| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 All I can really say about amplifier suitability is that the C1s really tell you what kind of amp you are listening to. It is a very clear difference between high power SS and tube. I would lean toward high power ss for the maximum performance as ... | |
| Dynaudio C1 II vs Focal Micro BE vs Harbeth SHL5 Jafant - The Live In Paris on FLAC is also one of my favorite audio test albums. That album plus Magnepans was a holy experience for me.Jeffreyds - The reason for the different amplifiers is that I really like the way each of the speakers sounded ... | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range I have not heard the Mani-2 but I would love to. There really are so many great speakers in this price range. I'd be interested to know how the original compares to the signature version. | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range Thank you. I did post the response in it's own thread so that it can be accessed by people seeking comparisons of those speakers. | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range I purposely left out which speakers I kept because I didn't want it to affect the way that I was describing the sounds. In the end, I did end up keeping the Focals simply for the fact that I like the way they sounded more. All analysis aside, they... | |
| Review: Focal Micro Be vs. Dynaudio C1 mk1 Monitor Hello Paul, I posted my comparison in another thread. I did not want to hijack your's even though the subjects were very similar.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1353601230&&&/Top-monitors-3K-6K-range- | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range I have had the chance to spend time with all three speakers - the Focal Utopia Micro BE, Dynaudio C1 Signature (MKII) and the Harbeth SHL-5 Anneversary edition. Simply put, all three speakers are of fantastic quality and they all do what they set ... | |
| Top monitors 3K - 6K range I recently added the C1s to the mix, going head to head with the Focal Micro BE and the SHL5. Some impressions will follow soon when things have settled. | |
| PSB Image t6 or Imagine T? No sub and rotel amp I know. I guess Agon wants to protect the members on the forums but it can make getting answers tedious. | |
| Review: Focal Micro Be vs. Dynaudio C1 mk1 Monitor I currently have an interesting mix of speakers - C1 Sig, Focal Utopia BE and Harbeth SHL5. Amps are Cary SLI-80, Arcam AVR-600 and Exposure 2010S2 respectively.It all sounds good but one set of speakers has to go! Too many speakers!!I am really w... | |
| Sonos to Amp - is simplicity better? Martingren - I had a similar experience, just on a much smaller scale. I have a Sonos CONNECT and I was using the Emotiva XDA1 DAC to convert the signal. I did A/B testing between the Sonos internal DAC and the signal converted by the XPA1. At lev... | |
| Sonos to Amp - is simplicity better? I hope my question is clear. I am basically asking if adding components into the chain could improve the sound. The amp in question could be any amp - tube, SS etc. If the answer is yes, what would the DAC/Pre be doing that the Sonos isn't? | |
| PSB Image t6 or Imagine T? No sub and rotel amp I wonder where my response went? I wrote a long answer this morning but it hasn't appeared. I wish Agon would get their forums fixed. Anyway, basically I said I'd lean to the Imagine T because I like the Imagine B. | |
| PSB Image t6 or Imagine T? No sub and rotel amp I have a set of Imaging Bs that got me into this hobby. Fantastic speakers. The Imagine line is above the Image line (which I have not heard). However, the designers usually save their better sound for the more expensive lines - like any product. ... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following I just wanted to add my thoughts on Harbeth because they are a perplexing speaker for me. I have a set of SHL5 and they are unlike anything else in my experience. I've heard Harbeth described as warm, colored, recessed highs, non-hifi, that the ca... |
