| Which Harbeth Speakers I own the Luxman 505u and Harbeth 30.1 and the P3's. And I love listening to jazz and Blue Note especially. If you have any questions I'd gladly response! The 30.1 and P3's are very different from each other in my opinion. The smaller speaker is m... | |
| Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber I have now tried to add a 2x250 watt class D power amplifer to my tube pre amplifier, to see how the speakers, Harbeth 30.1, react. And as I thought, the bass becomes much more clear. Some midrange lushness and richness might get lost, but not tha... | |
| I need help with a Jadis amp I have Jadis JA30 power amps and I have had no trouble with pairing them with pre amps (Jadis and Accuphase). I am no expert but why would it blow because of what pre amp you use? | |
| Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber Drubin, sorry for late reply but here is what I think are the biggest differences between the Harbeth M30.1 and P3ESR. First, of course the bigger 30.1 model goes deeper and the sound is fuller and gives a more atmospheric sound in the room. I lik... | |
| Harbeth Owners which model? I haven't heard the other speakers but I own the 30.1. It is very far from being a "rock n roll" speaker, if you're into that kind of music, the bigger models are probably much better choises. However, if you mainly listens to acoustic music with ... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music For electronic music, I would also try another danish speaker brand: System Audio. The sound is just a rich and full as Dynaudio but much "quicker" in the bass. The new System Audio Mantra 50 floorstander is probably a very good choice. I have hea... | |
| Audiolab 8200CDQ or Cambridge Audio Azur 851C I own the Audiolab 8200CD and I used to own Cambridge 740C and Cambridge 550C. Of the three, I prefer the Cambridge 740C. Always worked perfectly and very nice to look at, good build quality and beautiful remote (yes, really). Once the tray got be... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music Coloneltushfinger, I have a room half the size of yours and the Dynaudio Focus 160 didn't work for electronic music as the bass was a bit slow, too big and swollen with any amp I tried. I have heard the speakers in bigger rooms and they were amazi... | |
| Speaker grills on or off? I personally don't like to stare into a big black speaker covers, I like seeing the woofers and the beautiful wood veneer. Soundwise I don't hear much difference. | |
| Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber Valinar, I use and have used three very different amps for the Harbeth 30.1's: Naim 5i was ok but not very exciting, it's now sold. Still own and use: Jadis 30 watt tube amp, it is great but not a very punchy sound. Accuphase P-300 vintage solid s... | |
| Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber I own Harbeth 30.1 and have previously owned Dynaudio Focus 160, should be not too far from C1. Dynaudio has a deeper and fuller sound, but on the other hand, it can be too much of it in a small or acoustically problematic room (like mine). The Ha... | |
| ...changing the Tubes on the Jadis DA50 worth it ? I have tried KT90, KT88, 6550 and 6CA7 on my Jadis JA30 mono amps (should be pretty similar to your amp) and honestly, there is not a huge difference between the tubes in my amp, even though they are said to be very different from each other. The ... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR - What electronics are you using? Currenly it looks a bit like this: Mainly I use Jadis tube pre and mono power amps, the models are JP15 an JA30 (30 watt, class A). I like them a lot! I also have a Naim Nait 5i (solid state, 50 watt) amp which is very good aswell, with better "sn... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following No_regrets, I didn't use the same stands for both speakers. For the 30.1's I used heavy stands, I think they are called Atacama SE24. For the small P3's I use a much lighter stand made of MDF wood, they are called Audio Pro Stand 620. The only rea... | |
| harbeth p3ers or dynaudio excite x12 Two very interesting choices! I have the Harbeth P3ESR at home and have owned a bigger Dynaudio model previously (Dynaudio Focus 160). The Focus 160 is a fantastic speaker, if you have a very powerful amp and quite a bit of space to let them breat... |
