| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS Celo, it is true that I no longer have the SHL5. I upgraded to the SHL5 Plus last year. Leben CS600 sounds more open than most solid-state amps. I have only heard it with the 40.1. I guess you need to try few amps to find out how the SHL5 will res... | |
| Amp choice for Harbeth (SHL5) The best advice is to try some of the recommended amps to see which one will suit the SHL5s best in your system, to your ears. I can understand your remark of not wanting the SHL5s to sound any warmer as they do have a thick and warm sound. The SH... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs SHL5 PLUS Hi Celo, The C7ES3 and SHL5s are my favourite speakers in the Harbeth line and I could live with either one. You are right, the SHL5 Plus has a bit of the "hi-fi" sound as it’s currently the most lean sounding Harbeth, followed by the warmer C7ES3... | |
| Harbeth SLH5 plus. Top or bottom binding post? Yashu, I am on the stock jumpers that came with the speakers too and didn’t think about replacing them as well. I briefly compared the stock jumpers to some bare speaker cables and the difference is quite minute. I am using Chord Epic Twin with th... | |
| Harbeth SLH5 plus. Top or bottom binding post? Yes, there are no hard and fast rules on how you want to connect the cables to the bi-wirable binding posts. The best configuration is the one that sounds best to your ears and preference. Yashu, may I ask what speaker cables are you using with th... | |
| Harbeth SLH5 plus. Top or bottom binding post? Chord recommends a diagonal connection which worked out great:-As a general rule, the treble connections are usually reckoned to produce better sound quality than the bass connections. However, in many cases, we find that a diagonal connection ... | |
| Proac Tablette 10 and Response DB3 Any information on the Tablette 10 Signature? | |
| Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question It’s more like a slam dunk difference rather than upgrade to me. Best if you can listen to the M30.1 before taking the plunge as it sounds quite different from the C7ES3. Although the M30.1 is technically a superior speaker, I prefer the presentat... | |
| Big Krells Have Vanished From The Used Market Big watts are unreliable due to heat. A friend used to own the larger FPBs and the amps showed leakage with the capacitors or some other components. The cost of maintenance may be high. Personally, I would not go higher than 200W for Class AB soli... | |
| Proac Tablette 10 and Response DB3 Hi Stewart, Do you mean there will be a new Tablette 10 Signature this coming summer? What will be the technical differences and expected improvements (sound quality) between the Tablette 10 and 10 Signature? | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? keithr896 posts11-15-2016 6:58amThanks for the update - I’m very much considering Jadis’ I-50 integrated amp for fun.Keith, did you manage to try the Jadis I-50? I am entertaining the possibility of getting this amp though it is not for fun but m... | |
| from Harbeth 30.1 to SHL5+, an upgrade or lateral move? The SHL5 Plus does not sound soft and woolly as the SHL5. The bass of the SHL5+ is fuller, deeper, tighter and punchier than the M30.1. The largest difference or transformation between the SHL5 and SHL5+ is in the bass department apart from bette... | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. donjr1,246 posts02-23-2017 11:33amI bought a brand new pair of SHL 5 Plus's this year and my purchase wasn't out of desperation or anything. I don't feel as though I got ripped off any more so than I would feel with any other speaker. One of ... | |
| Bi-wires links for speakers ? Good to know the Tellurium Ultra Black bi-wire links have brought a massive improvement to the system. It sounds like you have changed to a new speakers rather than just swapping out the bi-wire links. Perhaps try switching back to the stock li... | |
