| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq bumping my question to you above :-) | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq I forgotten you were the one with the thread comparing the Joseph audio perspectives to the Harbeth SuperHL5+. And you went with the josephs. How interesting that you have now swapped the Josephs for the Harbeth 40. I’d ... | |
| Townshend Pods under TT Don’t Do I use the Townsend pods under my turntable and I’m very happy. Several years ago, I bought a high mass turntable - a trans rotor fat Bob S - and I had a flimsy small Lovan rack sitting on a sprung wood floor to work with. The combinat... | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions Wonderful comparison! Very well done. This is the kind of stuff I come to these forms for. Your description is what I would pretty much have guessed At beforehand. | |
| Thiel Owners Wow, great new info from @tomthiel and others! I still love my 2.7s. I wonder what they would sound like upgraded :-) | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? I’m certainly not saying that the “Magic“ isn’t there in the mid range of many of these British speakers. I absolutely adore the sound of my spenders speakers and loved the Harbeth speakers as well. I still think In someways both Vocals in a ... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? As someone who owns Spendor, And has owned the Harbeth SuperHL5plus, and now Joseph Audio Perspectives 2 I can attest to what @helomech wrote. | |

| The Horror That’s interesting OP and unfortunate. Over the years, I’ve observed the experience for most audiophiles attending shows is actually the opposite of yours. Most of us go, perhaps expect to be blown away by something, A lot of surprisingly unimpre... | |
| Thiel Owners Sounds excellent! Thanks for the update Jafant. | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant How is your system? Is it up and running and what gear are you using? (More curious about amps, source etc, not cables...) | |
| Worst Speakers Ever?? The worst "high end" speakers I've ever personally heard are: Every McIntosh Speaker I've ever heard - the ones with the multi tweeters. Just bland, awful sound and a lot of it. Some big expensive NEAT speakers a local dealer demoed for me. He... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Remember when the Tekton Double Impacts were the new "flavour of the month" and (some) reviewers and audiophiles were "dumping their Wilsons" and other more expensive speakers for the DIs? Seems the heat of all that has worn off. Still, it's goo... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? Not a coincidence ;-) | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I'm of two minds about this question. On one hand, I do want my speakers to measure well. It suggests good engineering for one thing. Also, if something is too colored I think it will bother me either immediately or over time. So I always look... |
