| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? [please excuse my poor English] A friend sells his ML-2 pair (2nd hand). - is the ML-2 topology fully balanced ? I read that the XLR input was an option; this suggests that the circuit is not fully balanced. Which in turn implies that the RCA/Ca... | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? @arafiq , [please excuse my poor english] - Dito - Spendor S100R² (now "Classic 100", €11300/pair) could be considered, but, again, I think a M30.2 Anniversary, 2nd hand, is a better option given your context. Additionnally, the M30.2 are very ... | |

| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k [please excuse my bad English]During the two ‘Brussels HiFi Shows’, my Harbeths demo created a stir, compared with systems that are ten to twenty times more expensive. (source, in French)(Harbeth’s Brussels dealer)Indeed, I attended the show, and ... | |
| Which Harbeths? PS: used M30.1 can be a good choice though, if some precautions are taken to make them sound a little "brighter":remove the grilles (it was still easy to do with the M30.1)listen closer, so you have more treble energy (mid-field, even near-field ... | |

| Innous Zen Mini MK 3 [please excuse my bad English]As for the slot loading mechanism used in the Innuos,the slot CD loader of my beloved Meridian G08.2 made tiny abrasions on the CD’s surface, only visible under the light of a desk lamp. I sold it for that reason only... | |
| Which Harbeths? [please excuse my bad English]I am, too, glad that you found the right connection to your Mc Intosh amp.You mentioned the C7's are a bit forward now on the 8 Ohms output of the amplifier. A few points to tryyou had removed the grilles => try to... | |
| Which Harbeths? @ddafoe [please excuse my bad English]Thanks for your reply, it is a nice opportunity for me to clarify: I was indeed talking about UNamplified acoustic instruments only (i.e. mainly classical, and unamplified jazz&folk if this still exists).A... | |
| Which Harbeths? @brylandgoodman, [please excuse my bad English]- Give your Harbeth C7es XD plenty of time for the running/breaking in. I suggest to avoid any decision before you spent the whole winter listening to them. Fast A/B comparisons can mislead. Yes, time... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k [please excuse my bad English]I saw your tastes a bit later: I listen to Classical, Jazz, Funk [...] So i would go for a *lively sound, accurate, fast and dynamic*. => I am inclined to think that a Stenheim Alumine Three (USD 30K, relatively co... | |
| The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward... [please excuse my bad English]I cannot see the list of exhibitors (the website does not display it, maybe my ad & script-blockers).I don’t see the interest, compared with a good show report (with pics and synthetic description).Better than not... | |
| Speaker Recommendation up to 70k [please excuse my bad English]Emerald,SUGGESTION ______________Maybe you could *also* ask Christiaan Punter owner of HiFi-advice website. He owns CH Precision gears (pre+power, L1 & A1.5) and makes a lot of comparisons. In my opinion, he does ... | |
| What comes after Harbeth 30.1s? [please excuse my bad English][I read attentively your initial request, but I did not read all the member’s answers dut to lack of time].Given your constraints, I think it is pretty simple:"I’m only looking to buy used and not spend much more than... | |
| Which Harbeths? As for the initial question -Which Harbeths?- in general, my favorite model is, by far, the TERRIFIC M40.2 (and later models, I assume). Because: the midrange cone is relieve from the task of reproducing any low frequancy signal => the midrange... |
