| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? They're on their way, or will be shortly, so love 'em or hate 'em, they'll be mine. The good news is I bought them at a good enough price that I don't think I'll get hurt too bad if I decide they're just not for me. | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? @macg19 That’s good to know, since the bass has been my single biggest concern with them. Thanks for that info, it makes me feel much more confident in my decision. | |

| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? Lots great advice here, and one knucklehead. There’s one in every crowd! I am leaning towards pulling the trigger on a used set tomorrow, there is no dealer within a reasonable distance. I’ll hang on to the KLH speakers either way and if I don’t f... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? @simonmoon No hard feelings, I’ve certainly been guilty of the same more than once in my life. We get passionate about the things that are important to us. Keep on enjoying the music! | |

| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? I bought a pair of KLH Model 5 recently and have to say I am loving them. I keep thinking I really need a much higher end speaker given the rest of my system, but when I listen to them I really have to question that thought. | |
| Casual listening My system exist solely for me to enjoy the music. I have to confess that from time to time I find myself listening more to the sound quality than the music, but that is the exception not the rule. I have pretty much reached my endgame system and... | |
| The Good Stuff Kenny Drew Trio - Dark Beauty checks all the boxes for me. | |
| Some more modern jazz piano trios @bigtwin OK, you convinced me, a copy is on it's way! | |
| Is a FLAT response the IDEAL? Personally, and this is just me, I want to hear music that is as close to what the musicians played as is reasonably possible. That means as close to flat as I can get from my equipment. There are external factors that I have varying degrees of ... | |
