You went from Harbeth P3's to Compact 7's, and...
Yogiboy what did you not like about the p3 anniversary model?  I've never heard the regular p3s so I have nothing to compare them with.  
Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr?
I have the 40th anniversary model and I use them with a a/d/s sub which is currently down. However without the sub the bass is surprisingly good in a 12x15 ft  room. I run a Rogue amp and preamp using nos Mullard signal tubes in both, and these sp... 
Bookshelf Bake Off
I've been living with a pair of Harbeth p3esr 40th anniversary model for about six months now and I luv them! I use them in conjunction with a 35 plus year old a/d/s pb1500 sub that has two 10 inch woofers each with there own 100 watt amp which is... 
CAN YOU OVERPOWER A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
I no longer use my sa-8001  due to replacing it with a sa-14s1 which is much more up to date technology wise and more then twice the price but not that much of an improvement sonically. Which just tells me what a great player and great value that ... 
Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
I second the dh labs silver sonic I think the cable company has them on special now. 
The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
Im currently using Harbeth p3esr 40th anniversary with an a/d/s pb1500 sub from the 80's and a Rouge amp and preamp running nos Mullard and rca tubes. Harbeth have a surprisingly good bass on there own for there size but with a good sub the mids w... 
Amp for Harbeth P3ESR and Cambridge Audio Azur 851N
I second the Rogue integrated amp, I believe they now use kt100 tubes which is what is in my Rogue st100 power amp that drive my P3's. However if you go the tube route be prepared to replace the preamp tubes with nos tubes. I run Mullard and tectr... 
Most “disappeared” speakers.
Harbeth P3esr 40th anniversary with a good sub and near field listening has been what's floating my boat lately. Steve Guttenberg says they disappear more then almost any other speaker he's heard, he comments on them all the time on how good they ... 
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
Harbeth p3esr 40th anniversary edition and about 300 hundred dollars in very expensive olive wood to build matching stands that are still in progress.  
Reasonable but not outragious interconnects
I am far from an expert on cables and up until about 7 years ago you could call me a skeptic. I had to hear it for myself before I was convinced, and I was shocked the improvements decent cables can make. And the crazy thing is it’s all the cablin... 
KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?
HELP is the cd “Your going to lose that girl” is the song and no punishment here... 
KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?
And again with the button lol... as I was saying the with headphones the music is in the middle of your head with the C9 you get same basic effect of headphones but with the music not in your head but coming towards you were it belongs. 
KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?
As I was saying before I accidentally pushed post. Lol. I should have described Ringos bongos not to be so much in the forefront but more to say in his own space in the soundstage to were he doesn’t blend into the background. I believe this happen... 
KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?
I’m not quite sure if I agree with the above assessment of what I’m hearing with the Harbeth p3. As far as other frequencies being turned down I’m not sure if you’re referring to the speakers or the effect of the carver c9. I will say compared to ... 
KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?
I 've lived with the p3's 40th for a few months now they replaced my thiel scs4. Shortly after I recived them my beloved a/d/s pb1500 subwoofer (circa 1980) finally failed me and is currently in the shop. So I've been forced to listen to them on t...
