| B&W 805 or Monitor Audio Silver for Creek 5350SE? Get the 805S. It's a better speaker overall compared to the Monitor Audio. I've heard the MA silver series few years ago and those speakers have thin midrange and lacked body, hence the perceived brightness. Answers to your questions:-1) It is suf... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? For the record, I'm not going to try his suggestions of using stock cords. That is drivel to me as well but still it is solely his opinion. In order not to end up with a heated argument, his advice entered my right ear but went out through my left. | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Thank you for all your opinions. Actually he is a dealer carrying another line of cable(interconnects and speaker cable only) which he strongly advocates. He has a strong opinion on the type of cables that are to be used for a piece of equipment t... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Thanks for the suggestions, and the humor Kurt_tank. I guess it is a matter of differing preferences or philosophy that has led to the criticism. I have no problems taking that in my stride. It's just that I thought the choice of words could be to... | |
| Monitors for Extreme Near-field listening If your computer desk is against the wall and your listening position is directly in front of the flat screen monitor of the PC, I would concur with Entrope's idea. | |
| PMC AB1 &LB1..ANY IMPRESSIONS I enjoyed the full sound of the LB1, and they will sound great with quality gears. I have no experience with AB1 so can't comment on that one. With the large 9" driver, I presume the AB1 will sound much larger with a greater sense of scale, realis... | |
| SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3 It depends on priorities but in a larger room I would prefer a speaker with large drivers(8" or bigger) over a speaker with small drivers + subwoofers although the latter is preferable in smaller rooms. Larger speakers sound fuller with greater sc... | |
| PMC AB1 &LB1..ANY IMPRESSIONS As you own both pair of speakers I suppose you would be well familiar with the sound yourself. I own the LB1 Signature and find them to have a full nice sound and great bass. Imaging is not the best and high frequency not too open. I drive the spe... | |
| SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3 I would offer a different thought on the issue of sound coloration contributed by the speaker cabinet particularly in the Harbeth line of speakers. Every speaker will be colored to some extent with the box contributing to the coloration. In the ca... | |
| If you could do a blind shootout... Harbeth Super HL-5(up to $5,000) and Compact 7ES-3. | |
| Living Voice vs PMC? Thanks for the information. I didn't notice any Vifa drivers mentioned in the PMC webpage. I guess that explains the price difference between the EB1 and IB2 in the use of higher quality midrange driver. At any rate, the EB1 is still a significant... | |
| Living Voice vs PMC? Sashav, may I know where did you get the info on the EB1 having the same drivers as the OB1? The OB1 is totally different from the EB1. As a matter of fact, the EB1 is essentially similar to the IB2 since it was developed from the IB1. All drivers... | |
| Living Voice vs PMC? I agree with Shadorne on the bigger PMCs. If you can afford it, you should look at EB1, a 3-way which features a Sonolex tweeter, dedicated 3" midrange driver and 10" woofer. If out of your budget, you might want to look at the Harbeth SHL-5. This... | |
| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound Curio, thanks for the response. After numerous feedbacks from owners, it does appear that the SHL-5 seems to be a better speaker. I've decided to go with the SHL-5. Nevertheless, the latest C7ES-3 sounds very good too as there is very little diffe... | |
| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound Thanks for the recommendation Bongofury. I am not exactly looking for small speakers but more towards mid-sized speakers. The Harbeth Compact 7ES-3 is not exactly small in size with its 8" woofer and the SHL-5 is larger in cabinet volume. I do kno... |
