Compact 7ES-3

My Compact 7's are coming. The larger models are more appropriate for where I'm now living, but I do plan to be able to sell my house at some point in the near future and move to a place with a more Compact 7 friendly layout. Diverse opinions on audiogon and elsewhere about Harbeth's in an audio system. Some favor REL subs, others stress a certain make of amplifier as a pairing made in heaven. Ultimately it's my ears that matter, and I very much liked what I heard from the Compact 7's. I've yet to hear them powered with my Jolida JD302, but I have faith they will sound quite good even in my far less than ideal listening space.

Your Compact 7es3s will be as good as your Jolida. Now the saga begins.

"Your Compact 7es3s will be as good as your Jolida. Now the saga begins."

Decipher please. Is it "the speakers only sound as good as what's connected to them" thinking, or affirmation that the Jolida is a worthy ally? Does "saga" quip suggest I've hopped the merry-go-round of buy and sell? I know you like the Compact 7's based on some of your previous posts. I heard some integrated tube amps that cost much more than my Jolida and IMO they were not any better to my ear. I'm sure there are synergies between component combination's that can't be quantified in uncontrolled listening tests - but that will not keep people from trying.

The merry-go -round ride has begun. Quieter backgrounds, more detail,deeper and wider soundstage, more precise imaging can be obtained through the Spendors.
Have the EL34 amp. There is also your source?

Byegolly, congratulations on the purchase. If you like what you hear, stick with your Jolida amp. I am pretty sure you would. However, if you still feel something is lacking, let us know specifically what is missing and what are the traits you are looking for. There is a very special amp that may give you that and take you off the merry-go-round.
