| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? Ive never understood the Harbeth following but thats just me.I ran old Tannoys and late 50s JBL 3 ways with tube gear for a long time.Both seem to be real nice for 70s/80s rock even if you dont run them full bore.Not the greatest if detail detail ... | |
| to SACD or not I recently did what your doing and bought an Esoteric X03SE.Love it.I could have bought an Ayre at dealer cost and passed after hearing several including the Marantz line...and that Sony all are hyping,forgetaboutit,not even in the same conversati... | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? IMO, you would be better of with vintage speakers given the list of artist you listen to..Tannoys/JBLs/Altecs rather than Harbeths..Cheaper as well..Avalons over Harbeths /no brainer again my opinion | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Kazman..I wasnt trying to get your panties all in a bunch by "attacking"your fast 802s so freakin chill.They are slow,most would agree.You dont think so listen to more speakers as another suggested and if you are still in that mind set buy them..N... | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio 802d is a really fast speaker. Ive heard tons of remarks about the 802D but never ever that it was fast.If anything one of the major slaps about that speaker is its way too slow and bloated in the bass,extremely "lush" with that famous Brit sound... | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio IMO, I have to agree with the above poster.Ive listened to Wilson and Avalon alot.I could easily live with the Sasha or Sophia3(both excellent speakers)but if I was dropping cash, Avalon would go home with me. | |
| JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5 IMO, I have to diagree with the above posters.Its pretty common knowledge (assuming you just read threads on this site and havent had both at home like myself) that JL subs are better for HT and Rel for 2 channel.Im not really sure why you would n... | |
| JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5 Trance,IMO I think what was just said sums it up,if you want to "shake the walls" then JL is the choice hands down.If looking for seemless 2 channel, 1 Rel will do it.There is no need to run a pair,waste of money..B series or an older/larger model... | |
| JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5 IMO,Rel works better with Dynaudio than JL.I tried a 112 with my C4s in the same room size.It wasnt as seemless as the Rel I have.For 2 channel Rel is your ticket with those speakers. | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 vs. Watt/Puppy 7 IMO,the Sophia2 would be the choice of the two .The W/P7 always sounded more like PA gear than home speakers to me.Overload on the bass and un-natural highs...but if it were me I would wait and buy a pair of Sophia 3s as Wilson changes quickly and... | |
| Any Jadis Defy 7 MKII experts out there? Im no "expert" by no means but have owned a couple Defy7 amps.I would guess its the tubes,replace all them including the 12ax7s and make sure the new tubes are all matched(will be expense hence the reason Im no longer an owner).Also have the amp r... | |
| REL Strata III spikes Mine had spikes and I found they improve on hardwoods | |
| Dynaudio Special One-Anyone heard/own these? Yes ,you need a better amp.I bought that Carver at an auction a couple months ago then sold it quickly. Although its OK ,way to under powered to run those speakers.A Pass X150.5 would be a great fit if you can swing it, IMO. | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's The Arcam integrated is junk,so bad my brother who worked for a dealer for years had so many returns they dropped the line.IMO, Naim would be good as well as Mac. | |
| Dynaudio c2 or c4 - need some help Im running C4s in my 19-15 room with 9 foot ceilings..no issues with treatment..IMO, I would buy the C1s before the C2s any day of the week.The C2s are a lame duck,large cabinets with no real bass requiring a sub most of the time and resale on the... |
