| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question @oldschoolsound, Zilch was the backbone of that long thread and his passing a big loss. My current speakers are some cheap OB jobs but when finished house repairs I will try Tannoy MG15 OB with helper woofer/s below. The last speaker I built wit... | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question @oldschoolsound, Well looks like we were recommending the same thing at about the same time. We have to accept that great minds think alike. So Mr. Chorus, gotta be something in it innit? | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question It is entirely possible to build a speaker that will easily outperform a commercial one for the same money, though it may not look as nice. There are many designs available by great designers that provide the volume of enclosure required, the cro... | |
| Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek There is visually tidy and electrically tidy and these two doctrines don't necessarily align. | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade Subwoofers do bring so much to the party if you can integrate them with your system and room well, even though your speakers are almost full range. Room treatments, are a good suggestion. Many recommendations here to attend to room acoustics w... | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? I don’t think the basic problem of having poor balance due to insufficient bass will be resolved by changing components. What would really help is to spend about $100 on a measurement mic. and download a free program called REW. This is the only w... | |

| What Is So Special About Harbeth? @avanti, They use a lossy tuned cabinet resonance design that gives them a controlled richness This is distortion by definition. The resonating cabinets are producing their own sound like a musical instrument and this is superimposed on the si... | |
| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) ASR has been mentioned. To help remove a little confusion, do not, repeat not take any notice of this 'review site' They do not review anything, they only measure! This arrogant p..p..person (phew that took some restraint) states that he does not... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? In a similar thread I mentioned that I feel Harbeths are overpriced (very overpriced) and overrated. Alan Shaw clearly states that in the design of his speakers' crossovers: 'cost is no constraint' and also that: "we will add components and... | |

| Fascinated By GR Research Channel The few Harbeths I've heard are pleasant sounding, inoffensive and uninvolving. I feel they are overated and very overpriced. Alan Shaw states: The first point is ’cost is no constraint’ we will add components and complexity to achieve, in c... |
