| The Harbeth phenomenon Hearing the real thing is always humbling. I used to be a drummer, so I have that “live” sound engrained in my DNA! Dynamics, clarity and an uncompressed sense of ease are first and foremost with me...tone and texture also must ring true. We al... | |
| Test Can I use my calculator? | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Sorry Valinar...forgot the IMHO!! Did not mean to cast that net over anyone else. I did go to my dealer to listen to the H40.1’s. They are very good, smooth and clear with great tone (Macintosh gear). My original thoughts were still validated ... | |
| The Science of Cables I’m sure you mean well Bo...keep your love of music and audio strong! Perhaps see a psychiatrist once in awhile, but otherwise keep living your dream:) | |
| The Science of Cables Like talking to a wall...a crazy wall...but still a wall! | |

| The Science of Cables Teo and Bo sound a bit off...as in slightly psychotic maybe? Working through their rambling manifesto’s was unsettling. Anyone else concerned for these two out patients? Reminds me of the alien abduction stories or Mandela effect/deep state con... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I have found that more power is usually a positive. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I as well attend live concerts, mostly classical. Been through many systems over the years...ridiculous amounts of money! There are many paths to satisfaction, various priorities and expectations. My current humble system delivers one of the mo... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Forgot to mention that I have auditioned Harbeth speakers at Overture Audio in DE. They were underwhelming by any measure...flat, lifeless and constricted dynamically. I believe many audiophiles choose speakers that are well behaved and inoffens... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I’m sorry Schubert...forgot that you were making the decisions for us! Thanks for clearing that up. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I found an exciting compromise myself. Took on trial, a pair of JBL 4429’s to replace a litany of uber expensive speakers that all inevitably left me cold. The 4429’s give me a nice full sound, filled with dynamic drive and extension without har... |
