I am a big Harbeth fan, but I had bad luck with the M30s. They just wouldn't work in my room. I'm not a bass addict by any means, but they sounded like they were missing everything from 80hz on down. Couldn't fix it. However, the HL5s worked great. Go figure. Just telling you this because you asked for opinions of actual owners. I really wanted to love them, but it didn't work out.
OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners
A rare & timely opportunity has made me the owner of a pair of M30.1's in Tiger Ebony finish with 1 frigging hour use!!!
I have Pangea 24" stands & with the tweeter at 12.5" up from the bottom of the cabinet that puts the tweeter at 36.5",within a half inch of center of my ears when in critical listening mode..Anyone see a problem using my stands?
I have about 3' out from back wall & same from side walls which are treated for reflections..Speakers can be up to 8' apart with listening position about 10'away..Suggestions on setup?
Regarding amplification since they haven't even started breaking in I'm going to run them with my 17wpc.EL84 amp & will start looking for something with at least 50wpc...What do you guys think of a Mcintosh MHA100 @ 50wpc. driving these?How about SimAudio Moon 240i @ 50wpc.or maybe a Hegel Rost at 75wpc.???
Thanks much,take care..
