| Recommend A More Dynamic Monitor Than Harbeth C7 J.M. Reynards Silver Bliss speakers are overpriced at $2800 and adding their stands (required for optimal sound) only adds insult to injury. Audition the Wharfdale Jade 3 monitors which are $1500, and save yourself a boat load of money. | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Roxy, I hardly feel it is appropriate to state my proposal as being silly. So, in your vaulted opinion, where does the glass ceiling end. You mentioned an older review of the Model 40 in ETM listing the speakers 7K which jumped to approx. $13,000 ... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Some member needs to post a thread asking to list which speakers are in their honest opinion a rip off and possibly why so. Even a venerable company like Harbeth seems to be moving toward this list based on some of the responds I have read here.I ... | |
| Transmission line spks:Close or far from back wall Spencer, Thank you for your suggestions. Fortunately, I must have intuited what you were think. I did NOT change everything back to AS IT WAS, but I moved the speakers closer together, make some measurements as to how far each speaker was from the... | |
| Transmission line spks:Close or far from back wall Roxy, Thank you for the comments. I also love the Adagios... "sometimes";....they have great bass, dynamics, and overall transparency... BUT IN THE NEGATIVE COLUMN, they can often sound bright, more so hard, and the sound is less than musical. But... | |
| Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound? Thanks to all that responded. In regards to the topic, obviously I am pulling from personal experience, and can't say that every minute with my speakers has been a disappointment. I have a bad habit of changing around things like amps, CD players ... | |
| IsoTek System Enhancer: Can it improve the sound? To Jafant, In answering your question about the Purist Audio Design. The original disc which I owned showed improvement in the sound about 6 out of 10 times, but never were the changes dramatic. However, the other 4 out of 10 times, the changes we... | |
| Upgraded Ayre CX-7e to a CX-7e mp: Expect What? Thanks to the members who responded so far. To Jafant, the somewhat questionable cable in the mix is:.... the Nordost Red Dawn from probably vintage 2007. At the time it retailed for $400, and I bought it for $200 in 2012. Nordost is notorious for... | |
| Acoustic Technologies Classic Series... Worth it?? Bill k, Thank you for the feedback. After reading a few reviews closely, there are definitely " limitations" as you noted. Also, based on The Stereo Times review, AT classics seem like trouble trying to tune them in.I just wish I could a find a sm... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? To Pcoombs, I stand corrected, but I doubt it will make me judge them differently. I still believe they are unfairly priced. I have an entire spiel about overpricing speakers in high-end, but I will spare you and others. Does Harbeth make a model ... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Pcoombs, I believe I read about the price in Stereophile about 2 years ago by Sam Tellig who just gushed and raved on about the sound quality. of 30.1 However, my memory may not be correct, but I am sure I saw it there. I guess you could google up... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Could be that many of their speakers have been and are over rated. Sam Tellig and John Atkinson of Stereophile seem to be in love with the company's product. The other reason is that the Harbeth sound appeals to a certain audience, and listener. S... | |

| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Johnnyb53, Thanks for the info and the link. I just got to determine if it is worth the time to convert those LP's to CD. The guy who bought the my Rega T/T wants it shipped out this week Nevertheless,I appreciate your adviceBTW, I got a quote for... | |
| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Let me see if I can quickly address those responses which I appreciate. I have thought about getting out of analog altogether, and that just may happen. The reason I sold the Rega is I like the offer I got for everything: table, speed controller, ... |
