| Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III I have owned Harbeth 7 es III and had Dyna's in my house for 3 wks, only listened to them for 2. To me, Harbeth= music and Dynaudio = Hifi. Its to each his own. I also agree, that to make Dyna's sound their best it is going to take time/financial ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs. Harbeth S-HL5 What are you using for an amp? Harbeth's need more power than the AZ. I have had Adagio and Harbeth compact7, can't comment on the hl5. I think the Adagio is a really great speaker especially with tubes, but may sound a little cold with SS..IMHO. ... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 I guess it's just typical of this "hobby" everyone has a different opinion, even on a topic this narrow. I have read countless threads and reviews, talked to 4 different dealers and everyone has a different opinion. Two of the 4 dealers thought th... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Chashas1,It says above, it was the most current model.ThanksMike | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Pubul57Just for point of reference I heard the Merlins with Dehavilland gear...they are just not my thing. Jim, I have talked to 3 dealers, basically getting different answers from each. If I had to tally up votes from dealers/ agoner's/reviewers,... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Pubul57,I don't care for Merlin or anything on the bright side. MHO!!!Mike | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 My musical tastes lean toward "little girl w/guitar" music, some Dire Straits, but mostly female vocal. Once in awhile a Stevie Ray or even ac/dc finds it way into the cdp, but that's only for moments, not hrs. | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Thankyou for the responses. Maybe I should have worded the question different. I would like to get the M30's because of their size and the soft dome tweeter. I should ask if that's a mistake vs the hl5. Some say that the hl5 is the sweet spot in t... | |
| Harbeth M30 vs. Super HL5 Kevin set me up with a Cary sli-80 and Coincident PEII's and its a great system. I have heard them with other speakers like Acoustic Zen, also very good. I think speakers need to be a least 6ohm and 89, higher sensivity. | |
| Coincident Super Eclipse iii internal wiring Jetrexpro, It depends on your definition of better! There will be a lot more resolution, but it comes with a lot more treble energy, that I did not care for. You got more bandwidth which was nice and more clarity.Cheers,Mike | |
| Harbeth vs Proac I appreciate the responses. As usual everyone has a opinion and I need to listen for myself. I will have to travel to hear proacs. Some of the commentary about 7's being better than the much more expensive 30's is troubling. But it's not the first... | |
| Harbeth vs Proac I have owned the newest 7's, I liked them, but they lacked the resolution of my Coincident. The midrange, just like everyone else says, is still the best I have heard. I have been thinking about the 30's, because of the better tweeter, but they ma... | |
| "upgrade" from Cary SLI 80 F1 edition Vdg, Just find a local tech to switch the caps. It's not a big deal. Just order the caps from Chris and take the unit to a local tech that can solder and you will be good to go!It's really a very simple mod, but with big time results.Mike | |
| "upgrade" from Cary SLI 80 F1 edition Vdg,Before you sell it, you might try this, by the way I am on my 3rd SLI-80. Get rid of the Jensen oil caps and put in V-caps. Call Chris Vanhaus, he is great to work withIt's a cheap, but substantial upgrade. You will get more bandwidth, both en... | |
| Cary 306/200 - What next? You should try Esoteric! I had a 306sacd and the Esoteric pounded into the dirt. It was only a Esoteric sa-60 and they have much better cdp than that one.Mike |
