Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Ken, I can only imagine your face after you hear these babies. Obviously you loved what you heard with the proto types, which I didn't have the opportunity to hear. These speakers are very exciting. I'm looking forward to others buying or at least... 
Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong?
My music may have "pissed" off my parents, but it wasn't written for that purpose. Pragmatist, if you played your music to annoy your parents; well that's another thread....music incites and provokes, but as to why and how, remains an internal aff... 
Best Integrated for under $1000
A used YBA Integre if you can find one. The best SS 50 watts I've ever heard. Owned one for 7 years. happy hunting 
Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong?
so much music; so little time. a minute is still a minute. I have oodles of different music and oodles more I want to buy (including my new found friend Tom Waits--) There isn't an Evelyn Wood speed listening course is there? Ben, you're always a ... 
Analysis Plus Crystal ovals vs. Nordost Valhalla??
I'm putting in my order, next week, (finally have the $$) for a pair of Harmonix Golden Performance ICs. Never heard them, but heard tons of second hand (amazing) experiences. Enough to order a pair. I know a fellow audiophool, with a pair golden-... 
what are the distances for setting up monitors?
of course this is all room dependent, but I go with an equilateral triangle (that would be, in your case 7 feet speaker to speaker and listener to speaker-i) to start, and then move my chair back a little at a time until I have perfection. In my r... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Roy that's a very good point. With me, the short comings usually come out over a longer time. Perhaps looking back at my review I was so gah gah that it sounds like this speaker is perfect. The shortcomings? You notice what I was saying about the ... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Tom, I was equally impressed, and looking back at my review (see why this is not my forte) I see that I mentioned little about the midrange. Transparent? Yes indeed. Very low levels of coloration. Female vocals (the true test) clear, open and very...

Hey guys. Some of you have sent me some aside emails. I thank you for your thoughts. 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Dan, did that really come across, that I liked them? I thought I was, perhaps, a little to laid back. If you love your F30s I can only imagine how you'll feel 'bout these babies. I've heard your Revels. Fasten your seatbelt. You have no idea....

I pay $20 apiece for these babies, brand spanking new. Only down side is I have to go for 20 of them for a minimum order. Great deal otherwise. I've done it twice and split the third order with a buddy. Got a good stack of those babies. As analog ... 
How to clean the tweeter or woofers?
short bursts from a can of compressed air. I keep a more distance from the tweeter, do to the intensity of the air, but the woofer you can get on top of. Done once a week and you'll never have a build-up. FWIW. 
great little speakers
Wasn't at the show. The Caravelles will not work in a wall unit. They deserve (are designed to) to be on the dedicated stands that come with them. These speakers were designed with the principles of resonance transferrence from the cabinet to the ...
