Furthest range of WGBH FM Boston --Maine, NH, ?
If it turns out that you can't get WGBH on your tuner that far north, you can still listen to their webcasts, which are in stereo and don't sound all that bad with an external sound card connected to your stereo. I listen to classical music webcas... 
No one cares this is the anniversary?
Tomryan's attempt to draw an analogy between Iraq and Germany is fallacious. The question is whether current events in Iraq will or will not unfold as the Bush administration predicts. The fact that various negative predictions from Life and the N... 
Narrow tuner.
If Tumbler is referring to the KLH 18 tuner from the late 1960s, it came only in a solid-state version, never with tubes.Mark 
Quad 12L or Rogers LS3/5A 11Ohms
LS3/5A of course. Hard to beat. 
Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power?
Charlie & Paul,I re-positioning the harbeths and manage to get very good stereo effect as well as very natural and suficient bass. I found the Harbeths are very sensitive to the stand height in my living hall. They are far more sensitive to th... 
Someone help me Sound Too Thin ?????
Try audition the quad 11L or 12L. They are very warm sounding. I've heard the triangle, the sound lean to me, but they are also good in my opinion. 
Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power?
Now I roll my tube in the power amp and find the treble to be softer. I am quite happy with the treble now. Paul, you are right, I am using Blu-tack in between the stand and the speakers. From your experience, how much improvement to the bass if I... 
Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power?
I just changed to 17" tall stands and find vast improvement. The tweeters fire at my ear level now. The mid is detailed and richer; the bass is more convincing now. THANK YOU PAUL!May i know which loudspeaker cable you are using now. I feel that t... 
QUAD L12 OR TANNOY R2 ?
Go for Quad..More balance and musical. 
Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power?
Dear All,Tks for your valuable advice. I have measure my stand height, and confirm they measure about 24". Is these too tall? I use that for Dynaudio 1.3Mmk2, LS3/5A , proac, Quad 11L and find okay.Now for the Harbeth, I use Manley Mon0-block with... 
Harbeth C7- Tube or solid state power?
thank you. Can I know, from your experience, what is the stand height which give the most bass?tks,Mark 
How to tame the high of harbeth C7
Tks for all your feedback. I'm not sure if it will perform better with just a good integrated amp? Any body using transister integrated amp with C7 and get good results? 
Would Dynaudio Contours mate well with Denon?
No I do not think the Denon is up to the task.. Get a Krell or Mark Levinson or class A design beefy amp. Or at least Audiolab pre-power combo. The Dynaudio well sound bright if it is underdriven, it well sound even brighter with DENON!Good luck. 
Quad 12L, PMC TB2, or Harbeth Compact 7ES-2?
I do not own 12L but own both Quad 11L & Compact 7ES. While the 11L may be revealing however I think it is not as revealing as the C7ES, and C7ES is obviously in another league. C7ES is much more superior in term of highs, imaging and overall ... 
any new Quad 11/12L owners?
11L sound more beautiful than the 12L IMHO, faster and more coherent...
