| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Just to add, I audition the B&W 802 with high Classe amp at the dealer many years ago, and I got the same feeling, full and nothing exciting. Then I hear a big Maggie, and I got goose bumps. The singer seems to just floating in front of me. ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Once again, thank you for all the opinions. Even though logically I think I should wait for the M3 to come up, But gosh, I can’t get the 40.1 out of my head! I keep coming back to read all the comments. I read them all three times now. One of ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Once again, thank you very much for all the information. To summarized all the pros and cons, logically, I should get the 30.1 and not 40.1, because:1. For the price of 40.1, I can buy the 30.1 + McIntosh MA252.2. I can’t afford to buy the 40.1 +... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @snackeyp dis you also upgrade the amp when upgrade to 40.1? What amp did you use? | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Very good information, than you every one. I always want to try McIntosh gear. And I am planning to get the MA252 hybrid to go with the Harbeth. The Ma252 is rated as follows:Power Output per Channel100 Watts into 8 Ohms160 Watts into 4 OhmsMax... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @mapman can you please elaborate on your experience between the Spatial and 40.2? Which model of Spatial you hear? Are they in different settings, different room and different equipment? Since the Spatial is open baffle, I hope or expect it giv... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Thanks for all the reply. I believe the only way to find out if I will the Harbeth is to buy one and use it at home. Although not yet audition the Harbeth, based on my past experience, it is not that useful; because the room is different, the am... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @jjss49 can you elaborate? Honestly, don’t really know the differences. But it seems the 30.1 and 40.1 are more popular. I would like to be educated.thanks. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 When you say the 40.1 has much deeper bass, does it need a louder volume to bring it out? Or they are at similar volume? | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 @jond how would you describe the difference? I never own a monitor speaker, all my speakers are full range speakers. But then recently, I feel they are actually a bit too big for me. I realize they sound better when I turn up the volume, but th... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 Actually, nothing wrong with the Spatial X5. But hear the Harbeth on You tube and the midrange sound can’t get away from my head. I know the sound quality from YouTube is not good in any way, and it depends on the gear and room condition. But s... | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion I also seriously look into the Audio Mirror Tubadour III. It has good reviews, and it is from US. I have bad experience in the Topping DX7 purchase. So, I am a bit reluctant to buy from China. I don’t know if the courier services like DHL resu... | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion Thanks for all the suggestions. Some of them haven’t heard before, Will am have a look.My budget is < $1500. I am ok to buy used, but those popular ones seems hard to come by. People are hanging on to them. =) | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion Forgot to mention, the Audio-gd has a in-house developed R2R chip, while the MHDT use an old TDS1541a. Although the TDA 1541a has good reviews, but if Audio-GD do it right, a new technology should theoretically sound better. And with the positiv... | |
| DAC upgrade suggestion Actually, I like more dynamics, punchy bass and clear, transparent sound. But the tricky part is, to a point that not to sound fatiguing. It is more a feeling after a longer time of listening. When I first hear the Topping dx7 pro, it sounds gr... |
