Drubin. Feel free to email me off the thread to share your views. 
Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ?
Drubin. You got the Super HL5's and haven't told us what you think???? Perhaps it is because you are still breaking them in. Don't leave us in the dark--I have high hopes for you and those puppies.Relative to the thread: Yeah, Harbeth's rock in th... 
Norah Jones?
Anyone see the spoof commercial done on Mad TV? Really pokes fun at the sameness of her tunes. FWIW I really like to unwind to her records--not serious listening material but sets the mood right on Friday after a long week. I happen to think the r... 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Tomryan. Try John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. He may be willing to help. 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Drubin. I listened to the SCM 35 as part of my search. Nice speaker. Nothing extraordinary there, IMHO. The Harbeth's are better by a significant margin. I'm trying to find something that will exceed the Harbeth's by a good margin--otherwise, why ... 
VPI Scout Belt Noise
Interesting note. I emailed Mike at VPI when at the same time I put up the post. He said to put a little lightweight machine oil on your finger, rub it in and then touch the inside of the belt while the plattter is spinning. Totally new paradigm! ... 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Drubin. I am drooling at the thought. However, if you follow the HUG posts Alan Shaw seems to have some serious reservations about building a floorstander that can compete sonically with the monitors. He is all about panel resonances and seems to ... 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Drubin. You will be surprised. In my experience, the Harbeth's resolve detail in an extraordinarily natural fashion. The first time I heard the Compact 7 I thought I was listening to an electrostatic speaker--such was the unboxiness and level of d... 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Drubin. I would be very surprised if the HL5's did not give you everything you are after. I have been listening to a lot of speakers over the past 18 months and I don't think there is currently anything better on the market (sub 10K) than those. E... 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Tomryan. I'd be interested in your views on the Proac 2.5 as I am looking for a floorstander to replace my Compact 7s. I am thinking of the 2.5 or new D25 as a possibility. After you get the Monitor 30's or C7's up and running I'd be interested in... 
VPI Scout Belt Noise
Janikian. Did it. Stopped the noise. Thanks. 
Harbeth Owners - What do you think?
Tomryan:I'm going to take the quick way out and second what was said above--particularly Arnold's spot on assessment. I've owned C7ES for over 6 years now and love them to bits. Clinical? Absolutely, positively, no friggin way. Quite the opposite.... 
Best Floorstander Under 10K?
Thanks, Classicaudio. I am interested in the D38. I heard the 3.8 once and liked it very much. How does the new series D38 compare? There hasen't really been much out there about the new series. 
Anyone Heard the DeVore Silverbacks?
Pragmatism, thanks for the lengthy and informative post. I recently auditioned the Silverbacks at In Living Stereo and agree that they are nice speakers indeed. However, my timing was not very good as I went during the week of CES and the dealer h... 
REL strata vs. storm and room size
Riverside13--just to finish the thread above as I had to cut it short. What I was trying to convey at the end is that no matter how good the Rel Stadium (or other quality sub) are, I have learned by experience that for two channel audio a subwoofe...
