| Warm romantic & detailed Vu of Deja Vu in Wash DC (a major Harbeth dealer) maintains the 40.2's need a minimum of 2' to the sides and really 3' behind them. I don't have experience with 40.1's but it seems likely they might need more. My 40.2's sound "just right" to me,... | |
| Puritan PSM156 Yes, he's got a little bit of a groundswell going over on AudioCircle, but I thought it deserved being brought to people's attention here too. | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? @jrapp No. Remember that IKE is infallible. | |
| Power strips- too many choices Remember, power strips are just power distributors, they multiply the number of receptacles. A lot of strips do a little bit more, but at that point they are really low-end conditioners.Surge protectors do what their name implies.Then there are b... | |
| Ayre or Bryston separates for Harbeth 30.2 XD speaker If it's between those two specifically, Ayre. | |
| is the amp too powerful..and would it hurt or damage my speakers? You're more likely to damage your speakers with an underpowered amp. | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) Given the general stagnation of speaker design (there are exceptions) you could only really expect the Dyns to be different, not necessarily better. A high percentage of modern speaker designs incorporate a (somewhat) tilted up mid-high end, perh... | |
| I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ... Dutch & Dutch seem very appealing--active done right. For people who don't want to mess around and for people trying to reduce boxes/clutter, clearly the way to go. | |
| Warm romantic & detailed @jeffinnh76 There are significant differences between the .1 and the .2/.3. The crossover in the 40.2 was changed to make it more living-room friendly. The 40.1 could boom in too small rooms or when not carefully positioned. The differences be... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT @karmapolice The 40.2's were my get-off-the-merry-go-round speakers. You may regret this. | |
| Which speakers to be ''in'' the music? Once again mostly just a top-ten list of individuals’ preferred speakers. | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? Acrolink/Acrotec is widely underappreciated.I have Acrolink IC's from long ago, and try as I might, I've never found another brand or model that sounds better than themSadly never had one of their PCs.It's a pity the brand isn't more widely availa... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Yes, please compare with your MC462. | |
| Sorry, it’s not me, it’s you? So that makes 2 1/2 audio geniuses, and the rest of us mere mortals.That feeling of relief is the absolute best gauge of having done the right thing. You can try to argue yourself into liking/keeping something, but if your gut is telling you othe... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) If you think about all the material and mechanical elements that go into the construction of speaker drivers, it's clear that speakers will need a break-in period (just as car engines used to do). On the other hand, it's true that whatever change... |
