| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? Alan Shaw, the designer of Harbeth speakers, has typically strong views on the topic. These three quotes were taken from three separate posts on the Harbeth forum."I really wish this subject of biwiring would just disappear up its own terminals. I... | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Thanks @larryi Interesting point. | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Thanks for the anecdote, @returntomusic. As suggested previously, I'd love to use the old Osiris stands if possible, but if it doesn't work out, I can always buy a pair of correct (in terms of height) stands. | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? @onhwy61 Of course, but I was asking about the views of using any speakers upside down, not only Harbeth. | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? It would be a shame to waste the Osiris, and they are not easy to ship! | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? @yogiboy I am currently using the P3s, but will be using 30.1 or Super HL5+, and the Osiris stands woulds be taller than ideal. | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Thanks for the replies! @millercarbon – he did not say that. I misinterpreted one of his responses on the Harbeth forum.

| Video question: 55" TV recommendations (details within)? Thank you all for your responses!It is, in a way, pleasing that Sony is a consensus choice. I say that because before I moved out of the U.S., I had the last of the flagship Sony XBR CRT TV. It was a monster in terms of weight, but the picture was... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? I am using a near-20 year old Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP, and it sounds superb. Note, however, that I did replace the (Philips) laser once.How long will it last? Don't know, but it's built like a tank. Does it sound as good as more recent models, or... | |
| Billy Cobham Question Very cool, and what a "power" drummer he was/is! | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Yes, I would be restricted to used C7ES3, SH5+, and M30.1, and even some of those would be stretching the budget.Thanks. | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) "Harbeth"Perhaps, but which one? | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Thanks helo – that is helpful! |
