| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? The lack of bass is from lack of boundary reinforcement. Do what's needed to keep these speakers because to replace them with something that equals let alone surpasses them is going to cost lots. They present an easy load and are fairly sensitive.... | |

| What Is So Special About Harbeth? @extravaganza, you make a very good point 👍 | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? @jjss49 , I lost somehow a long reply to you so I'll try again a shorter version. I have no 'stake' in this! I have an opinion, just like anyone else and just like you. Do I think Harbeth are overpriced? ...Yes Do I like their overly complex ... | |
| 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... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @thyname, I think you have been misinformed. Resistance is not futile. Resistance is Voltage divided by Current 🙄 Interesting thread though the Million range is beyond my allowance. I'm keen to read more about the 'budget' line, particularly th... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes OK, interesting you mentioned the EL83. Is there a strong reason for considering these especially when there is the extra expense of adapters and doubling up of pin connections. It's certainly doable if the sound quality is worth it. I just have n... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes I have tracked down some Brimar/Marconi black plate 1950s 12AT7 but have not yet decided on el84s | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Sure, if the tubes are overdriven they won't last. Perhaps Kevin doesn't sell the Gold Lions. 🙄 In his video he's talking about putting an EL34 into an amp that is biased to run KT88s and so driving the plates beyond their rated max. dissipation... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Never heard of NessTone. The price seems very fair, perhaps too fair. Are they rebranded Chinese? @dekay, That's is a little disconcerting. Perhaps because they have been used in guitar amps which usually overdrive them. Some audio amps also drov... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes It's not just the power tubes that effect the sound. Sure, that's why I posted : "He also needs a pair of 12AT7's. Best quality needed for this position" Your link to audiotubes is great. I have just been reading the ECC81/12AT7 page. I did n... |
