| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? @dave_b Ok Helomech the great...protector of things absolute! Within the normal standards of cabinet design, Totem makes their speakers far less susceptible to various environmental conditions. Their crossovers are special by virtue of quality a... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? Vince at Totem makes cabinets impervious to environmental variations. Gotta love these sort of claims. No such cabinet exists, nor will it ever exist. Just as no driver is absolutely perfect, neither is any cabinet or crossover. | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? The worst were the Wilson’s. Magico’s were overly deadened to my ears. Anyway, just saying I hear a dramatically improved sound with a well done wood speaker. Harbeth uses this approach as well I believe.The founders of Harbeth and Spendor did ... | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. The A-S1000 will have a little more power on paper, but a lot more power in reality due to its much better/larger power supply. It’s a 50lb beast. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @murphythecat Interesting, in 2017 you bought unheard harbeth c7es3. was it because there was no dealer around? Did you really only heard the C7es3 model, yet go on and on talking about harbeth but only heard the C7es3 and rely on Youtube videos? ... | |
| 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 ... |
