| Is anyone using Harbeth speakers with a sub-woofer I purchased a REL B3 after demo-ing against the JL F110 on Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M's setup at the dealership.Still waiting to receive the REL but I expect it will integrate nicely. | |
| Ideal Complete System for $5000 If the 803S is what your really want, then I'd suggest you build a system 2.1 for now around a pair of used B&W 805S which you could use as surrounds later when you move to a 803 based 5.1 system. That should leave you with about $3000 for a s... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 for music / HT use...? Thanks for the replies, I plan on pairing them with a JL Fathom 110. | |
| Minimalist PMC AML:1 based setup - opinions needed Just wanted to chime in on my experience with the SB vs Transporter.I have a fairly decent system, B&W 703's connected to a McIntosh MA6900. My music collection is encoded in the lossless FLAC format.I bought a Transporter at a good price to r... | |
| Novice ears or unrealistic expectations? I bought that same amp used from a store near here for $1,000.At that price it was almost a steal, anyway I brought it home and connected and wasn't that impressed. I had it powering my then B&W 603/S3'sI didn't notice any improvement in sound... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? I'm well aware of the loudness wars but since we can't change the recordings, there really aren't a whole lot of options to chose from.A few options that come to mind are:1) Re-purchase the bulk of my CD collection in vinyl since vinyl recordings ... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? I also have 703's and I'm experiencing the same problem as the original poster.For certain types of music that don't involve too much high frequency information these speakers play wonderfully. A good example would be Eva Cassidy's Live a Blues Al... | |
| Spendor S9e or ProAc Response D28 Tomryan,I agree that music does influence your mood. Luckily, I don't listen to enough of it on a continuous basis that for it to affect me more than just momentarily.I get stuck in traffic a lot to and from work, and I'm the type that really real... | |
| Spendor S9e or ProAc Response D28 About Sonus Faber,I've read countless posts/reviews about these speakers saying that if your the type to listen to rock music or expect big bass you should look elsewhere. | |
| Spendor S9e or ProAc Response D28 Hi Drubin,You make a good point that it could be my source, I'm planning on adding a Lavry DA10 DAC soon just to get out that last bit of resolution that's lacking. I know the squeezebox DAC isn't the greatest but it's much much better than the DA... | |
| Spendor S9e or ProAc Response D28 "have you heard other systems that don't fatigue you in that fashion at the same volume level?"Short answer is no. The reason why I went with B&W is because of the proximity of the dealer to my, at that time, apartment.At that time I had a pai... | |
| B&W 803d vs. B&W 804s - Fast Input I don't have direct input for you on either speaker but as a guy that's second guessing his 703 purchase what I recommend you do is spend at least an hour if not more listening to each speaker and bring a lot of different material to listen to.Wha... | |
| Spendor S9e or ProAc Response D28 Shadorne,Your right that quality of the record is a big factor but in my case I find that even my MFSL Guns and Roses stuff gets annoying after a bit of listening.The music that sounds best with these speakers is stuff like jazz, classical and tra... | |
| Balanced outputs vs balanced design Don't forget to look into a balanced power system or at the very least dedicated power lines to ensure these units are getting fed clean and consistent power (i.e. harmonic + noise free and consistent voltage = 120v) otherwise you are only looking... | |
| Speaker recommendations for NAD B&W speakers pair nicely as well, I started with a pair of 603/S3's and have now moved on to a pair of 703's all while keeping the same NAD T742 receiver. I have now source a C272 power amp to help drive the 703's (they are much more power hun... |
