| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following To Yogiboy and No_regrets,I know what you mean and I am very well aware of that a smaller and cheaper speaker model sometimes is better than a bigger one! It depends on the room and the electronics, among other things. In fact, each new speaker mo... | |
| What should I be auditioning? I would take a look at a used pair of Dynaudio Excite 32 (floorstander) or if you want new, the Dynaudio Excite 16 (bookshelf). Dynaudio make speakers that you can listen to all day long, very smooth, and the soundstage is HUGE. | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following To No_regrets,Sorry for not replying sooner. I've been busy listening to music. :-) Sesiously, of course I can give you some answers. You are asking if the instruments are reproduced like "toy instruments" with the small Harbeth P3ESR speakers. Wh... | |
| Tube Integrated Pairing For Harbeth Monitor 30.1 Audio Space make very good tube amps to relatively low cost. I would consider their models AS-8I or Reference 3.1 (KT88 a little cheaper than 300B version). It was Audio Space that made me a tube fan. Please let us know how it ends!I am personally... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following I am using a pair of P3ESR at the moment and they are great. Can't think of a better small speaker, fills the room perfectly, big sound, enough bass, punchy, with great balance and every record I play sound good, I don't know how it's possible, bu... | |
| Wheels under tube amps? Thanks a lot for the replies! This makes things easier. Even though I'm not very handy, it should be easy to put wheels on some hardwood and try it out. | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... Bob Dylan's new album Tempest is now released and it is really really good. His voice is of course limited and harsher, rougher etc than ever, but his singing is, to me, almost better than ever anyway. Just listen to the last track of the album, R... | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions And finally, they arrived, and they are wonderful! This very realistic sound is pretty amazing (a word I never use otherwise). No further questions at the moment. :-) | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions Thank you! I still havent received the amps, but they have reached a terminal in the city where I live. Have to wait until next week until I get them.They are equipped with 6CA7 output tubes and Brimar input tubes. I like these tubes very much, bu... | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions I just want to report that I listened to the Jadis JA30 amplifiers using the same preamp and speakers I have got at home. The room was of course different, the cd player and cables. I listened many hours with mostly my own records. And to say leas... | |
| Sonus faber Cremona M with Prima Luna DiaLogue One Personally, I would spend some extra money and time to make sure your amp really works with the Cremona M's. Meaning, if you can't do an in home audiotion, you should take your amp to the place that sells the speakers, often hifi stores have small... | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions No, I don't live in France. But there is a distributor in the city where I live and several hifi repair firms. I am still interested in specific things to look at when listening and checking the amps. Or is it simple, if I like the sound, it's a g... | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions I will listen to a pair of JA30's this weekend. Besides deciding if I like the sound or not with my kind of music, can you give me advice on what else to take notice of or be extra observant to? I guess there are many things that can go wrong with... | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions Thanks! Right now I am interested in either the Ja30's or a Defy 100. I woud prefer the mono's for the looks but 100 class ab watts might be much better in the end. And it should be a cheaper amplifier. I heard the integrated Da88 the other day, 2... | |
| Jadis JA-30 vs JA-50 need opinions Yes I know, I didn't give much info, but it was actually a bit on purpose. I know people will tell me I need more power for my 86db speakers to be able to play loud enough but I have never even been close to miss watts when trying different amps, ... |
