| Need longer cables, and tempted to go with used Audience AU24e. Thoughts? Thanks. jaybe – do you mean to suggest that the 24e is a big step up, or only the later versions? | |
| What are the sexiest components ever made? Beogram vertical tracking turntables (I owned one back in the day) were/are pretty damned sexy. | |
| Integrated Amp $1200 or less Another vote for a used Hegel. I have an H160, and am very pleased. | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. I must say that no matter how good the Magtech amp may be, I would be inclined to choose something else solely on the basis of @arctikdeth ’s over-the-top shilling. | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? The above two posts are valuable in that they both touch on what may be useful points. Bi-wiring, for example, with at least some Vandersteen speakers (e.g. 2CE), apparently allows the user to make tonal changes via dials on the back of the speake... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? This sure sounds like hard science. Lots and lots of "I believe" in there. He couldn't even be bothered to listen to it. It is no more authoritative than Vandersteen's anecdotal evidence. Is there any evidence that Richard Vandersteen does not use... | |
| Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ? "So Alan Shaw says it doesn’t matter and Richard Vandersteen says it absolutely matters. Two very respected speaker designers with completely different views of the same subject. Do you just cherry pick one because it supports what you believe or ... | |
| 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. He was referring to a speaker in a confined space. Though he did say that it shouldn’t matter (in terms of bass) whether the w... | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Just curious about whether others have tried this with any speakers, and what their experiences were. |
