| Do Harbeth speakers really need a 4000 damping factor? I had the C7esXP with a Supernait 3 it was a great combo but when I tried to play them "loud" with any bass music the baskets would bottom out. I only did it twice before realizing they’re perfect for most music but don’t excel in others. Kind of ... | |
| Adventures With Subwoofers I had the same speaker with an SVS 16 and thought it really helped steady the image and deepen the experience. Mayne my hearing is off and I didn't notice the nuances, or maybe room dependent as it mostly is. Some of those Rel subs are not rated ... | |
| The death of ultra hiend audio It seems to be in this category the company must compete on the world stage, marketing around the globe and have strong brand recognition. If one economy, market sector, bad international distributer stumbles another one is set up to pick up the p... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? What if I identify as HEA? | |
| Leben cs 600 preamplifier tubes Yes, I owned a 600 several years ago when the 6CS7 was more readily available. I found slight differences in tone and soundstage, but you really need to have your system placed well and dialed in to make it worthwhile. I liked the RCA best. I was... | |
| Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room. I've found most speakers can work very well as long as the listening seat is flexible. You have to be open to moving everything around and see what sounds best. A pair of Verity Parsifal monitors would be really nice and are sometimes found with... | |
| Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold SP….beat dealer? I bought my 501SP's used for $3400, which I thought at the time was a good value. O sold them for $2200 with barely any interest. I'd agree that they don't hold value. | |
| Fyne Audio Vintage Classic Gold SP….beat dealer? Take a look at the Devore o/96 too. The Fyne’s do look really nice. Never heard them but I did own the 501SP and found them a little laid back for my preferences, but very different speaker. | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? If anything he will be slightly geeky, will talk to much and if you start talking a tweaks you will never get rid of him. I've never had a worrisome experience. Lengthy yes, and I agree with the above, he might decide not to buy if you hook them... | |
| Old SS amps Years ago my dad gave me his MC2125 and C28. I had them serviced and find them fun to listen to but lack the clarity of more modern amps. That said I’d rather listen to this pair over many sub $2500(I think equal value after you pull out the nosta... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? It’s hard to tell when recorded through an Iphone 4. But beautiful, you've all done well for yourselves! I had to call the police on the last guy that listened to my system. He just couldn’t leave. | |
| How competitive are you with your system? @mwinkc I only know people with the best ears. They come listen and they won't leave. I can't get them out. They will tell you. :) | |
| How competitive are you with your system? My system is the best system ever. We’re talking tone like you wouldn’t believe. Texture is off the charts. Soundstage? So wide it makes your living room feel like Madison Square Garden. I’ve had audiophiles — big-time people, very serious ears —... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Got the paddles out for this thread. I was going to chime in on the tariff thread, but it got a bit heated and was shut down. I’ve been buying and selling gear for nearly 30 years—more than most, but probably modest compared to some here. Early o... | |
| White cabinet popularity? I had a pair of Verity Leonore in White and they were beautiful. Paired with my Leben cs600x they played with style. The words nimble, rich, detailed come to mind. I soon went after the newer Otello. These had a better foundation and I found ... |
