Bi wiring Harbeth Super HL5's
I owned these speakers for 2+ years and tried the biwiring option once and heard no difference. I will add that the biwire cable was a different brand so the comparision may not of been very valid. BTW the SHL5's are some of the most enjoyable lis... 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Rx8man,I should first say that I really like the Nuforce amps and was very satisfied with them. Bill says it better than I can in that it does not sound like tubes or SS just great music. When you hear live music in most situations it does not sou... 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Rx8man,I just recently purchased the TRL M225 mono blocks and with only 100 hours on them they are the best amps I have ever heard. I owned the Nuforce and the TRL's are in another league. I have not heard the ST225 so I can't compare the two but ... 
Review: SMc VRE-1 Preamplifier
Dott_c,Very nice review. I am planning on purchasing a VRE-1 in a few months. Just read the 6 moons review today and the reviewer is agreeing with you on the best he has heard. Steve does great work. 
Best Integrated, period.
TRL! A few have posted the TRL integrated, I own the TRL mono blocks and I can't image a better sounding integrated. 
What amp to replace BAT VK-250 w/Dali & Aesthetix?
Mimberman,I owned the Pass 250.5 and it is an excellent amp. I now own a Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks and they are the best amps I have ever heard. I have owned tube, SS, Class D, expensive and moderately priced and TRL is in another class... 
What did you replace your Aerial 10T's with?
Tinear,I know your speakers very well and they are very good, I also owned the EMC-1 CDP which is also very good. You might want to try different cables. I owned the blue heavens which I thought were good until I tried better cabling and then foun... 
What is the best speaker for a smallish room?
Harbeth's 7's or 5's. 
Ref 3A Veena - Devore Gibbon 8 - Audiophysic Yara
You should really listen to the Harbeth's SH5's. I owned them for two years and they are the most musical speaker in their price range I have ever heard. Very easy to drive, sounds great with tubes & SS. They don't go real deep but they just s... 
conrad johnson CT6 with solid state amp
I have the CT6 paired with the Nuforce 9.02 ssamp and the combo works great. Everytime I think about upgrading I put a CD on and wonder how my system could sound better without spending a small fortune. I have not compared the CT6 to other CJ pre ... 
E.A.R. Acute Reliability
Airfla,You made a great choice with the Modwright. I own this model from Dan and the sound is outstanding. The Modwright replaced a Audio Aero Capitole 2 and it wasn't even close, Modwright all the way. I have had the Modwright 9100 ES for almost ... 
Has anyone heard the new Pass Integrated?
Anyone? 
Which integrated amp with Harbeths?
I own the Harbeths Super HL5's and drive them with the Nuforce 9.02. They sound great. If you haven't bought a new amp for the Harbeth's the Nuforce is a must try. 
Anyone heard Harbeth HL5s with Nuforce?
I have the HL 5's connected to the Nuforce 9.02 and they sound great. Great dynamics, clarity and sound stage. I am very happy with this combination. 
best sounding small speakers
Harbeth's - I have owned monitors from B&W, Merlin, Tyler Acoustics, Dynaudio, and other large and much more expensive full range speakers the Harbeths sound like music. I own the SL5's and their other models have a simular sound. Harbeths are...
