Need help with two subs and external crossover....
I'm really not that sophisticated when it comes to measurements.  Intend to trust my ears.  I do use an Anti-mode 8033 
Need help with two subs and external crossover....
@grannyring. I have a HSU High End Cross-over unit approx one yr old which I no longer use.  After much experimenting with my HSU ULS 15 MK2s and Harbeth m30.2s I decided to do what it sounds like you want to do - run my Harbeths full-range (to 50... 
People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....
Harbeth m30.2 + dual HSU ULS 15 MK2 subs. 30.2s are not an incremental improvement to the 30.1. Far bigger soundstage, greater delineation of voices, tighter bass. Overall more forward sound. With subs it is a very different speaker than the 30.1 ...

Audible Illusions M3B question
I feel very fortunate with the service and turn-around I received from AI after reading these tales of woe.  I bought a refurbished L3A from a dealer who sent it directly to AI for a warranty check. But only after I expressed my concerns to the de...

The Harbeth phenomenon
@el34 Recognizing this an old thread, it is relevant to my current situation. Like you, I am a classically trained musician (singer) with decades of performing experience, and so find my Harbeth m30.1s both accurate and immensely satisfying.  I cu... 
Modwright Preamp Owners.

Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range
Lots of great input, thanks. Lots of familiar names and some unfamiliar products for me research.@hifiman5 and  @1marker: Joe at The Cable Company gives a strong recommendation to Backert Labs as well. Mentioned that he relied on Bob Backert for h... 
Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status
Michael recently modded MPCs for my Syn Res Element Tungsten SC and PC, a Telsa T2 SE PC and Tesla Accelerator LE IC and Accelerator LE IC. The sonic improvement was noticeable - and not subtle. Expanded sound stage, greater depth to the sound and...
