Has anyone try the Benchmark DAC1 Preamp?
Ive lived with the Benchmark dac 1 as a pre-amp balanced driving a Jeff Rowland Digital amp. It actually sounded real good! 
Harbeth M30
The m30s are harder to drive than the P3s for sure.Suggest you upgrade your cd player first before changing your amps.The M30s are more revealing for sure than the P3s since they are more upfront sounding.The c7es3 are easier to drive than the m30s. 
Subwoofer for Harbeth M30?
I've mated Rel with the harbeths for years. They work great, integrated seamlessly.Cant go wrong with the Rel B series or the St series w/ your M30s. 
Esoteric X-03 vs Accuphase DP-500
Dp500 is a refine , organic sounding cd player. Its very undigital sound & is quite involving. It may not be the most dynamic cd player out there but its not slow by any means. It gets the essence of the music right.It gives one hours of unfat...

Top Speakers for Nearfield Listening in Small Room
although this speaker seems outclassed by the others in this particular topic/forum. I'd like to add in the harbeth HLP3es2. this is a small speaker that sounds big in a small room. Not much bass to speak off but they sound great! 
Harbeth M30 -
Before you upgrade the M30s suggested you do your room acoustics if you havent done so. They make up 50% of your sound. Once you get the acoustics right, then you'll wonder what made you the itch to upgrade. M30 has potential provided they have ad... 
Anyone compare Devore and Harbeth speakers?
i heard the devore a few times in seattle area. I agree with some of the findings, that they are detailed, but a bit dry to my taste. Maybe its the electronics that it was paired with. I personally prefer the Harbeth sound over them, but again, it...

musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch
another vote for rel, these are very easy to integrated w/ most speakers. They are fast, articular and doesnt call attention to itself.The mimic the character of your power amp. If your power amp is fast, the rel will be fast. If your amp is slow ...

Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?
argument can be all day long for these matters, in the end, one has to go w/ what your ears tells you best. Free world, free country! 
Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?
These speakers are tough act to follow. I've been in and out of many speakers but in the end, nothing beats the mids of the harbeths./ Spendor.Some may offer more resolution, detail,bass, more highs, etc. Properly set up harbeth/spendor, the mids ...
