Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off?
I prefer the way they look without the grills on.  I keep them off my P3ESR but have left them on my Super HL5 Plus for the most part, mainly because they are in a high traffic area. I know they don't offer a lot of protection against an accidenta...

I'm glad I picked up that Chris Cornell collection recently.  One of my friends has one of his guitars.   https://vimeo.com/335476481?fbclid=IwAR3YuI8evKvoWO0-R5S5Hh9FHKGccEEUhsBAkM4WLuvSuNggcZSEl-x6jPM

@twoleftears We have a saying at our local camera Meetup Group (which is inactive now) - If it's Black and White, it's art!

Photography.  At least we got past the analog vs. digital debate (for the most part).

I have a clear vinyl pressing of A New World Order.  Translucent purple would be cool.  I know colored vinyl has some pitfalls, but I enjoy it.  I just picked up a red copy of Steely Dan - Aja.  Haven't had a chance to listen yet.

What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers?

D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef?
I call my system "Frankenstein".  Lots of compromises due to space limitations and budget.  Thankfully it works a lot better than Frankenstein's monster.I've heard the D'agostino M400 monoblocks at Echo Audio in Portland, in their old space which ...

I've kind of been on an Alan Parsons Project kick lately...  The Definitive Collection, Qobuz. 
What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers?
I have used my Super HL5 Plus with Rogue Audio M-180 monoblocks (180 WPC) and currently ARC VSi55 integrated (50 WPC), both are tubed.  I use solid state with my Harbeth P3ESR - Simaudio 600i (125 WPC).  I agree that you don't need a ton of power....
