| 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. | |
| Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30? Thanks very much, yogiboy, that is quite helpful!I have been leaning in that direction all along, especially since heavy bass is of little importance to me, and the reviews of the P3ESR are almost uniformly very positive.What are you driving yours... | |
| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have I am one of those who has little problem staying put for long periods, though it may take a while to reach that sweet spot of system synergy.I did not change my system in the U.S. for 15 years after having spent a couple of years tweaking and audi... | |
| The one piece of gear you will never sell Hard to imagine selling my Jeff Rowland Concentra integrated amp. Spectacular and beautiful piece of equipment. | |
| suggestion For speaker cables between focal electra be and accuphase E-560 I can't comment on your specific components, but I have been delighted with my Virtual Dynamic David speaker cables when used both with a Jeff Rowland Concentra and vintage Accuphase T-303, the former paired with Green Mountain Audio Callistos, an... | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad This is a useful overview of the history of rap, with emphasis on the best of the performers each year:http://www.complex.com/music/2016/01/the-best-rapper-alive-every-year-since-1979/ | |
| Decision Decision Decision between Cary and Audio Research Sound Well, I'm biased, but if you can find one, I'd spend a bit more and go for a Jeff Rowland Concentra (I or II). I own the first version, and it is sensational.Regards,Tony | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad @ps I was primarily referring to this:"This is one of the most insipid and vacuous threads on this website. There is an elephant in this room and it has little to do with musical taste."I (and others) had been directly addressing that elephant th... |
