Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600
Yes Nolitan, ATCs are a different breed. They turned out to be the best speakers among the 50 odd speakers I heard when I was at Singapore shopping for my next speakers. They speak truth with such genuine-ness and authenticity that you would even ... 
Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600
Pani sounds like you were turned down for a dealership on these brands and have an axe to grind.Audioconnection, your reaction is hilarious :).I have never thought about getting into audio commercially because I strongly believe, the moment one do... 
Proac response D2 or Harbeth for a Leben cs-600
The Proac D2 is one of the most mediocre speakers from Proac factory. The Response 1SC was a lot superior. Harbeths have anyway never impressed me. Look at the Focus Audio FS788 if you are looking at full range sound. They are on the warm side of ... 
Opinions on Graaf Amps
Which Graaf amplifier can drive an ATC SCM40 in a medium sized room ? 
Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ???
Did you try any other connectors on that cord ? 
Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ???
Which Cardas did you have ? What was the sonic difference between Cardas and Supra ? 
KCI Silkworm+ VS Gabriel Gold interconnects
Look at Fusion Audio Romance IC. They too have a gold version. I currently use their copper version and I do not see myself upgrading ICs for a long long time. They do everything you are asking for and much more in terms of tone and body. 
Class A watts vs Class A/B watts
You want everything ? Look at this:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1283637910&/Symphonic-Line-Kraft-250-Dual-For many audiophiles they are the last amp. 
Moscode 401HR vs Pass Labs X150.5
I do not understand how you can buy these amps in under $2500, but I am guessing you would be going the used route. In that case try to find a Symphonic Line RG1 MK4, it will probably end your search for a power amp for a long time to come (till y...

I would also like to add, Harbeths are not very revealing, they are just a bit bright which makes them sound illuminated in comparison to the likes of Spendor and Dyns. The reason I say this is because the company themselves suggest that their spe... 
How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1
Having owned 3 different Dynaudios including their studio monitor BM6 and listening to almost all their speakers in different demo rooms (excluding the Master and Consequence), it was clear that 1.3SE was their best monitor this side of C1. It was...

Yes, they were 3 year old. The fact that they were SHL5 which is one of the best Harbeths left no doubt on my mind that they are what they are.

I have heard metal domes in many speakers like the Epos M12.2, Thiel, Monitor Audio...even though I prefer a silk dome any day, these speakers with metal domes do not sound analytical to me, they do sound bright and a tad hifi-sh though. I somehow...

Yes, Spendors were far better, they did sound musical, what it is touted for. May be this gives a clue where I am coming from. Since I was upgrading from a Dynaudio which was a fair bit more neutral than the Spendors, I could not convince myself t...

I don't think that explains the discrepancy as most Harbeth users do seem to be using SS and "musical" does seem to be the most common phrase used to describer them Thats exactly why it was on the top of my shortlist when I was upgrading from my ...
