| Klipsch Heritage Range @tjnindc was that a rogue sphinx 1 you found noisy? Mine was very noisy and could be readily heard several feet from speakers with 89dB sensitivity. | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? i see Steve guttenberg talks with the sphinx designer where he says some V1 units (1-2%) had an issue with noise related to DC offset? anyway not sure if that was something that could have been rectified back then but aggravatingly I did trade min... | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? when I got my first stereo I wish the seller had been less concerned with ensuring that the cable was put in the right way (and I was forever after terrified of putting it the wrong way incase I bust my system!) and more concerned with perhaps let... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon depending on the model and tax added (UK tax already in the price) in the US harbeths do seem considerably more damaging on the pocket, to be expected to some degree, the P3 and compact 7 seem for some reason to be less inflated than the 30 and 5.... | |
| Production of Harbeth anniversary edition speakers sold out!! the XD line also has a pretty significant price hike and might be even more noticeable for overseas buyers. For what might be subtle change/improvements prior owners might be less ready to change out their regular/anniversary versions (I know Sha... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue what I notice on this topic is that when listening to recordings posted on youtube if the track is from vinyl you can often tell as there is obvious woofer pumping, I assumed wrongly that a signel might have been high passed to get rid of some ver... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue years ago I lost a bass unit on a rega jura. The combination of TT, room, track and record warps led to a loop that saw the drivers very quickly oscillate more and more until the paper cone literally tore open around the center area, this took les... | |
| Great Rock System on the Cheap (ish)! years ago I was powering a pair of CV's with a naim nait 3 and whilst the volume seemed to jump quickly with the naits high input sensitivity it very quickly would distort. I wondered incorrectly why the speakers could not handle the 30W or so of ... | |
| Subwoofer rumble issue for better of for worse I use EQ on my power amp (crown xti) to make a high pass filter that slopes steep below 30Hz, this removes any subsonics from record warps. If I place the needle down on the record you see the cone bounce without the filter... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? I've always been curious about PA sound as it can often provide a very immersive sound, at volume that somehow is not fatiguing. Is this due to frequency balance/sensitivity? I note many PA set ups do not try to reproduce low bass (using a filter ... | |
| To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs... @drommeI see you changed? from klipsch to harbeth compact 7. I have the C7es3 and appreciate their dark? and unfatiguing character, I really like how they work with film and tv shows giving a natural presentation for voices and ambient sounds, how... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? I use harbeth Compact7 which I find easy to listen to for music and movies, dynamics are ultimately limited and bass is sort of 'woody' but I find them pleasant for moderately loud listening and not planning on moving them on, however I'm interest... | |
| Tekton or Klipsch the mention of volume settings is interesting an I'm familiar with many amps coming to full power early on in the rotation with cd for eg, I have often wondered how with a speaker of say 95+ dB sens. how you can get anywhere near practical low vol... | |
| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? donvito, I own the 3’s but when heard other small speakers like the ls50 I still find them competent (however I did not hear the 50 at home so the comparison might well be moot) I just wonder if the harbeth is the best value proposition when consi... | |
| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? I feel the p3s work well close, providing a coherent, balanced sound, however unless one is absolutely in love with the sound I'd say that the 3's (at least after import) are expensive compared to probably many other suitable speakers that will wo... |
