| 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... | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? Some excellent insights in the above posts. If I had to summarize, I’d say that the primary cause is that the middle-class was gutted during the last (2008) economic crisis, and continue to struggle. So the amount of time and disposable income ava... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Sure will – thanks again! | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Thanks, you guys are making the choice easy. The speakers will be powered by a re-capped, and very sweet vintage Accuphase E-303 integrated amp (180w into 4ohms). | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Thanks smrex, much appreciated. |
