| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... avanti,From my auditioning the 30.1s are more even and controlled through their frequency range. When I auditioned the 30s I really liked their sound, but wished for some deeper bass. The C7es3 did that and I liked it for the bigger sound, but ... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? richoppKeep doing what you are doing, go down to your dealer and listen to a pair of Maggies--the new ones are all over the place with the number of panels, etc. (I personally prefer multiple panels per side) but make your own decisions.I've be... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I know what Orpheus means about the "Gestalt" of vinyl.It really gets me as well. There’s just an "it" factor that draws me in and gives me this big "aaah..." when listening.That doesn’t make digital sound bad to me though. Sometimes I really enjo... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? richoppOk, thanks for the details.I like the sound of maggies and used to hear them a lot, but admittedly it's now been years since I've been able to hear them.It can be tough trying to figure out among audiophiles which speakers are most accurate... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl cakyolAfter about late 1990’s to 2000’s, most vinyl music is first recorded digitally in the studio and then pressed onto the vinyl. There is HARDLY any direct analog recordings any more.So, everyone who THINKS that they are listening to analog on... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Clearly, the OP and many others in this (and the zillion identical) threads, conflate *preference* with *fact*. This is what so often happens in the audiophile world. Someone has a subjective reaction or perception and then this becomes in their ... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I checked out that audiogeorge website.It put the musings in that post in context.I prefer geoffkait’s website; it’s more entertaining. | |

| Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2 seasdiamond,Perhaps I'm reading the graph wrong - the F228Be's frequency graph isn't labelled like the others - but I'm not seeing a significant bass advantage over the Magico. Also, note the kind of weird downward tilted response of the Magico n... | |

| Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2 I haven’t heard the Salon 2 at length (it sounded spectacular at a show), but I auditioned a few lower models (e.g. Performa) and I had a long audition of the Magico A3. The Magico certainly seemed highly resolving of detail, and had nice spacious... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD those kind of adjectives ( that are " audiophiles " adjectives. ) no one can find out in a live music event seated at near field (1m-2m- ) at true live SPLs.@rauliruegasNonsense.And something of a red herring as well.First, when I hear live un-... | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... @mailman199I have found Dynaudio just a bit dry for me. I’ve always found the same with Dynaudio. I was for a while quite interested in Dynaudio speakers but never could get past that bit of "reserved" buttoned up dryness to the sound.I always enj... |
