| Your thoughts on this line up I would strongly suggest you include the Harbeth Compact 7. I don't think you will find a more musical loudspeaker. I've heard the Living Voice, Reference 3A and the Thiel 1.6. The best of these is the Reference 3A which begins to get at the integ... | |
| Cables with VPI Scout Thanks everyone. Raytheprinter, look forward to hearing your results. Meanwhile, I'll be looking into Discovery Cable. | |
| Cost Effective Audio Research Combo Thanks guys. Anyone have experience with the ARC 100.2? I'm thinking of that with the SP16. Can't do tube amp and need stuff that runs cool. Thoughts are appreciated. | |
| Tubes w/Harbeth Compact 7's I agree with Kkursula. Harbeths are NOT bright. | |
| Harbeth Compact 7's Rlmm:You may want to consider the Naim electronics for your Compact 7s. This combo is often recommended and used in the UK and my setup has provided some good tunes for the past several years. Depending on your budget, the new 150/112 would be a m... | |
| B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia? Wow! I always find it fascinating how differently people can respond to the same product. Bigpowerballs (win the lottery or something else?) found the Sophia's "The most analytical, COLDEST, uninvolving speakers ever made". I've listened to them e... | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo I'm not going to comment on the demo showdown, although I would agree with some of the posters that system synergy is a very important variable. I have listenend extensively to the Wilson Sophia driven with quality but not outrageously expensive e... | |
| Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim Try the Harbeth line. Excellent match with the Naim stuff. | |

| Are Wilson speakers I haven't read all the threads here but as to the original question--yes. I just spent about 3 hrs with the Wilson Sophia's and they are very, very musical. Probably the best speaker I've heard to date. Doesn't do all the audiophile stuff (i.e. im... | |
| Best value speakers available I have to agree with some of the postings above. I've been out auditioning speakers up to 10K and I haven't found anything as consistently musical and satisfying as the Harbeth Compact 7. They totally sound "right" and are soooo engaging. Deepest ... | |
| Anybody Heard the Vandersteen 5A'S I recently auditioned the Vandy 5A's and was very impressed indeed. I have been in the market to upgrade for over a year now and have not found a speaker in this price range that moved me the way these speakers did. Not the last word in resolution... | |
| REL stadium II vs. stadium III While I do not have experience directly comparing Stadium II and III, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that there is little practical difference and therefore the cost differential is not justified. The primary (only?) difference between ... | |
| How to tame the high of harbeth C7 As many have suggested, I don't think it's the Harbeths. They are lively indeed when the music requires but I would never call them bright. Check for problems up the chain. Happy listening, you have chosen really one of the best speakers out there... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7's and REL Subwoofer Thanks for your input. I got a Stadium II and it works super with my C7's. Now we are really talkin! |
