| Harbeth SHL 5 amplification It depends on your room size. Since I prefer tubes and have a medium / medium large room I use a higher powered tube integrated that uses KT120 tubes for a solid 100 WPC on my Harbeths and love the sound- plenty robust and dynamic. | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? @audiokinesis Adjusting the continuous phase control provides much more than a slight amount of timing adjustment and my ears were quite capable of hearing when I had the correct phase setting. With such a range of adjustment it is possible to rui... | |
| Harbelth HL5plus I have heard the SHL5+ many times at dealers and shows and they always have excellent bass- punchy and full of impact. Not extreme full range but satisfying nonetheless. It does depend on many things though including break-in. My Harbeth C7ES3 too... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? JL Audio. All the adjustments you need to perfectly integrate, a flat response that covers the notes in music (not just one!) and powerful amplifiers that get the job done. | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? Subwoofers will not add clarity to a system. They will add impact in the form of notes you can feel as well as sound stage volume. The problem with them is that very few people know how to integrate them optimally- including the manufacturers!!!. ... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? Listened to the R11s at two dealers last week and did some extensive quality time with them. Neither set was fully broken in and bass response was on the light side- which is fine for me.Sound stage was enormous and the most impressive thing thes... | |

| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... @mountainsong i have the C7es3 and love them but at times their warmth is too much of a good thing. are the 30.1 s more neutral and dynamic? less enclosure warmth ? thank you. | |
| Tekton Design Lore - Cronus Magnum II 1) The CMII is an excellent amp with lots of soul, especially if you start experimenting with different small signal tubes it can become extremely "soulful". 2) In many Tekton test reports they are much less sensitive than their spec. e.g. ~ 93d... | |
| subwoofer amp with crossover/phase control parts express sells a decent one - it's actually used in the "Storm" subwoofer array system. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sa1000-subwoofer-amplifier-rack-mountable--300-811 | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Subs definitely have their place and I am reluctantly becoming agreeable that two are needed - some room arrangements more than others. I disagree that "no system" is complete without a subwoofer. Some systems are so rich that adding a sub is just... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? As far as midrange is concerned my listening / ownership has formed the following opinions-KEF LS50. Midrange transparency OK, extended treble masquerading as midrange clarity.KEF former R-Series. Midrange recessed slightly vs. the LS50s.British... | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? can you please comment on midrange transparency, say compared to a british monitor for example? also, do you notice the metallic qualities in the treble that the prior r series had? thanks. | |
| New 2018 KEF R series...? @audiotroy Have the addressed the subtle metallic treble that was occasionally noticeable in the old R-series? | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Legacy and The Spendor towers sound incredible with tube amplification. No offense to the people recommending Tekton Encores - I bet they sound great but they look absolutely hideous and will never see the light of day in my listening room. Ther... |
