| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @rauliruegasDear @prof 1 : IMHO there is a wide distance between sound lovers and MUSIC lovers and for the adjectives you used to explain sound characteristics in your last post for me you are not a MUSIC lover What rubbish. You don’t know me. The... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... Agree 100%...To a speaker that is capable of showing how an amp with special qualities can shine. IMHO, the Harbeth's easily qualify.Ok, enjoy “listening to your amps.” I’m off to listen to some new LPs. :) | |
| The invention of measurements and perception kosstI *think* I generally understand the point you are trying to make, but I think you are rightly being taken to task because you are making a bit of a mess of it, but making mostly assertions, not arguments, and with some sloppiness involved in... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I've continued to purchase many (obscure) vinyl albums from the glory days of analog recording and I am so often gobsmacked by the sound!It can be utterly glorious, in a unique way that I often don't get from my digital source. It exhibits the te... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Edgewear, that’s your diplomatic way of putting it, but there are clearly two distinct camps here; "sound lovers" and music lovers.I disagree.There’s no such clear distinction IMO.First, everyone is here due to some level of interest in or devotio... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... The Harbeth's are a good enough speaker to easily decipher the difference between entry level and a $2,000 integrated. If he suggests otherwise, he is selling the speaker short.This kind of comment reminds me: It's always a bit weird to me ho... | |
| Thiel Owners Prof, welcome to the final destination on the ride.Ha! I know myself too well to think I’ve settled on my last and only speaker. I’m polygamous with speakers. As I’ve said: my Thiels are so wonderful overall I really can’t imagine ever selling the... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I find Harbeth speakers, generally speaking, to be very well balanced. For me they do a nice job across a wide variety of music. Really big rich recordings sound rich, but not overly so. Thinner recordings still have some juice and still sound ... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I was also wondering which post inspired the rant, but I agree with jethro1964. I own and enjoy Harbeths, but I simply can’t understand why Mr. Shaw sidesteps the amplification thing. To say any well designed amp over 50 (or whatever) watts will g... | |
| Thiel Owners I did some listening at a friend's house.He recently moved from tube amps (AR) to a solid state Bryston amp.Vinyl set up. He has access to high end stuff so he currently has a $25,000 phono stage, $12,000 cartridge, and extremely revealing speake... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I can’t figure out who inspired jethro1964’s rant.Someone hasn’t had his morning coffee? ;-) | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? "When I was in the sales side we tried to resolve some of this by offering in home demo. With the condition that if the customer did not like it he would not get a refund but credit."Yikes, while I'm very empathetic in regards to the problems fa... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... jacksky,It's completely the opposite: The 3.7s are one of the easiest to place speakers I know of, their coax design with the special flat midrange (so so no coning around the tweeter allowing full dispersion) provides one of the widest sweet spo... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... @cd318I do find the SLH5+ to be quite neutral sounding to my ear. By that I mostly mean sounding smooth, without obvious frequency deviations, that kind of thing. I did find the smaller 30s, though seductive, to be just a bit too rolled off and... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I became infatuated with the idea of owning a Harbeth speaker for a while. I auditioned the 30s but ended up buying a pair of SuperHL5 plus as I felt they were a step up in every way - airiness, neutrality, bass depth and control, realism.Thought... |
