| Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions? Sorry correction to my most recent post - my stands have 4 pillars each, not 2. | |
| Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions? Hi Salectric - I'm using fairly heavy, 2-pillar stands custom made by my Spendor dealer which are about 18 inches high and whose pillars are filled with Atacama's Atabites. I think these stands are modelled after Skylans.I believe some people reco... | |
| Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions? Thanks Larryi and Salectric. Larryi - I too prefer the classic Spendor sound over Harbeth. I previously owned two Harbeths - the P3ESR and 30.1 but ended up selling both after about a year each. In both cases, their replacements were Spendors whic... | |
| Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions? A quick update - am thoroughly enjoying the Spendors. Incredibly musical speakers that allow for hours of non-fatiguing listening.Thanks to Dayglow and Dave_72. All the best guys... | |
| Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions? Thanks Dayglow. I've decided to go with the Spendors. | |
| Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions? Thanks Dayglow, you have voiced exactly what I was thinking!The conventional wisdom is that Harbeth is less fussy/more forgiving and has better resale value, but every Spendor I've listened to seems to me to have better soul and musicality. | |
| Electrocompaniet ECI-5 MK2? A very nice sounding, well-built amp. I listened to it against the Naim SuperNait 2 and the Musical Fidelity M6i and found it to be superior in most aspects to the other two. Really good value for money, in my view. The wide soundstage referred to... | |
| Jeff Rowland Aeris or Bricasti M1? Thanks for the input guys, auditions are called for! | |
| Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode Quick update for those interested in this topic - if the HT (high throughout) is engaged on the DAC 2, then the unit will not switch off after 5 mins when placed in standby mode. Instead the lights will continue to flash indefinitely. | |
| Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts? Quick update - got the PM11-S3 and am very happy with it. Beautifully warm and punchy sound and boy, the build quality is amazing - this amp weighs 60lbs!! | |
| Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode Hi John, thanks and yes, I've been communicating with Rory (sales manager). He said his unit works the same as mine but isn't sure if this means both our units are faulty, so he's asked their tech guys to look into it and will get back to me.Probl... | |
| Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode Thanks guys. I'm still waiting for Benchmark to reply to me on whether the unit is faulty or not.Jsd52756 - are the lights on your unit still flashing? | |
| Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts? Thanks very much guys, looks like resistance is futile! PS Speakers are the Joseph Audio Pulsars. | |
| Integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars Great suggestions guys - thanks very much! I hadn't thought of Hegel but now it'll be on my radar. The other option at roughly the same cost of course, is to add a Musical Fidelity M6 power amp and biamp the speakers... | |
