@tommypenngotti, I believe the Tekton DI, based on what I have read, and I have read it all, would be an excellent choice. To be clear, I still have not heard them, but the descriptions by owners and reviewers has me to believe they are as satisfying as can be, especially at the price. In fact, although I never posted on the Tekton threads, I would finally like to listen to a pair, and believe me when I say, I am very happy with my current system. With a money back guarantee, all you would be out is the shipping cost back, if it came to that. I am tempted myself. Enjoy ! MrD.
Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ?
I have been on a mission lately to find the best speakers within my budget - under $5K ...I am definitely an audio freak and my sound engineer in LA told me we went to a HiFi convention of sorts in Newport and heard every high end boutique speaker there is and hands down the Harbeth 30.1 was the best...thought it was a live band as he turned the corner into room !
Local hiFi high end shops always push whatever they deal....guy near me recommends Paradigm Prestige 95s but the seem more for home theatre use...here's my profile:
I listen MOSTLY to LPs (stream on occasion with Audioengine B1)
Marantz PM-11S1 Mono Block Amp
Sony STR-V7 Amp
Technics SL-15
1 SVS SB1000 Sub (if necessary)
My listening room : is approximately 15 feet from Hifi to sitting position, wood floors , pitched ceiling about 10-15 feet in spots ...entire room approx 30 feet across . I consider it a VERY live, reflective space.
I am a drummer so I love fat , tight kick drum. Rock i.e.: Rush , Prince, old 70s / 80s fusion/Jazz
I listen to all different volume levels, sometimes low, sometimes I turn up music very loud and crappy speakers always seem to lose definition at high volume .
I currently have some NHTs 2.3 & Infinity IL60s for surround....
Is the Harbeth 30.1 too small of a speaker for my spot? what do you guys recommend! Thank You !
