I run my Harbeths with a sixty watt tube amp after borrowing and trying a couple of ss amps.What I have found to clean up and tighten the bass is to use IsoAcoustic pucks between speakers and stands.The cabinets vibrate quite a bit which contribut... | |
| JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x If you get the JBLs don't be in a rush to rehome your Harbeths.That dynamic front row center presentation is fun and exciting but ultimately can be fatiguing.I sold my exciting dynamic speakers and went with Harbeths.Occasionally I miss the other ... | |

| If a speaker stand is mass-loading, how much does it matter what they're made of? Monoprice stands are very well made and heavy,but they don't have a 20" size.
