| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help Dan, I think much of what you say is true--and I will take it as a warning. When folks refer to any component as a good "reviewers tool" it raises in my mind the "great divide" that seems to exist within the community--between those that are into ... | |
| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help Dan--most assuredly not an indictment of the speaker. I think it speaks to the essential musicality of the design. I'm not sure that I would classify any speaker as great (or even acceptable) that only "worked" with the right combination of select... | |
| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help Grills on. I'm using custom made Target 19" stands--with the spikes it raised the speaker 20" from the floor. I had the top plate cut so it would fit just inside the dimensions of the speaker. They look great and work very well. Sound Anchor can d... | |
| Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that? I know I'll be in the minority here but I personally do not think they are "all that". I did an extensive audition and found the bass, while deep and quite powerful, to lack pitch definition and speed. It was noticably "unnatural" sounding in the ... | |
| Your "DREAM" piece I'd (nearly) kill for a pair of Wilson-Benesch ACT's. They would go real nice with my system and room decor. Please don't anyone ask this question again--its depressing! Hey Beemer--what model? I've got a 73tii Colorado Orange. | |
| The song you just cant stop playing??? Geeze, I couldn't get through ONE play of "Tambourine" the recording was so G-D awful. I sold it before I even played side two. What a disappointment after "Bramble Rose" which had good tunes and was pretty well recorded. Tift changed producers an... | |
| Harbeth M30 I would suggest you move away from the Naim equipment. I drove my Compact 7's with a 62/HiCap/140 for a number of years and then switched to ARC tube pre and solid state amp combo. Biggest improvement I have ever made to my system. The Naim does n... | |
| Review: Harbeth 7ES-2 & Monitor 30 Monitor I auditioned the D25 recently and commented more extensively on another thread. A very nice speaker, indeed. | |
| Review: Harbeth 7ES-2 & Monitor 30 Monitor Steev-n. Interesting--the guide and my experience are at odds. Oh well, who can figure with all the different variables of room acoustics, material construction, etc. Don't deny the wild hair--you won't regret it! | |
| Review: Harbeth 7ES-2 & Monitor 30 Monitor Steev-n. I think most people who have heard both the C7 and the Monitor 30 prefer the latter. As I said in my post, I haven't heard the speaker. Knowing what I know about the C7 and HL5, I'm sure it is fantastic. The point of my post was to indica... | |
| Review: Harbeth 7ES-2 & Monitor 30 Monitor Great review! Thanks for putting in the time. The Monitor 30 and C7 were compared a while ago by Bob Neill at enjoythemusic.com and I'm not sure whether your review or that one is more thorough and enjoyable to read. Perhaps a second career in the... | |
| Lucinda Williams Fans? Huge fan. I've seen her a number of times in concert, all in small venues before she got "big". I'm still wondering who I lent my "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" cd to--they must of liked it cause I never got it back. I was excited to hear about a n... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? I have to agree with Zkzpb8. Overall I thought the sound at the show was pretty bad. I can only think of one or two rooms where I was really enjoying what was going on and the Vandy room by Audio Connection was, IMHO, clearly the best. Most of wha... | |
| Everyone Knows About Jacintha, Right? She has her place, and I'm in it right now. | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Jeff, I totally accept your position. Having initiated the thread on crossover design (on which you were a gracious participant) I just thought it interesting to go back and forth between the rooms and listen to the two top models of reputable bra... |
