| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Trelja,Thanks for the responses'. Never having opportunity to hear a Pentode amp I feared that might be how it would sound. Definitely not what I am looking for. Honestly I have heard a Eastern Electric 520 amp that does Pentode/UL. I did not like... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Ok lets try again...what are the sonic characteristics of the the different modes of operation?ThanksMike | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Atmasphere, I really appreciate someone with your knowledge and experience answering the thread. However, the sound characteristics of Ultra-linear you describe, I unfortunately have never heard. The sound always seems compressed and hard, smaller... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode I know what triode mode is, its a pentode or beam tetrode "strapped" in triode. There are a lot of amps that use pentodes or beam tetrodes that operate in different modes. I know what an amp "strapped in triode sounds like and Ultralinear, I have ... | |
| Devore vs Harbeth My situation is this, main system upstairs, Audio note SEP amp w/coincident peII's. Devore would work well there, if I wanted to change. 2nd system is HT system in basement with a big SS amp...Harbeth would work there. I had C7es3, liked them, but... | |
| Negative Feedback a deal killer? Thanks for the responses. My speakers are Coincident peII's w/ a flat 8ohms load and 92 db. Aljordan's comment about znfb used with easy to drive speakers is true, I believe at least in my experience. The Unison would be used on the same speakers.... | |
| Negative Feedback a deal killer? Magfan,Great question! I meant, but did not specify Global feedback.Thanks for the responses, cat fights aside:)Mike | |
| Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III I have owned Harbeth 7 es III and had Dyna's in my house for 3 wks, only listened to them for 2. To me, Harbeth= music and Dynaudio = Hifi. Its to each his own. I also agree, that to make Dyna's sound their best it is going to take time/financial ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs. Harbeth S-HL5 What are you using for an amp? Harbeth's need more power than the AZ. I have had Adagio and Harbeth compact7, can't comment on the hl5. I think the Adagio is a really great speaker especially with tubes, but may sound a little cold with SS..IMHO. ... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 I guess it's just typical of this "hobby" everyone has a different opinion, even on a topic this narrow. I have read countless threads and reviews, talked to 4 different dealers and everyone has a different opinion. Two of the 4 dealers thought th... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Chashas1,It says above, it was the most current model.ThanksMike | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Pubul57Just for point of reference I heard the Merlins with Dehavilland gear...they are just not my thing. Jim, I have talked to 3 dealers, basically getting different answers from each. If I had to tally up votes from dealers/ agoner's/reviewers,... | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Pubul57,I don't care for Merlin or anything on the bright side. MHO!!!Mike | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 My musical tastes lean toward "little girl w/guitar" music, some Dire Straits, but mostly female vocal. Once in awhile a Stevie Ray or even ac/dc finds it way into the cdp, but that's only for moments, not hrs. | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 Thankyou for the responses. Maybe I should have worded the question different. I would like to get the M30's because of their size and the soft dome tweeter. I should ask if that's a mistake vs the hl5. Some say that the hl5 is the sweet spot in t... |
