resolution and dynamics, especially with Hegel amps. They need a lot of something... watts, volts or current to clear them up and soun... | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought Of those you listed:1. Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire or possibly the X5/X3 2. Magico S33. JBL 4700 - but, terrible resale value 50%, or less.But... my 1st choice would always be that of many recording studios...Legacy Focus SE/XD, or the ATC SCM50 or ... | |
| Solid states more accurate than tubes? Ralph,What are some of the speakers that sound especially accurate and good with Atma-sphere OTL amps? Some examples would be helpful to illustrate you're point.I recall the sound of the AudioKinesis Jazz Modules with your S-30 amp - which sounde... |
