| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound I agree with your statement Shadorne. Most(not all) small bookshelves that I have owned seem to sound forced with pumped up bass in order to sound "big". After listening to the Harbeth speakers, I realized what I've been missing all this while. I'... | |
| Harbeth 7es-3 Sound I just listened to 3 models in the Harbeth line of speakers at a local dealer today. They were the SHL-5, Compact 7ES-3 and the M30. Out of the three speakers, the M30 was shut-in and laidback compared to the other two, and that didn't appeal to m... | |
| Heard McIntosh 275 For The First Time. Thanks for the responses. I have received some advice here that it's got more to do with matching than anything else. My PMC speakers obviously sound better with the Mcintosh 275 as the warm-sounding nature of these speakers coupled with the equal... | |
| ProAc Tablette 50 or Quad 12L? Garryh,I would appreciate if you can advise on the differences between ALmarro 318A and 318B. From what I understand, the 318A is not as powerful as the 318B. Will the 318A have enough power to drive the Proac Tablette 50 Signature? Thanks in adva... | |
| Help Finding my system bright... Lots of good advice above. Just to chime in on the Plinius amp. I have a similar amp, and it is a dark-sounding amp. Totem speakers, I presume not bright. The two matched up together are supposed to give a warm sound.Verdict - speaker placement an... | |
| Strange amplifier problem I presume the amp is New Audio Frontiers Legend II, a Danish amp. 1st blown fuse last week when this thread was posted :[url]http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1235316751[/url] | |
| 2 Channel Sub Woofer, 1 or 2 Sub-woofers? After reading all responses here now I'm wondering whether to fork out another $2,500 for a similar subwoofer for my 2-channel system. I have another $600 subwoofer currently relegated to HT duties due to its incompetence when compared to the $2,5... | |
| Audio Research Tube AMP Reliability I own the LS-16 preamp for 3 years and never had an issue. I owned the Sonic Frontiers Line 1 for 3 years, different story. It went into the repair workshop at least once a year without failure. After 4 failures in 3 years, I eventually got rid of... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? 02-04-09: MartyklMinimonitors, whether alone (ProAc's Tablette is the best iamging mini I've heard) 02-04-09: StereoProAc! Any model.I picked up a pair of used Proac Tablette 50 Signatures not too long ago and have to concur with the above. The Pr... | |
| I am sick of cables I was wondering why studios that record the music we are listening are not using super expensive cables...I believe recording studios use cables that are far cheaper in comparison to what you have right now. | |
| Diminished sound in left channel Definitely not the fuse. If the fuse of the amp is blown the amp wouldn't power up in the first place. I highly suspect it's the Classe amp although it can be the PS Audio DAC. Try plugging in a spare source such as a DVD player into your Classe a... | |
| The times have savaged my system My first receiver was a Yamaha DSP-something(forgotten the model) and can attest to most comments here on the excellent sound quality. It can rival many integrateds costing twice its used price in terms of build and sound quality. If building a ch... | |
| Do Plinius amps have high frequency anomalies? I own the SA-100MkIII. Instead of experiencing sibilance and a slight tilt in the high frequencies, I got a smooth tube-like midrange with a treble that's just right. It depends on the speakers you are driving with the Plinius. The Plinius has a d... | |
| You're probably listening too loud The recommended guidelines set by OSHA is mainly applicable at the workplace, probably in construction sites where most noise is present. With sound levels approaching to those levels, employers are encouraged to provide protectors such as earplug... | |
| You're probably listening too loud One can listen at high volume levels but the real question is how long can the ears tolerate that. Constant exposure to loud music is malicious to the ears in the long-run and can be a cause to tinnitus. Of course there is no harm in having a blas... |
