| 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 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... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 Noromance,I didn't take your post that way at all. I've been tempted to try Tekton, but I just can't get over their relative ugliness. They look much better with a premium finish, but I just can't bring myself to take the risk.I did some swapping ... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 Donvito101,I'm not yet ready to claim I like the Epos speakers better, but they do seem to have more of the type of bass that I like. To be fair, the Epos speakers have a reputation for bass that beguiles their size. It's doubtful that the smaller... | |
| Harbeth C7ES3 vs Spendor SP2/3R2 For the heck of it, I removed the Harbeths from my system and hooked up my Epos Epic 2s in their place, on the same Sound Anchor stands, same positioning.I was astonished by what I was hearing. My $400 Epos Epics, despite being considerably smalle... |
