| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... Best speaker purchase I've done in 30 years was to try a pair of rebuilt Quads ESL 63's by Electrostatic Solutions.

| Are there any really good cd cleaners out there? I tried many products, all changed the sound. Some brighter some more bass, that is unreal when you think about it, how any added spray can change the sound.
