| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @shadorne Interesting. If I understand correctly, those parameters would put both the Harbeth and the Spendor into your "worst" category.@kosst_amojan How wide is wide in your reckoning? Also wondering how proper radiusing of corners mitigates o... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @prof Hmmm. In my auditioning of the 40.2's in a big room in which they could well and truly breathe, they both imaged and sound-staged extraordinarily well. The Classic 100's in another set-up also did very well on both scores, to my mind.@ana... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? The 40.1's and .2's are a big physical presence in a room. You can look at the dimensions and even mark them out on the floor in painter's tape, but you need to see them to appreciate how imposing they are. If your room can accommodate them, the... | |
| What speakers work well against a wall Audio Note all the way. I was so impressed with their presentation that I was even considering non-optimal location (i.e. away from wall). If you can afford it, go for the big ones in their basic model, though the smaller ones also sound good an... | |

| CD player just tanked. Easy solution. Go with the Sony for a while; there's not going to be too much of a difference. If you're still interested in upgrading after a while, there are always multiple options on the 'gon at a variety of price points for a newer but used... | |
| Class D Audio A new and cryptic way of shilling for this?http://classdaudio.com/?SID=1174e495ee1db38505cb739042440d36 | |
| Dac Technology Mature? Mature, yes, in the sense that you can engineer tube amps that sound a lot like solid state, and solid state amps that sound a lot like tubes. W.r.t. DACs, unless you go out of your way to engineer something that sounds a lot different from the c... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @ctsooner Point taken. But all I can say is that hearing Mahler/large symphony orchestra in full hue and cry on the Harbeths produced the most lifelike sound, from the point of view of scale and sheer majesty, that I've heard from any loudspeaker... | |
| Options on Belles / Belles Aria? I left Rogue and moved on to Belles. Out of the box, cold, competent but nothing magical; after 50 hours or so they really started to sing, and still a little more so each day. Brilliantly designed, well-made, honest, un-hyped, fairly priced in t... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under I haven't read through the whole thread, but if your ceiling is 15K I'm surprised not to find mention here of the Harbeth 40.2. I heard them recently and thought them extraordinarily good. After the first few seconds of playing the first cut, wh... | |

| Impressive Audiogon, Great Job! It's expand-your-vocabulary day today. And today's word is: sycophancy. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with The tiles are dreadful. The keyholes even worse. You can't rapidly see what's being advertised; product name fades into gray, along with all the fuzzy around the circular photo. PLEASE GO BACK TO PREVIOUS VERSION. |
