| “Invest” in Tekton? Rotarius is correct. You do not need large drivers or speakers to get deep bass in a 9x11 room. You keep mentioning that the cost of good monitors and a sub will basically equate to the same cost as some DI's. True, however, you could easily spend... | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? Ok, I read your whole life story (apparently I have too much time on my hands).Your conundrum is much easier (and cheaper) to solve now. You are working with a 9x11 room.This is not much larger than some closets. You DO NOT need floor standers, le... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Either design can sound good as evidenced by Regas and the numerous mass loaded designs. All turntables color the sound to some degree. It really comes down to build quality and personal preference. I personally have a psychological aversion to sp... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Epos Epic 2 speakers | |
| The eternal quandary size versus sensitivity versus quality!! Help wanted!! What are the dimensions of your bedroom/office? Any room treatments. You shouldn't need very sensitive speakers when listening only 5' away.For around $2K, you could get a pair of Harbeth P3ESRs or Stirling Broadcast LS35a. You shouldn't need anyt... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 I was prepared to put down the cash for some Spendor D7s, but my dealer said they sound quite different from the Classic series, and they don't have as nice a midrange. He claimed there's some level of detriment to the midrange that comes from a f... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 Avanti, You're correct, the bass has improved quite a lot. I'll probably still invest in a couple good subs, maybe some Rythmiks or Velodynes. I might also try placing them along the long wall. itzhak,The MA Silver 8s are superior in the bass but ... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 Thanks fjn04, these British monitor brands are great.Digsmthd, The lower cycles fill the room with ease, but the midbass can be somewhat anemic still. I need to experiment with placement. I think my room is difficult for most speakers in one way o... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 The SP2/3R2 | |
| Harbeth Love and your experiences Just this week I auditioned the C7s in my system for a few days. They're good speakers, but I'm now listening to the Spendor SP2/3R2 and preferring them by a country mile. The spendors have a sweeter midrange and clearly superior detail. The midra... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 I'm about three hours into the Spendors. So far, these have the most amazing midrange I've ever heard in my system. In fact, it was about only 20 seconds into the first song that I realized these are something special. The dealer had some Spendor ... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 I don't know why I thought they used foam surrounds, something I thought I read somewhere. My local dealer didn't have any ATCs in stock.I picked up the Spendors today. The Harbeths were just not cutting it. My first impressions will follow soon. | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 No shipping involved, they're local. | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 I've read a lot of unflattering remarks about ATC. I'd also like to avoid speakers with foam surrounds as the climate here can be rough on foam. | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 Donvito,No kidding. Most dealers near me expect customers to buy without a demo, or a demo in poor set-up conditions, with their gear. I've read many posts from people who apparently have dealers that allow in-home trials. I thought stingy dealers... |
