| Harbeth Super HL5+...thoughts Anyone compared them with the current Spendor Classic series, their natural competitor? Very interested in the Classic 1/2, asked about them in another thread but no luck so far... | |
| The New Spendor Classic 1/2 Since someone just mentioned this thread... still nobody around here has heard the Classic 1/2? | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I’m afraid it’s a closed room. Not sure what is the significance in this context of the fact that the D48R is easy to drive. Isn’t it a matter of too much bass extension, exciting some room modes (say, below 30 Hz) that other less extended speaker... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 I did listen to Harbeth 30.2, but it was with an amplifier I believe was not up to the task, a Sugden A21SE that seemed underpowered to me and an accompanying friend. I want something more dynamic and with much better low frequency extension. I li... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Thank you very much guys for answering so quickly! I can say that the larger speakers get the sound "closer" to the original. But one thing to remember is - for a piano recording to sound "like a real piano" on a large loudspeaker, you need to pr... | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 Between the Spendor D7 / D9 and Proac D30RS / D48R, which one does piano timbre better? I'm allergic to hearing a piano reproduction that (given a good quality recording) does not easily, clearly and immediately tells me, even if I'm not paying m... | |
| Spendor D7, D9 but no love Classic 100? I see plenty of recommendations floating around recent threads for the D7 and D9, but nary a mention of the Classic 100. I wonder why. Are no dealers stocking it for demo? ...and as for the new 2/3 and 1/2 (the later looking especially inter... | |
| Yggdrasil or iFi pro dac Was it properly burned in and warmed up (which, by the common knowledge, means "on" all the time at least for the past few weeks)?What did you replace it with? I got rid of it's smaller brother, the Gungnir multibit (last, unofficial "A2" iteratio... | |
| Spender classic 1/2 vs SP1 I’ve only heard the SP2/3R2 and it was instant love! As for the Chinese review, I used the Google translator...@ roxy54: Are you talking about the old 1/2 with 2 tweeters or the new 3 way one? | |
| Spender classic 1/2 vs SP1 Umm... what online reviews? I could only find this: http://famous-av.com/?p=1350 and also there's a discussion on another Australian forum, I don't know if it's appropriate to post the link but you can easily find it, with some interesting comment... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Thanks! Your comparison is very helpful. I was aware of the professional review, but I also wanted an opinion from some private users. | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane @mitch2: Thank you for the detailed answer. So you are one of the few who can compare directly the Onyx / Jade to the Pavane / Adagio. Would you say that the later do improve upon the former in terms of treble extension and soundstage width?@ soix... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane @mitch2: I definitely would not trade the Onyx or Jade for the Level 1 Pavane, that doesn't use the Transient DAC Two modules. Really? Have you heard the level 1 Pavane and you prefer the Onyx / Jade soundwise? I find this quite surprising (... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane @nitewulf: Thank you!@soix: Right now I’m using my old Mackie HR824 (mark I, USA made) monitors, but I’ll upgrade to better speakers + amp within a year or so. Not sure to what, though, from all I’ve listened so far I liked a pair of Spendor SP2/3... | |
