Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
Regarding the X3's, I shouldn't be running subs according to the manufacturer of my integrated. I currently use RCA's spades at one end and resistors on the other inside the RCA jacks. I do not have preouts on my integrated.  But I'm told that's a...

The X3's have built-in 15" powered subwoofers.  
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
Some nice suggestions. Thank you all. First, I'm not flush with cash. The Harbeths are $13.6K. But they won't work in my room. My audio buddy told me the Vandersteen Quatro's CT's sounded lifeless and dull. I for one think he just had one of tho...

I may give those Vandersteen Quatro CT's a try.  
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I'm playing the Buchardt's with 2 subs. They're my 'upstairs' speakers that found there way downstairs. They sound great in my 'main' system but ultimately, they are too small for the room and I don't wish to use subs unless for the very bottom of...

Tannoy's are beautiful. One could be happy just looking at them turned off. Would have to hear them in person, I probably have for all the audio shows I've attended. Buchardt's right? They're killing me, I want to grow them in size, and no, not t...

I have the Allnic T2000 30th Anniversary using the KT170's. I've written a review on this integrated stating that its sound signature was more like a class A solid state amplifier, than a tube amplifier. It is not at all euphonic to our ears. Wit... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
decooney, TMR's sales guy owns the Harbeth 40 and thought it would work well in my room with my amp. It is too big of a purchase to go by one opinion and AG is the place to go for actual experience and knowledge. I asked Allnic regarding the damp...

veroguy. These speakers have definitely piqued my interest. I've always respected Terry London's reviews.  Tyler acoustics; I actually owed a pair, custom built by Tyler Acoustics. They were big and beautiful with custom outboard cross-overs that... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
What I meant by writing "size does not matter" is that I'm not concerned with how big a speaker is in my room, only that it plays well. And the consensus is that the 40.3 is simply too big for my room. I'm thinking of the Devore Fidelity Silverb... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I would have 14 days to return them. I would lose on shipping costs, that's it. Yes, I'm often losing my ass on audio purchases, even used, but I'm gaining experience and knowledge (like I know anything after 57 years in this hobby). My room was... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I haven't found our audio room to pose any problems at all. That being said, I would like to REW to see if there are any serious nasties going on. I've had 4 different pairs of speakers in that room. Usher Tower XL Spatial X3 Buchardt S400 MK ... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
Thanks for the great responses.  Allow me to expand on where I'm at with this purchase. For starters, the 40.3 XD is $13.6 used. Now it doesn't matter the price if they won't work in my room, with my electronics and the music we enjoy. Listening... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I'm a bit concerned that my 150wpc tube power may not be enough. On the other hand, the Allnic is not your typical tube amp.  I just don't want to get my passion for this integrated in the way of finding synergy with speakers.  I have no real ex... 
Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take
Why the Pro-ject RS2-T? Really good question actually. It's a journey, right? Started with vinyl (still there), then 8 track, cassette, then perfect sound forever (CD) and now digital.  I have a large CD library. These have been ripped to a NAS...
