Recommended amplification Dynamics, size of stage and image can be sacrificed. It can be hard to know unless you try higher power. Simple example I had a pair of Harbeth's with a 12 watt tube amp. Sounded great but really came alive with 80 watts or more. Missed that tube... | |
What to fill Skylan stands with for Harbeth SHL5s I had a pair for a pair Harbeth's. Never put anything in them but did see this from Skylan about wood pellets: https://www.skylanstands.com/info.html | |
Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be I bought a pair of dealer owned Forte speakers and enjoyed them for 6 months. They're a little more hifi IMO than the Cornwall but not quite as fun. I wouldn't ship these the boxes are not rated for multiple use and the speakers are not terribly s... | |
REL S510 or S812 Reason would say this line has been out for about 4-5 years. Are they clearing the inventory for a new launch? | |
REL S510 or S812 Yes! Thanks for the reply. I somewhat jokingly write these things but there is an undercurrent to music, almost at the atmospheric level, that is great to connect to. I had a pair of Verity Parsifal Anniversary that held this space well. It really... | |
REL S510 or S812 SVS is sealed. Great sub. Leaning toward the 812 at least I’d say. | |
REL S510 or S812 Can you feel the bones in your ears rattle? | |
REL S510 or S812 I'm looking at either the 510 or the 812. Rel is having a sale this weekend $500 off the mid-line S series. I'm running lower powered tubes and Devore speakers. I love bass that envelops the room and crack the pavement in my driveway. I'm a produc... | |
Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? @vinylvalet Follow the money trail like everything else. | |
Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp Lot's of the audio reviewed guys speak highly of the Buchardt's, but I'd put $100 on the Harbeth's. I've owned the C7 and they are great speakers. | |
Any regrets in selling gear? I can't get rid of tubes. I just stop listening over time. Need an 18inch sub. | |
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… I recently sold a pair of Harbeth C7ES3XD speakers, the latest model, and they left a strong impression. Having owned more than 20 pairs of speakers, I can confidently say these stand out. They achieve a remarkable balance in the mid/upper frequen... | |
Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? I owned the 501SP for about 8 months. I like to try different brands and this pair came up locally at a price I found reasonable. I paid around $3300, met seller 1/2 way. I have mixed feelings about them but for the price I ended up selling them ... | |
Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp @gareents Looks like part of his criteria is under $3000. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of your recs under $3K used. Good choices you have though. | |
Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp I've been through all sorts of speakers from B&W to Verity. 20 years ago I bought a pair of Devore Super 8's and loved them. Kept them a year and went through the line, moved to Verity, Harbeth etc. back and forth, Daedalus, etc... I recently... |
