| Help me emulate the best speakers I've heard Probably not, but I still like the term for describing a certain desirable sonic quality. | |
| Harbeth P3ESR - What electronics are you using? I've tried 5 amp setups so far:DIY Hypex NCorePrimaLuna Prologue 5 with EL 34'sSanders MagtechSpectron MusicianNAD C390DDThe speakers sound great with all of these, but the PrimaLuna is the winner, hands down. And I'm a solid state guy. | |
| Help me emulate the best speakers I've heard "Succulent" is a marvelous descriptor for (midrange) sound. I'm surprised I've never heard it before. Bravo, Rpfef. | |
| Danny Kirwan -Midnight in San Juan Can't help you, but love Danny Kirwan. | |
| Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates? I'd wait until you know how your speaker situation shakes out in California before choosing an integrated. Not that you're likely to make an amp choice you'd greatly regret, but you might choose differently depending upon which speakers you end up... | |
| Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates? Sunnyjim, what speakers will you be pairing this with? | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? I guess I don't get it. You have yet to hear sound you really like from PMC speakers with any combination of electronics but you're going to buy them anyway and pair them with a Pass integrated, which you've never heard? Or maybe I'm not understan... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL I have not heard the 30.1 but I plan to. Once I heard the little guys, I was instantly curious to hear the new, bigger ones. Pricey.I have Dunlavy SC-III.A, which is the final incarnation of the Aletha-Athena-Cantata series with the downward-firin... | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? If none of the integrateds you've tried worked well with the PMCs, I'd be doubtful that the Pass ones will. Presumably you've heard the PMCs sound great with something? What was it? | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL Sorry, I see you already indicated where you are. How far is Bloomington, IN? | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL No_regrets -- I've just not had a lot of success with Harbeth in my room. They always sound great to me at shows but somehow disappointing at home. I'm stuck in a purgatory of wanting their rich warmth and also wanting clarity, edge definition and... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL I've owned 4 different models of Harbeths and the P3ESR is my favorite. It is magical. But if you like a big sound and a decent effort at bass, it might not be the best choice. | |
| My Bricasti M1 expereince...... How'd you get 400 hours of burn-in done in one day? | |
| Best Integrated, period. I want to hear the new Ayre integrated. Although I haven't liked all Ayre products I've heard, I suspect this new piece will be a contender. | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following There a bit of truth and a lot of BS in what you say, Audiozen. But mostly it's just an unfair misrepresentation of Harbeth and its fans. |
