Harbeth SHL5 vs Dynaudio Special 25 vs...
I had Harbeth C7-2s and found them a bit thick and "pulled back", if you know what I mean. " These can happen with the C7es2 if you drive them with warm sounding gears like tube gears or warm sounding s/s amps.If you also put these close to the wa...

I heard a buddy's Aleph 3 driven with Emotive Audio Sira Pre-amp= best sound I heard from the Aleph 3 
Harbeth SHL5 vs Dynaudio Special 25 vs...
I have a pair of SHL5 which I love it very much while playing the vocal, solo or piano. Regarding the bass, I am not so impressed (my previous speaker is Dunlavy SC-IV, the bass is better/powerful). I am not sure if this is position problem or how... 
REL Subs with H2O Amplifiers
Assuming that your Storm III is now connected to your preamp; do you feel that you were able to obtain the same seamless integraton with your main speakers as you would have gotten if you were using the Neutrik connection via your power amps?I wil... 
Which integrated amp with Harbeths?
Northwoods_maineYou can purchase the SHL5 first & try to see if you can home audition some of your nearby dealers amps. Am sure some dealers will allow it while others wont. But one thing for sure, the Harbeths are forgiving enough that whatev... 
Which integrated amp with Harbeths?

I would probably save up for the Concentra since that is one of the best integrateds money can buy, if not the best.Proac are revealing speakers and the better you feed them, the better they sound.Another amp i can highly recommend with the Proac ... 
Rel Strata III versus Rel Britannia B3
I've tried the DD from Velo and just recently bit the bullet on a the B3.The DD from Velo is nice because of the remote. But it stops there. No matter what the dealer did, the sub just called attention to the sound therefore it colors the sound. T... 
Amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6?
i'd include the audio research vs110 in that list. 
How Much Power is Enough?
I would also look at one of those modified mccormack dna 1 (170w) from SMC audio. Those would be awesome amps for the PMC and at the same time more affordable than Pass & Sim Audio 
How Much Power is Enough?
PMCs are known to be good matches with Bryston amps.I have heard the smallest PMC driven with Bryston, Krells, Classe& Rowlands.One thing for sure they really eat power for lunch. The 100watters can drive them but when you start pumping them u... 
Does the Krell KAV-400Xi overheat?
It shouldnt provided it has ventillation on top.I ran my kav 300i for 8 hours straight at modest levels and it does get pretty warm but not too hot to be touched.
