Struggling in choosing Bookshelf Speakers and Amp for a Luxman PD-151 M2! Please help.
@stuartbmw3 +1 Outstanding recommendation!  
Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ?
@akg_ca +1 I've owned many different model Harbeths.  A sibilance problem is  a source problem not a speaker problem!

@grislybutter You seem like a nice person. If it matters my posts were also removed. I’ve been on this site for 20 years and have never requested to have any post removed. I’m dang sure we all know who requested to have our posts removed. BTW, y...

@grislybutter Most likely it’s the same guy that removed his own post. Figure out who that is. Hint: starts with d ends in 3! BTW, I’m surprised he hasn’t had my post removed!  
Phono cartridge noises

"The room is wired for ethernet but as yet not connected I only have WiFi in use." It might be that WiFi is the culprit! Does it sound like this? https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=wifi+noise&mid=CAB8236C0F1AC38DBE1AC...

"as I suspected. I’d prefer to stick with SS." @stuartk FYI: Alan Shaw the owner and designer of Harbeth uses Hegel solid state at many of the HIFI shows. BTW, my friend runs solid state with his Harbeth M30s. Good luck with your search!

This dealer sells those 3 brands. Give him a call and I’m sure he will give you the lowdown on all 3. BTW, I have owned every Harbeth model minus the M40 (too big for my room). I am now using the HL5 and would never call them thin sounding. As a m...

@mrdecibel Gave a great explanation of what I stated. The PV11 has way too much gain for that Pass amp. If you look at Pass preamps the gain is half (9db) of the PV11. The range of the volume control is useless if it is on the lower end of the dia...

In that size room you should be lookin’ for a sealed or front ported type speaker. I have owned many stand mount speakers and I doubt that you would go wrong with my favorite the Harbeth P3 ESR with a good pair of 24"-28" stands. It is a LS3/5a (s...

If you have to turn the volume way down then it is a gain mismatch with the preamp that you are using!
