Best small used monitors under $1000
I heard every speaker in the current Harbeth line except the P3ESR. I can’t imagine they sound bad:) I assume you are in Portugal. You may able to find a used P3ESR around $1000ish. Not in US though. 
Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS
@ryder That's what I was trying to say. Almost the same sound. I agree. However, I believe spending a good amount of money for an amp will make a difference. My amps almost sound the same. None of them has a huge advantage over another. I know Ala... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS
@ryder Hi, thanks for the reply. Wait a minute, I thought you no longer have the SHL5 and upgraded to the Plus version? Anyway, the reason why I was saying not so sure because the Nait 5si might not show the potential like I want to see. I really ... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS
I have heard the 40.1, 40.2, SHL5 Plus and Compact 7ES-3. I compared SHL5 Plus with Compact 7ES-3 in the same room/system. I liked the C7ES-3 better. I wish I could have a chance to compare the C7ES3 with my SHL5 before my purchase but I couldn't ... 
Best Vintage Dac??
Museatex Bitstream is my fav DAC. About 25 years old. I purchased it few months ago and enjoying it very much.  
Amp choice for Harbeth (SHL5)
Thanks Kenny.I also forgot to add. I say tubes but also thinking they may make the already warmish Harbeths even warmer. Wouldn’t want too thick sound. I wonder if I make sense when I say this combination?I say tubes because I am thinking they may... 
Opinions on Nuprime vs D-sonic vs Red Dragon vs Class D Audio
This is a question I would like to know the answer also. Hopefully, someone had a chance to compare.

Anti-cables alternatives
This is an old thread. I am also interested in alternative to Anti Cables. Anybody has any idea if this wire is any good? One reviewer says he does use it for audio. TEMCo 12 AWG Copper Magnet Wire - 1 lb 50 ft 200°C Magnetic Coil Winding https://... 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
OK guys. I am finally a proud owner of SHL5s (not Plus version). I found a very good deal on a barely used Tiger Ebony and had to get it! I will probably never know if Compact 7 is better than these also, but I know this; this one is better soundi... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
I felt bad and happy when I found this killer deal on a barely used SHL5 (not Plus) Harbeths. See, I was not too crazy for the SHL5 Plus version. Actually liked the Compact 7ES3 better. I have never heard the SHL5 before but I compared the 40.1 &a... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
Thanks again everyone for your recommendations. @cory1985 I have met Adrian years ago. Very funny guy and loves what he is doing. He did a demo. Can’t recall the model but I remember him trying to distort his mini (maybe should call micro) monitor... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
Notes from the wife :)Thanks everyone for the input! I really do leave these decisions to my audio geek - he can have whatever he wants and I just want him to be happy. Unfortunately for him, he has a burning urge to pass it through me for approva... 
Speaker recommendation for married couple
Thanks guys!I will try to answer most of your questions/comments. And if I miss some, I am sorry. I did mention the budget in my second post, $2000 used. Demo speakers are fine too. Just don't like to buy luxury items new. Very good question:) We ...
