| Advice about what to do with not-needed tubes? Since your system didn't benefit with tubes,you should return the tubes and go back to solid state. | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS I have owned the C7 and the P3 and had them side by side in my 20 x 15 size room hooked up to 70 watt Quicksilver tube amps. All I can say is I thought the smaller P3's blew the larger 7's away. The P3's just seem to disappear when used in a small... | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated I think the Rogue Sphinx at 1295.00 would be a nice choice. At 100 watts it will drive your speakers fine. You will have the extra cash leftover for nice speakers and stands. | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated What features do you need on the preamp? Phono,remote,tubes,etc. And how much power do you want on the amp? | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS The HL5 would be too much for a small room like yours,I think you would be better off with the smaller sealed P3ESR. You should stay away from a ported speaker ,they need more room at the rear and side than a sealed one. I tell you this from my ow... | |
| which sub to get SVS SB-1000 is a nice sealed sub. I used one with Harbeths and they would blend nice with any speaker. SVS has a 45 day return policy,so if you don't like it you can return it with full refund. | |
| Tesla Tubes If you want to try nice 12ax7 ( ECC 83) tubes you should give the Sylvania Baldwin green label or the GE from the 50's or 60's a try. I think they are better sounding than any of the newer tubes produced now. BTW,these are made in USA and the pric... | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? I don't think there is any problem. Companies lose distributors. It happened with Spendor a few years ago until they where picked up by another one. I took a look at their site and it looks like they have many new products, so I doubt they are fol... | |
| Conrad Johnson ET3se connected to a subwoofer If you are looking for a speaker with powerfull bass forget about the C7. I owned them and thought that they lacked in the bass. As a matter of fact I have the smaller P3ESR and I think the bass on them is way better . | |
| What are used tubes worth ? Not much,just keep them for spares! | |
| Audio Space LS-3/5a Bookshelf with SW-1a Subs I can't see any problem since the room is not large and you're not into head banging type of music! | |
| dedicated preamp. I don't think it would make any difference since you are staying with a YBA preamp ! I think if you call YBA they will tell you the same ! | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle " What has happened to me ???"You grew up ! It happens to the best of us ! | |
| Harbeth 30.1's w/Leben CS-1000P or CS-600 I use Harbeth P3ESR's (sensitivity 83 db) with 50 watt tube amps in a 20x15 size room with no problem. I can't see any problem driving the more sensitive 30's in a smaller room with the amp you want to use. I also agree that power is overrated! | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle I have two of them on vinyl that I purchased new back around '84.I agree these are outstanding recordings! |
