| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @donquichotte Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed, clear comparison. BTW, I wasn’t aware of the BBC dip. What is that -- equal parts stout, kippers and Stilton? :o) | |

| Sphere! @larsman Perhaps we simply hear differently, but to my ears, The Brotherhood sounds very little like the Black Crowes, who were clearly drawing from 70’s Rock bands such as Free, Faces and Let It Bleed/Sticky Fingers/Exile period Stones. The Bro... | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @hilde45 FWIT, I've had sound in my room that's run the gamut from euphonically warm with mushy bass to "skeletal" (or however one describes the opposite of "well fleshed out") with well defined bass and piercing highs. @riccitone Thanks for... | |
| Sphere! @larsman I will check them out. Are you familiar with Chris Robinson Brotherhood ? | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @yogiboy ... as I suspected. I’d prefer to stick with SS. @simao Unfortunately, I’m ignorant of the respective sonic attributes of ham and gravy. . .I can only assume gravy is "wetter"while ham accentuates the playful, humorous aspects... @p... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? @ghdprentice I see. Thanks for the explanation. | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @pdreher Thanks for the suggestion. @yogiboy Are you driving them with tubes or SS? I'm aware of G. Rubin -- thanks. | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @pdreher Thanks for that useful clarification. "Warm, dark, full-bodied and organic" is my preferred direction, although I lack the cash and room for something of the 40.1's dimensions. | |
| Sphere! @larsman I've been aware, just not interested. Is the outfit with J. Mayer the Dead? ? ? | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? So, if the Cremonas were perfect with SS amplification, why did you eventually move to tubes? | |
| Sphere! Huh? Did Garcia's widow manage to have him cloned? | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? @ghdprentice Were you already using tube amplification at that point? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I didn't mean for my remarks to sound so combative. Sorry about that. Dunno why the thought of a simple sound effect triggered such a strong reaction. | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? @ghdprentice I’ve found references to the Electa Amator II being more traditionally voiced than the III. And what I've read is consistent with what you say about the Guarneri Homage. I’m curious -- did you become a S. Faber aficionado before ... |
