| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 The Super HL5plus is DEFINITELY not lacking in treble, either measurably or sonically. It sounds open and airy. The C7 didn't sound lacking to me either.The 30.1 was a tad darker sounding than the two above, but still very nice. | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 If someone likes the Harbeths, I doubt they'd really like the Spendor floor standers. They don't have that lush organic sound of the Harbeths. | |
| Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3 I really enjoy whenever I hear the Harbeth 7s and personally, given they have rich bass for their size, I find they do both the "organic Harbeth" sound but are also "fun" for any type of music. Great speaker. Frankly I don’t know lots of speakers ... | |
| Tell us about your acoustic treatments I did a reno of my two channel listening room (our living room - most of the family’s actual "living" takes place in the back family room), turning it in to dual duty as a projection-based home theater and 2 channel audio room. I involved an acous... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielOver on the AVSforum, there is a thread on the current science of loudspeaker design, essentially touting the "NRC/Harman Kardon" school of speaker design (itself based on lots of prior research).The eminent Floyd Toole responded to an in... | |
| Does anyone have experience with Devore O/96, Tannoy Legacy Cheviot and JBL 4429? Adam,I love the Devore 0/96 and considered purchasing a pair.A little bit of information that might, or might not be relevant for you:The design of the Devore speakers entails that they need at least 8 feet o beyond listening distance to really co... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks displayname!I hope so too.But I am self-aware enough to realize it's unlikely I have found an "end-game" speaker in the Josephs, simply due to my own proclivity for liking different aspects of different speakers.I"d say though that of any s... | |
| Black Ash..... Cripes, had to go to Best Buy recently. Ended up in the audio/home theater section. It was nothing but a sea of Black Ash speakers as far as the eye could see (mostly Polk). The stuff of nightmares.I needed time in my "safe space" afterwards. | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? twoleftears,From what I've seen John D say on the subject, it sounded like the Snell speakers were the bigger inspiration for his going the wide baffle route. | |
| What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker? In my mind, this is an artifact of tone, not actual driver speed, but since panel and cones couple so differently to a room, panels are often described as fast, while cones as slow. This is not really what’s going on, but whatever. :) Agreed, that... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar2 vs dynaudio confidence 20 vs tad-me1 gyoungblood,Interesting analysis, thanks.Fascinating that you reference greater directionality in the upper frequencies of the tweeter used in the Joseph speakers. They have a wide reputation for a wide sweet spot and consistent sound off axis. | |
| Was the Snell Secret a Wide Baffle? Erik,I have been lately "seduced" by what seems to be a commonality among some wide-baffle speakers. I’m thinking mostly of Harbeth and Devore O series (may be missing some). Both those speaker lines seem to produce a richer/fuller-than-usual soni... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I won't be picking them up until sometime next week. | |
| Devore The Nines owners compare The Nines to The Super Nines or ....? I just bought Joseph Audio Perspective (1) speakers.(And I'm keeping my Thiel 2.7s as well). | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers rocrayI sold my Thiel 3.7s a while back, but I'm hanging on to the Thiel 2.7s I've referenced here for, as you say, a different flavor. It would be very hard to let go of those given I love how they look and their performance is just crazy good f... |
