| Which integrated amp with Harbeths? The Portal Panache is solid state, 100 wpc, but no remote.I also have a Plinius 9200 here. Early listening impressions are not favorable, but I'll be giving it another try. I heard Harbeth and Plinius together at CES a few years back and liked it ... | |
| Which integrated amp with Harbeths? I am currently trying several integrateds with my SHL5's. Favorites so far: Cayin A88-T and Portal Panache. Both are well under your budget. | |
| Has this ever happened to you? ----Long Yes it has. Makes you crazy. | |
| The Perfect Speakers for Jeff Rowland Concerto Int I meant to say above that they would be happy with anything but THE most power- and current-hungry designs. | |
| The Perfect Speakers for Jeff Rowland Concerto Int It would be happy with anything but most power- and current-hungry designs. But it really makes more sense to choose the speaker you like first. | |
| "Mac" Integrated Owners: Are You Experienced? Foster_9, that Dussun sure looks impressive on paper. How do you like it? How would you compare it with the Mac and, especially, with the Plinius 9200 (which I am familair with). | |
| Opinions on digital interconnect The Stereovox HDVX is $100 and they just announced an improved version for a little bit more. These guys really know what they're doing. | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas You are correct that it is apples and oranges when it comes to price. I thought the Daedalus discussion would be of interest to you because Dodgealum listened to a LOT of speakers in his search for something that improved upon or at least equalled... | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas I believe you can search that way. Here's a review and discussion of the Daedalus by a former Harbeth owner. | |
| Why pay 3 Paypal fees? The direct withdrawal thing requires that you have a "personal" account. This means that both you as buyer and those who buy from you must use direct withdrawal or some other form of non-credit card payment. It's a great thing, but I finally aband... | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas You may want to add the Daedalus DA-1 to your list. If you poke around the archives a little you will see that this speaker won over at least one long-time British sound enthusiast. | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM I can see that. But I've read a lot of reviews in which the reviewer says something like, "as glorious as this component sounds on great recordings like the pablum in my music collection, it will also let you hear every wart, zit, and hair out of ... | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM What? Why do you say that about me Bombaywalla? I was merely offering up another way to say what songwriter is saying, and what I think Bobby is saying, in response to Minbean's position. | |
| GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM I find this issue of making all of one's recordings sound good very interesting. It is something I look for in components, but probably would not were I a reviewer or designer. However, I don't think about it as making poor recordings sound good, ... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? I also auditioned these speakers during Lou's Bay Area tour. I heard them in a mostly Spectral system. Very impressive: natural midrange, superb tonality, terrific bass. Their sound is big, bold, lifelike and impactful. I doubt they would ever be ... |
