| Harbeth Super HL5+ vs. Focal Kanta No.2 prof2,When I say sizzle I don't mean a sharpness of any kind although, yes, some recordings sound more sharply sibilant. Maybe I am using the wrong term but I want the recording to sound more alive than what the Harbeth's will do with certain reco... | |
| Harbeth Super HL5+ vs. Focal Kanta No.2 Anyone? | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ WOW! Thanks guys for the tremendous amount of information. At present I still have the Harbeth's hooked up and they are sounding better (I think?). I purchased them new and I didn't hear any difference up to 100 hours. They now have approx. 150 ho... | |
| Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+ avanti1960,WOW, great comparison! Did the SHL5+ need much break in? Mine are at 100-150 hours of break in and I believe they are getting better although Harbeth states that they need very little break in.These are my first Harbeths. I have mixed f... | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers timlub1,I live in the Allentown, Pa. area, about 60 miles north of Philadelphia along the east coast of Pa. near NJ.pokey77,Yes, the synergy between the CJ LP70s tube amp and the Harbeth Super HL5+ is different than what I'm used to. Some listener... | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers timlub1,I do agree about vocal sibilance and it having to do something with singing to closely to the microphone. The Ascends and Harbeths both show it. The AA's are nice and detailed but I was hoping spending a little more for a three-way that wi... | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers millercarbon,The video is impressive but I believe they may be too large for my room. I've never had a speaker of that size in my room. Not sure they would satisfy. Something smaller is what I am looking for. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers wolf_garcia,Never was a fan of horn speakers and I think now the wide baffle but thank you for the suggestion. I believe I may be looking more for the narrower baffled speakers. | |
| Looking to upgrade my 3-way towers I mainly listen to rock, some jazz and pop vocal. The Ascends do perform well but I thought shelling out for a pair of speakers in the $10000 range would give me more refinement (more musicality, you are there presence) than the Ascends. At times,... | |

| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. I went ahead and ordered a brand new pair of Harbeth Super HL5 Plus. speakers. They are now enroute to me. I am looking forward to hearing the difference between the wider baffle Harbeth's vs.the taller, slimmer Ascend Acoustics & Dynaudio's.f... | |
| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. Anyone else interested in this post? | |
| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. georgehifi,I can only place the speakers 2 ft. max away from the back wall (Room dimensions: 13 x 18.5 ft. ). Just looking at their dimensions I would think the 11a & 13a would be too large and the bass would be too boomy although I realize bo... | |
| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. thecarpathian,While the Ascends are fine speakers I have had them for several years and am used to their sound and am ready to change to another speaker, preferably in a higher price range. I am a believer that a more costly speaker will bring you... | |
| Looking to upgrade floorstander speakers. jdal,Do you use the Tribeca's with a sub(s)? Bass not boomy with the 2 eight inchers? |
