| Have you heard Damien Rice live at Fingerprints? Just got a sampling on Amazon and moved it into my Wish List. Thanks for the lead! | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Toetap... your skills of diplomacy are as subtle as a battering ram. Suggest you try decaf. | |
| Something Vintage Sansui TU-919 tuner, which I prefer over my previous megabuck Magnum Dynalab MD-108 tuner. Also have a nice collection of 1960's vintage NOS tubes from Telefunken, Amperex & Sylvania. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Yes, in a room that size, I'd be looking at monitors with a subwoofer. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Che13 - what is the size of your room? | |
| using high end speakers wit integrated recievers Arch2 - the new Taurus appears to be quite and upgrade over the previous generation... especially once you move up to the SHO line, it's basically a muscle car for folks in their 40's. | |
| Joule Electra LAP 150, Noisy? Never had any problems with my LA 150 MK II when I owned one. | |
| using high end speakers wit integrated recievers I agree with Stanwal on his suggestions, however, the OP speaks of using a Pioneer Elite home audio reciever, which IMO is bad idea. It's kind of like buying a Porsche 911 with an engine from a Ford Taurus. Been there, done that.... there are not ... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Ryder hit the nail on the head when he said:"In this hobby everything is subjective as the listener's musical preference will take precedence over anything else. The Dynaudio Confidence may be in another league for one and the Harbeth to another."... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3 Srosenberg - I'm kind of cheap when it comes to NOS tubes, so I hunt for bargains, but for tubes that are highly recommended. The best I've found so far are Telefunken 12AX7 smooth plates (early 60's vintage) that had great specs. I managed to ste... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3 Swanny... I may be biased as a long time Calypso owner, but, I've owned a lot of gear over the last decade, and I've found the Calypso to have exceptional build quality. It's a rock solid piece, and with the right tubes, it sounds great. | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso I really like my Calypso and it responds very favorably to rolling tubes. I just plugged in some Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7's and the sound is sublime. | |
| Focal 1027 Electra Be and power amp If you want to stick with solid state, the Audio Research 100.2 is a classic (100 wpc) and can be had @ $1,750 on the used market. | |
| Difference between Luxman L-550A II & L-507u Anyone hear or try the 550A with the Harbeth M-40.1's? I'm thinking a 20WPC integrated, albeit conservatively rated, would have a tough time pushing 40.1's 12" woofers. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Chashas1 - so you don't like Harbeth or Dynaudio. What speakers have you owned that you like? |
