| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions follow up --- during the summer I had a pair of the X1s (bookshelf) with their stands to compare to the Harbeth 30.2 XD. At different points over the frequency curve I was able to hear some details previously unheard on the 30.2. Bass was not bl... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Arafiq - nice review, thank you for taking the time to write it. I listened to the X3's at a local dealer (who also used Forte integrated amps). In their room I did notice the clarity, transparency and high frequency extension that you mention. ... | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? riche569 - On another board a Wilson Audio principal mentioned that the Audio Research i50 is a very special (read excellent) match with the SabrinaX. Riche569 - it was Bill (who posts as Metaphacts on Audioaficionado.org. Here is his quote(... | |

| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing The Shanling ET3 has an oversampling chip. Does it automatically upsample all information or can you switch it on/off? | |
| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. Paul - congrats on your choice of Wilson SabrinaX. Regarding placement, your dealer will set them up (otherwise you will not get warranty). You may find that they don't need that much space away from the wall behind them. That was a major concer... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Bob540 - I suggest you check out their website for alot of information about their speakers' design aspects. Also there are plenty of reviews on the web, done over many years which provide comprehensive insights into their sound and what reviewer... | |
| Wilson Alexia - speaker placement question Everyone - thank you so much for your comments. I've re-measured my space and the distance from the front wall and the back of the speakers would be 18 inches. I really don't want to use any room treatment panels, etc. nor DSP. JJss49 - thank... | |
| QLN Speakers anyone I've heard the Prestige3 and 5, separate times. The sound gives good imaging but the highs are rolled off. I haven't see a review which provides measurements. The 5 has a warmer sound --- quite noticeable --- which is not to my taste. I do ow... | |
| Gryphon Essence Pre and Stereo Power Amp Review Great review! Thank you for the post. Can the preamp turn the amp on/off, or at least bring it out of standby? | |
| Opinions on Sim 330A Power Amplifier Congrats on your purchase! It's a fine performer and the company has an excellent service/warranty policy. Enjoy the new piece! | |
| Opinions on Sim 330A Power Amplifier The SimAudio 330A amplifier is a fine unit. You can read numerous reviews online. I was going to buy one but held off as it is an old model and will likely be updated soon. The last updated amp was the 860A which became the 860A V2. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD Sorry I've been away from this site and my original post. I thank everyone for their comments and suggestions. I did try a Pass INT 25 integrated with my Harbeth setup (everything remained the same except for inserting the INT 25. It did some ... | |
| Wilson Alexx V Carey1110 - agree with your comments. A lot of new development has gone into making it (new V material, capacitors, mid range, tweeter). I haven't heard it yet.. I do like the open sides too. It appears that Michael Fremer has leap frogged over... | |
