Tom, what did you replace your Harbeths with? 
grateful dead dick's picks
I've generally preferred audience tapes to soundboards, with some exceptions of course, but I am in the extreme minority on that.

How Can I Use MY IPOD For a Music Source?
Friends have asked about an iPod-based system for a different part of the house. What I was thinking about for them is a pair of the wonderful NHT M-00's, which are powered speakers, and some kind of easy dock for them to place their iPods in. Wou... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs Dynaudio Special 25 vs...
I also have SHL5 and I think, Wshuang, that you are simply not going to get bass from it at the level of your Dunlavys. You may be able to improve what you get from the Harbeths through positioning, stands, height, ans so forth, but they will neve...

Which integrated amp with Harbeths?

Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?
The white wire sounds lighter and more open at first. But after a while, especially if you move it around often, the sound becomes smudged, even dirty. 
Which integrated amp with Harbeths?
What did you think of the Ayre? I suppose the integrated that Fidelis has to demo with Harbeth is the Lavardin. Did you hear it? I've been very curious about that product. 
Two Subs Vs. One
Where the bass sounds strongest or best is where you should move the sub toAnd that's usually going to be in a corner. Other factors in the whole one vs. two subs question are (1) where the crossover is set, (2) if your mains are runing full-range... 
Do these speakers exist?
I've been reading the GMA website the past couple of days. I highly recommend it to everyone. Thoughtful, well-written, detailed explanations of the goals for each model, the approach taken to solve different problems...he describes just about eve...
