| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Hi Kendrick,Thanks for your thoughtful reply.There were demos, so they should already be broken in.I am powering them with a re-capped, vintage Accuphase E-303 amp, which is both high-quality and plenty powerful. I will, in the coming months, be i... | |
| Best SS integrated for Pro Ac Response 3.8 I have owned a first generation Concentra for many years, and have never had the urge to replace it. Fantastic amp. | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? OK, sorry for the belated update.I ended up auditioning both, and have gone with the P3ESR. While both speakers predictably have strengths and weaknesses, let me begin by saying that the assertions in the above post are ludicrous. I don't mean to ... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I owned a pair back in the day, and enjoyed them very much. I drove them with a Bryston amp. one of my sources was a Nakamichi 600 cassette deck – what a beauty! | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Thanks ryder. I am close to making a decision, and will update extensively when finished. | |
| Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7 @Maplegrovemusic Funny that you should mention the synergy between Bryston and Magnepan. I say that because – and I'm dating myself – one of my favorite systems that I ever developed featured an original Bryston 4B and first generation Magnepan Ty... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Count me in the "never UPS" camp. FedEx is far safer, in my view. | |
| Integrated decision - dartzeel or gryphon This may not be terribly helpful, as I have not heard either of those that you mention. However, while I have heard newer and more expensive amps in the interim, I have felt absolutely no desire to "upgrade" from my Jeff Rowland Concentra for the ... | |
| Forgive my ignorance (vintage amp input question)... @jea48 Thanks very much. Actually, I had done just that, without fully thinking to through. So, when Tape 1 is engaged, the a/v source seems to work fine (and the "Source" button disengages). As you pointed out, there are actually are four line le... | |
| Forgive my ignorance (vintage amp input question)... Another question – and I may well remain confused – as it appears that the DISC channels were also designed for a TAPE function, would the same (gain and RIAA) issues hold true? In other words, is it possible that the amp is designed to defeat tho... | |
| Forgive my ignorance (vintage amp input question)... Ah, thank you. Odd that the CD sounded so good when I tested it.How difficult would it be to modify one of the inputs to use as a second AUX? | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Thanks guys. A head-on comparison would be ideal, and I haven't ruled one out.@valinar Yes, the helpful contributors on the HF, including Alan Shaw, were fairly persuasive in recommending the M30.I have little doubt that I would be happy with eith... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? The plot thickens...I am very close to making a decision, but have received some strong, contrary opinions on the Harbeth forum. Not that the P3 isn't held in very high regard – it is. But that the M30 is a better speaker overall, and that the adv... | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? @kenjit Why on earth would I do that, given your behavior?In any case, every room and each piece of associate equipment create certain advantages and disadvantages, synergies and lack thereof, so any comparison would be fruitless. | |
| Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker? I’m a bit late to the "party", but am happy to add my support of Roy. I have purchased two sets of speakers from GM, and was not only very happy with their performance, but was extremely impressed with Roy’s personalized attention to my various qu... |
