| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @d2girls trolltrōl/nouna mythical, cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance. Well, I’m no Brad Pit doppelganger but no, not a troll. As I mentioned earlier, I’m not going to qui... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? Harbeth mid range uses a soft cone material that is inert. Some form of polypropylene that remains soft and stable. Similar to ATC which use a doped fabric both drivers are intrinsically damped. I believe this is the trick to audibly superior mid ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? 08-12-2018 1:07pmi dont knowi feel like theres a limit to opinions and sometime we need to compare two speakers in the same room and the preference will be much less subjective then we think.everyone who both heard, in my room, the graham ls59 and... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @murphythecat I could really care less what you’re "tired of" me doing. I couldn’t give to licks about your opinions and they are just that - opinions - they’re no more valid than my own. You’re not going to stop me from posting my own. Yes, the C... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @gosta I wouldn’t call the Harbeth bass "muddy," but it’s definitely not as punchy or dynamic as ATC. - that goes for all the BBC derivatives. What bothered me about the C7s, especially, was their cabinet was very easy to localize in the sound "pi... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @murphythecat It’s clear you have an obvious bias for Harbeth being that you own the SHL5s. I’m sorry you get so easily offended, but I hear what I hear and in my opinion, Harbeths are the least natural sounding of the BBC derivatives. My first ex... | |
| Another Speaker Recommendation Request Most important attributes for me would be non-fatiguing and imagingSpendor D9 or Classic100s. The latter will be warmer and less fatiguing.Look into Tannoy Ardens also. | |
| Speaker Help Keep away from rear ported speakers in that size room. That’s why I suggested the Spendor A5r ( 2 1/2 way ) with sealed woofers! I’ve owned that speaker and found it to be an excellent performer!The A4s are rear ported but they really don’t need t... | |
| Speaker Help Yogiboy is on the right track, but go with the new Spendor A4 -- killer speaker for the price - excellent British midrange but with some real bass punch and depth. They're one of the most well-rounded speakers I've heard in recent years. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? HELOMECH ...here’s the deal with that , its a trap to a degree , once you get the 30.1’s , Harbeth comes out with the BETTER bigger, ones 40.1 , then 40.2’s ....I want to buy something and be done with it , not worry that the upgraded model is so ... | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. Curious now about low end punch in the Yammy A-S series? IME, more than the $2500 Parasound Halo and $3500 Rogue Pharaoh. Not sure how they do it but I suspect it has to do with their use of EI transformers instead of over-hyped toroids. | |
| Ayre <--> Parasound <--> Pass : where are you? I have listened to many Class D amps and have owned five different ones. Almost all of them retailed for over $3500.00And likely had a production cost of about $600. That's the primary advantage of class D. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? The M40.1s would be better suited to your room, but even those won't give you the bass dynamics you likely crave. Find a way to hear some Cornwalls -- maybe join a local audio club. It may even be worth a short flight to SoCal (where you could spe... | |
| chinese counterfeitng The Chinese integrated I just got is genuine and can trash a whole bunch of others as wellVery true of some Cayins and Line Magnetics. | |
