Herron VTPH-2 Phono Preamp
Thank you to all of you for your replies! Out of curiosity, which tube compliment are you all using? The (4 x 12ax7's, 1 x 12at7 for 69dB) or the (2 x 12ax7's, 3 x 12at7's for 64dB)?Secondly, do you know if you can switch the tube compliments from... 
Klyne 6PE: comments ?
Daniele_g,Have you had a chance to listen to your new Klyne? How do you like it? May I ask how much these are going for on the used market now-a-days?I remember hearing a Klyne (can't remember the exact model anymore) many years ago at my favorite... 
Harbeth P3ESR - What electronics are you using?
Banyon, what was it about the sound that didn't impress you? Or did you feel that it wasn't a large enough improvement over your P3s to justify the additional cost? 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
It started with the original Dunlavy IV, then towards the end of that run John made improvements to this speaker. He did not make any designation changes, but simply referred to it as the Dunlavy IV improved version. Shortly after this, he made ad... 
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
Hi Drubin,Remember that old saying?....."don't fix what's not broken".If you have the magic right now, why mess with it? John Dunlavy was one of the greatest speaker builders of all times, in my humble opinion. He could take inexpensive drivers, m... 
Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction.
Hi Nvp,Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did try this with foam a while back. Although it did reduce the bass output, it also messed with the rest of the sound. It just didn't sound right. It lost its naturalness, it's intimacy, and to my ears...

Hi Chayro,Probably absolutely nothing.....I honestly really do not know. As I was talking about different speaker designs (sealed, ported, etc) and knowing that the Harbeth is lossy and specifically part of it's design, where some other speakers a...

Hi guys,Yes, I have tried some speakers in this small room already. I've tried my late 1960's vintage 12" Tannoy Monitor Golds in custom cabinets that had dual front ports. Very boomy on the bass notes.I've tried my late 1960's vintage Wharfedale ...

Yes, indeed. There have been some great suggestions made by all of you here. It looks as though I have some more research to do. I appreciate everyone's contributions in trying to help me get good sound in this little room. 
Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
Thanks Egoben. I don't know that either of those would be available here in the States. I've many people seem to like Skylan stands with the Harbeth line of speakers quite a bit. They are in Canada and would be no problem for me to get those. I pr...

I'm glad that you love your Harbeth's so much! Could you comment on what it was about the Harbeth's that you love so much more than the DeVore 3xl?I have read positive things about both sets of speakers, but have not heard from anyone who has actu...

Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
I'm curious as to how the MMMicro One sound is compared to either the DeVore Gibbon 3xl or the Harbeth line of speakers? Anyone have experience with both?

Good point Nvp. We spend a lot of quality time together in this small den, and we both truly enjoy listening to music together. We both would like to be able to do this together in this small den. However, she does not want this to look like a ste...
