| Naim Hicap2 vs Teddycap vs Avondale power supplies Smholl,May I know if the Teddycap made an appreciable difference specifically to the bass when you added the unit onto your XS integrated? Did the bass gain considerable depth, definition, tautness and impact when the Teddycap was added? Did the A... | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. Bass is not Harbeth's forte. I have the SHL5 in a similar room and although bass performance is decent, bass doesn't go too deep and lacks tautness and agility in comparison to some other dynamic speakers that excel on bass. You might want to look... | |
| Harbeth vs Proac To add to the above, electronics play a part in getting the Harbeths to sing to their potential, as usual with most good speakers. Due to the inherent characteristic of the Harbeths in their warm and smooth sound signature, a dynamic amp(as oppose... | |
| Harbeth vs Proac I have owned the newest 7's, I liked them, but they lacked the resolution of my Coincident. The midrange, just like everyone else says, is still the best I have heard. I have been thinking about the 30's, because of the better tweeter, but they ma... | |
| Is anyone using Harbeth speakers with a sub-woofer I use the SHL5's with a PMC TLE1 subwoofer in a 11'x17'x8' room. Works great. | |
| Confidence c1 vs cremona auditor m vs proac d28 Sorry to say I am not a fan of Sonus Fabers although there are many fans out there, some which include my friends. Out of the three I would pick either the C1 or D28. The C1's are bookshelves while the D28's are floorstanders. It is a matter of pr... | |
| Comparing two integrated's... Reviews are useful but my experience tells me never to trust reviews if you are able to listen to the gear or equipment personally to determine whether it will suit your listening preference. My latest amp I bought received excellent reviews by 6M... | |
| Moderate Priced Integrated Amp All the amps recommended here sound different from each other so it is best if you can audition some to determine which one will suit your listening preference best. | |
| Naim/Linn/Arcam to match Proac response 1sc? Go with Naim. I have owned older Arcams and listened to the Naim XS. If you want crisp sound, fast transients, and good pace and timing, the Naim will give you that. There are many users who love the the musicality of Arcams. The Arcams will be so... | |
| integrated or separates...on a $1200 price point? Separates give you flexibility in mixing and matching while integrateds give you simplicity and convenience in a one-box. The main advantage of separates is when huge power-hungry speakers are used and huge amount of power is required to drive the... | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? Hi Pdreher. Thanks for the recommendation. Will keep the Mac in mind. I knew the MC275 was something special since the sonic attributes appealed to me even though I was using a pretty lousy preamp on it the last time I tried the MC275 MkIV. Still ... | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? Glad the McIntosh worked out for you. The 40.1's are truly great speakers and I can imagine wonderful music being reproduced in the room by the glowing tubes of the McIntosh MC275. Hope you would attain an even higher level of sound and musicality... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR+Linn Sub or Bigger Harbeth Speakers Apart from size, all P3ESR, C7ES3 and SHL5 sound quite a bit different from each other. Hence I would suggest you pick one based on your listening preference apart from the size of cabinet to suit your room. The P3ESR although a small speaker with... | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Depends on the mood.Most of the time with some lights on. | |
| Harbeth HLP3ESR Although I have not listened to the Linn, I suspect one won't get higher degree of dynamics and slam other than an LFD/Harbeth pairing. The flabby bass reported by Coverto may be due to the limitations of the small P3ESR as this speaker won't be a... |
