| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL Hi Drubin,Thank you for your response.What is it about the P3ESR that makes it your favorite of the other Harbeths you have owned? What makes the little one so magical...more so than the others?Do you have an opinion on how the P3ESR or any of the... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL Hello R_burke,For this room, I am planning on using a custom tube amp that utilizes a pair of German EL84's per channel, with a very robust power supply that will give me a very fast, dynamic, yet full bodied 15 watts in push/pull.Both Fritz and a... | |
