| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Hi Bill,You have no plans to modify your Harbeths, this is a first for you. I wonder how long you can resist reaching for your soldering iron 😊😊. What amplifier are you using to drive them?Charles, | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Hi Bill (Grannyring ),You have extensive experience modifying many different audio products. What do you think of the stock crossover in your Harbeths? Are you tempted to do any mods on them? Charles, | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Calloway, Man oh man I'd love to hear your Grails 😊I can’t imagine that you'd ever replace them.Charles, | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA Bo,I share your viewpoint in regard to difficult to drive and fussy speaker attributes. Horses for courses as they say. C, | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA Hi ricred1,I do understand the point you and Bo are making, it can be said truthfully that Wilsons aren't suited for everyone (no speaker is). I'm just accepting that the OP has sorted this out and has determined however the Sasha is the best sp... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA Hi Bo,The OP wrote "I love Sasha" so clearly he's quite happy with these speakers. I appreciate that you aren't enamored with them but that's besides the point in this case. He just wants a good amplifier match for them. Charles, | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Jakecanada,There are so many brands of speakers available and at all price points. It is a buyer's marketplace and you'll be able to find precisely what you want if you're patient. The only criteria I consider important is "how does it sound ?" Te... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Infection, Calloway has the good fortune to own the spectacular Chalice Grail PSET amplifiers. My gut tells me that they would sound sublime. I doubt that there are more than just a few in existence, they are truly rare and unique. Okay I’m done ... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA Hi Al, You are correct, it does transition to class B to provide more power and SET amplifiers certainly aren't capable of a differential balanced circuit. I don't know why I overlooked those two glaring factors. What is fascinating is the review... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA This is a case where an audition of the Cary 211 parallel SET with the Sasha is a must before purchasing. In the Stereophile review cited by George , Art Dudley said his Shindo 25 watt tube amplifier was really quite special driving these speakers... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Hello larbo53,I use the same power cord as this at the time was recommended by the builder Chris. It surely has served me well, but like you I'm very tempted by the high current Cerious Graphene cable. Lak and Calloway's reports have gotten my at... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank, Fair enough, Belafonte isn't a blues singer. In this instance though it comes off good overall and is an enjoyable listen. It is helped along by the accompanying musicians and the sound quality. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "The room came alive with musical emotion " David that is what I have been experiencing ever since I got my 300b SET amplifier (in 2009). There are so many brands available I'm very happy to hear that you found a great sounding one.Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Joe,Thanks for your kind words. If you consider the sheer length and huge number of posts on this thread it has remained remarkably on focus. Many people have become aware of a really nice worthwhile audio tweak. Frank, Funny that you mention t... |
