| Threshold SA/4E or Pass X-250?? Bombaywalla,I was thinking more in terms of my room getting hot (and me) :( | |
| Threshold SA/4E or Pass X-250?? Thanks for the info. I might hold out and try and get one of the 250.5s. The Threshold I have heard and it is something special. But it is very old, and runs very hot. | |
| Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII I used the Simaudio LP5.3 with and without the PSX5.3 power supply with the XX2 MKII for over two years. Tried several others during that time but seemed to always keep (prefer) the Sim. Lots of detail with slight warmth. Big soundstage Lots of op... | |
| McIntosh MA7000 or MC252? In this review they say the sound quality of the 7000 is better than the 252 due circut layout. No idea if thats true or not.http://www.sonicflare.com/archives/mcintosh-laboratory-ma7000-integrated-amp-review.php | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Audionote makes one in your price range I heard at length a couple weeks ago. ($5500.00)They were very nice with 10 watt 300B amps. great bass. Also depending on room size and how loud, I've driven my Harbeth SHL5s with 22 watts of 845 and the sou... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Pdreher went from Dynaudio to Harbeth. You might want to check with him on his findings. Good luck. | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Well with close to $20K in hand it came down to three speakers. Vandersteen 5a, Audio Note AN-E/LX signature and Harbeth 40.1s. I loved them all, ended up ordering the Harbeths and keeping the electronics i already have.. | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 I preferred the SHL5 when i bought mine. To me they were a little warmer, and had better bass. I use mine in a 15X20X8 room w/REL sub. Cant go wrong with either, but i think in your room I would go with the bigger speaker. Audio Note has a speaker... | |

| Preamp for Thiel 1.6's When I used the Thiels with krell amps. The BAT preamps added a some warmth and alot of body that was missing. | |
| Speaker stands height for Harbeth Compact 7es3 My Sound Anchor stands came prefilled, sealed, and weigh a ton. Not sure what they use. | |
| Speaker stands height for Harbeth Compact 7es3 If the 18" stands get the tweeters to ear level then they should work fine. I think Sound Anchor makes three 17, 19, & 20" that fit the 7s. | |
| Peachtree Nova and REL Sub possible? It will work fine. The REL cable has three wires. Red and Yellow positive, and black negative. The red goes to the left or right positive post, and the yellow goes to the other post. The black goes to either negitive post. Email me if i can help y... | |
| Which low output MC cartridge This is just my opinion, but I would put that $1K towards a better phonostage if it was my money. Something like a used Simaudio LP5.3 would be a bigger improvement than adding a better cartridge with the Creek you are using now.I've had the both ... | |
| Is anyone using Harbeth speakers with a sub-woofer I am using the SHL5s with a REL R505. Set up was quick and mine has been a big improvment over listening without a sub. I set it up one time over a year ago, and have never had to move it since. |
