| Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening? The SHL5s will not be optimized in a 10' x 10' space. The performance will be severely compromised even if the room is treated. It may be more worthwhile to ascertain whether the C7s will sound good in the room(rather than the SHL5s fitting that s... | |
| Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening? Listening to the M40s three feet away is stretching it. Not impossible but just not optimized. Large full range speakers perform best in mid or far-field configurations in large spaces. In a 10'x 10' room, yes to the Compact 7ES-3, no to the SHL-5... | |
| Clearaudio Maestro Wood or AT33PTG/II For Rega P5 Any recommendations on a cartridge that is superior to the Clearaudio Maestro Wood? My friend doesn't know what to replace it with. Thanks. | |
| Clearaudio Maestro Wood or AT33PTG/II For Rega P5 Hi Jaytea,Thanks again for the post. I will update this thread if it happens that I end up with the Clearaudio Maestro. However, it wouldn't be too soon, probably in the 3rd quarter of the year when he is done with the Maestro and wants to try som... | |
| magnepan 1.7 or 3.7 vs spendor s8e Best is to listen and judge for yourself as others here have mentioned. I've listened to the 1.7s driven by the latest Bryston 4B-SST few months ago. That was the first time I listened to a pair of planar speakers. Couldn't warm up to the sound al... | |
| Proac ReferTablette 8 Sig or Totem Model 1 Sig ? Meiwan got it right. The Totem Model 1 is weightier in the mids and bass. Both are bright sounding speakers, perhaps the highs on the Proac are more delicate and refined, slightly more detail. The treble on the Totem can be slightly unrefined when... | |
| Clearaudio Maestro Wood or AT33PTG/II For Rega P5 Thanks Jaytea. It is a coincidence that you own both cartridges. Your description on the differences between both cartridges is certainly useful as a friend may be selling his Clearaudio Maestro Wood, and I am thinking of trying it out. I think I ... | |
| Help me with treating my room It may be worthwhile to work on the speaker placement as this will often produce the biggest improvement apart from room treatment. I've looked at the pictures of your room, personally I don't think you need any commercial room treatment though yo... | |
| Does Harbeth Have Plans Penetrating PC Market? Thanks for all responses. We have several desktop systems in the house and will not be considering monitor speakers for this setup which is in the living room. It's either a soundbar or no speakers at all since the usage is mainly internet browsin... | |
| Question for you B&W Guys Some serious kit there. If you love the B&W sound, it might be worthwhile to explore the latest Diamond series although they may cost higher than the older Nautilus and S series. I have listened to a pair of N802 and although good, not outstan... | |
| Luxman 505u vss LFD LE Mkiv with Harbeth Have not tried Luxman L505u though I've read about the raw and forward presentation of it even when matched with the Harbeth. Listened to LFD MkIII and Leben CS600 with the Harbeth. The LFD and Leben appear to be a very good match to the Harbeth, ... | |
| Wharfdale 10.1 speaker: budget superstar or hype?? A friend who owns the Diamond 10.1 in his home theater setup has recommended these to me as a budget overachiever. He owns the Harbeth P3ESR in his study and Audio Physic Avantera in his main system. The 10.1 does not have the refinement of the co... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature Sorry Raindog031, I do not have direct experience with the C1 although I have listened to it in a system several years ago. Perhaps existing C1 owners could advise, and I presume some may have tried several amps with the speakers before deciding o... | |
| Dynaudio c1 signature 01-26-12: JkucActually I rediscovered rock with C1 and Mastersound (didn't sound so great with Plinius). The Plinius is inherently a warm and smooth sounding amp that has good punch and dynamics. A good match to forward and bright sounding speaker... | |
