| Which integrated amp with Harbeths? In this age of instant gratification, you'll probably find it hard to believe that 6 months later I still haven''t purchased an integrated or separates. No one is more surprised than me - well, ok maybe my wife is! I did purchase the Ayre CX-7e tw... | |
| Best object in your listening room. Hmmm, it could be the 63 pound king salmon on the wall that I caught in Alaska 20 years ago ... or the collection of 40 Matchbox cars/trucks that I had as a kid that are displayed in a shadowbox on the wall. (They cost 39 cents each when I was 10-... | |
| Best monitor under 5k? Given the type of music you listen too, I'd highly reccomend you take a listen to the Harbeth Super 5s and GMA Callistos. I've also been in the market for a pair of monitors for $4k tops and so far these two have outshined many others on female vo... | |

| Intergrated Amp with VR4jrs Cford, I can understand where you're coming from. In my case, I'm not sure if it's driven by age(50-something)or other factors, but I'm looking to simplify my life by simplifying several of my hobies. I went from a Stratos bassboat with a high H.P... | |
| Which integrated amp with Harbeths? Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming. My biggest hurdle in this whole adventure is the lack of dealers within 5-6 hours of where I choose to live. However, the US importer of Harbeth (Fidelis) also has a retail operation 6 hours drive from... | |
| Which integrated amp with Harbeths? Drubin -Have you tried any that you eliminated? Have you tried any solid state I-amps? I'm not the biggest fan of tubes but haven't ruled them completely out. | |
| High power integrated suggestions please. 213Cobra - "The Krell has power and dynamics. Unfortunately, it lacks tone and is unable to make anything resembling music." I'm guessing that you've never actually heard the Krell 400xi that is being discussed here. While I think your description... | |
| spendor 3/5 vs era vs avi vs vienna acoustics hayd My ear finds a preference to Harbeth vs. Spendors, though they both come from the same British genetic pool. I noticed a pair of Harbeth H-3s listed on here right now for asking price of a little less than $1,500. | |
| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa In my mind, the whole issue gets a little tricky when you factor in the sonic advantages of the new multi-channel formats (HD-DVD / Blu-ray) that are at our doorstep. I have an older integrated amp based system that I've used for 2 channel audio a... | |
| What room color to complement Champagne speakers? Unless the speakers are manufactured in France it really isn't "Champagne", it's "sparkling wine". :) | |
| Best monitor for female vocals? I was out of town and out of touch for a couple days - thanks for all the responses. Actually, I did get a chance to audition a pair of B&W 805s and Paradigm Signature 4s this week in Grand Rapids. My ears liked the 805s a lot better than the ... | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro Fiddler - as a sales manager for a manufacturer (not A/V related products), I also need to have a working knowledge of the legal aspects of pricing and agree with you completely. It's all about the "S" in M.S.R.P. - Manufacturer's SUGGESTED retail... | |
| great integ amp for VA Haydn Grand's?? You said ... "thinking about the Primare I20 that I'm told by Sumiko (VA's distributor) is a great match". Bare in mind that Sumiko is also the US distributor for Primare so you're getting a strongly biased opinion there. I'm not offering an opini... | |
| Anyone heard Harbeth HL5s with Nuforce? Thanks all for the valued input. I live 5+ hours from anything you'd consider an "audio" store so I don't have the luxury of being able to audition anything in my home. The only auditioning I get to do is when I'm traveling on business. Anyone els... |
