| Little bit "forward" sound - what cables to avoid? I did try Nordost Valhalla ICs once, and they were extremely forward. In fact, that was their primary characteristic. The Kubala-sosna Emotions were not forward(nor recessed either, just neutral in terms of image placement). | |
| new small room, big change Definitely try a pair of Harbeth SHL5s. There's a pair for sale in the $3K range that you could easily turn around and re-sell quickly for about the same price (they don't last long on the used market). I own a pair. | |

| some 70's and 80's receivers seem to be popular Well, I don't know if it was my 16-year-old ears or what, but I spent endless hours in the 70's parked in front of my AR Receiver (AR turntable, Shure V15 type 2 cart., Dynaco A25 speakers) in total bliss.I must have listened to the White Album or... | |
| Review: Harbeth SHL5 30th Anniversary Edition Speaker Yep, they're keepers. It's amazing how many big name speakers have some fatal flaw or need lots of tubes to work well. (Maybe I'll look at 40.1s some time but I have my speakers on the long wall and was afraid they would overdo the bass.) I'm real... | |
| Review: Harbeth SHL5 30th Anniversary Edition Speaker Just to put things succinctly after some more burn-in and listening, my impression is that the SHL5s just create this big, friendly, safe, warm and inviting blob of sound in most of the space between the speakers where all is well. I did some list... | |

| Skylan speakers stands-how much sand? What should I fill the Skylan Stands with? Thanks.I spoke to Noel at Skylan and he advised me to use PURINA MAXX kitty litter for my 4-pillar Harbeth SHL5 stands, but I cannot find this litter in the U.S. or online anywhere.So what should I use? (... | |
| Suggestions on a Musical, Full Range Speaker Magnumpi205 and Tweak1, do you think theReference 3A Grande Veenas, Calypsos or Harbeth 40.1s could be 1-foot from the wall w/o booming? Just curious. Thanks. | |
