| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following 11-13-12: BobheinatzI owned the 5's and it always was enjoyable. It drew you into the music. Someday I will own a Harbeth again. I also owned the 5's for a short time and Bob's comments sum up my feelings as well. It took me a few days to settle i... | |
| Where did you go after Harbeth? Replaced SHL5's with Clearwave Symphonia 72R's. I greatly enjoyed my Harbeth's, but the 72R's resolve better, as others have experienced, and the midrange was recessed in the 5's comparably. | |
| Upgrade to Macintosh MA7000 or Luxman L507u? The A5 is a nice piece. For me, I would chose the Luxman over the Mac. | |
| Luxman vs. Accuphase Hgeifman, if you found the Luxman 550 to be a great match with your speakers and CDP, no need to second guess yourself. Unless one has hard to drive speakers, 20 watts is more than enough. Furthermore, the Luxman integrated amps are excellent amps... | |
| Clearwave Speakers? The speakers were actually voiced for loud, aggressive and dynamic Rock music.Seems like an odd statement. If I cared I would ask Jed. | |
| Clearwave Speakers? I had a Mac 402/46 combo with W/P 7's that was a bit laid back with a recessed mid-range. I must say it was suggested that I swap out the C46 but I was too stubborn, something I greatly regret. | |
| Clearwave Speakers? Well, those speakers from RMAF are in my living room and I can say without question that they were not fully broken in; I was looking to sell them the first week.May be true Mapmn; that said, I have had some systems that were laid back. I suspect ... | |
| Clearwave Speakers? J_fav, those speakers were not broken in, they later changed a lot. I do not find them laid back. | |
| Clearwave Speakers? I also own these and am quite pleased. Furthermore, I find the RAAL to be fantastic. It took some time for the Accuton's to break in, but the RAAL amazed me from the first listen and still does. | |
| Clearwave Symphonia 72R Speakers I haven't had any other experience with speakers using Accuton drivers. | |
| B&W 804D vs 803S Mr_m, my comments were not directed to you; I was asking the original poster if he was working with a local dealer. | |
| B&W 804D vs 803S Is this a local dealer? If it is you should be able to get some kind of home audition. If this will not work out, take your speakers to the dealer for a compare, it'll be worth it in the end. | |
| Clearwave Symphonia 72R Speakers Jed became quite well known by the DIY crowd with his designs and has decided to enter the speaker market himself. Besides quality drivers, Jed uses very good cross-over parts as well. | |
| Clearwave Symphonia 72R Speakers I have a set, I have had them since November. My first experience with Clearwave speakers was when my friend brought his Minuet M72's over and I was very pleased with those, I think they are a great speaker. Note: I experienced a bit of a bump in ... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Maybe we are just quiet? :) |
