| Harbeth p3esr SE Exactly - the backplate says “Studio Grade Ultra Pure OFC Cable”... | |
| Harbeth p3esr SE I bought a Special Edition pair in the US in 2010 - it was my understanding that the US distributor requested the internal wiring upgrade and Alan Shaw obliged. No sonic difference... | |
| Closed back headphones I haven’t heard them, but I was also thinking Aeons could be good. I was thinking of a pair of LCD-2’s, but I just don’t want another open headphone, for the exact same reason - so I’m considering the Aeons... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The biggest problem I have with audio claims, is how the comparisons are made. I’ve learned that if there are differences, I want to hear them from someone who is making instantaneous A/B comparisons. It’s the only way our little brains can keep... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following I always enjoy a little Bubble ’n Squeak with my Harbeths... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Before I got a pair of Harbeths, I went through an anti-cone ’n dome phase. I thought a box with drivers was old technology - which it is - but thought more recent technologies would always be better. With an open mind I’ve come full circle and ... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-10-15: InnaI don't remember where but once I read that someone was comparing the sound of 100 wt Gryphon with 600 wt Krell, both transistor amps. Same speakers,forgot what that was. Besides sounding a lot better in every respect, Gryphon also s... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? Ohm speakers are great - but I switched from MicroWalsh Talls to a pair of P3 ESRÂs... | |
| Hegel H80 vs H160 If you do get to demo an H160 at home, you really have to level match very closely with a volt meter. The louder one will always sound better - and this can happen with less than a dB difference between components. I remember seeing the H160 revie... | |
| Hegel H80 vs H160 Ill add that differences in amplifiers have to be made in the same system. Other variables Ive learned first hand - the amps have to be level matched, and switch overs from amp to amp have to me instantaneous! Our auditory memory is extremely sh... | |
| My new Harbeth P3s. Wow Congrats - P3’s are amazing little speakers... | |
| Near field speaker recommendations? Your list of criteria perfectly describes Harbeth P3s. They are great monitors - I use a pair with an old, 100 wpc SimAudio Moon i-3. Your amp and SACD are great components. Change out the speakers before spending money on a new SACD - the Harbet... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Focal 807W Stick with the NAD - thats a great amp. | |
| Advice from apartment dwellers Definitely your buildings construction will dictate. Im in a co-op built in 1960 and the sound isolation is terrible (as is every other NYC post war building Ive been in). They were throwing these buildings up as fast as possible and after a co... | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? IÂm a monitor fan - IMO many listeners move from monitors to floor standers Âprematurely". In other words, the allure of losing stands and getting more bass replaces a better, more balanced sound of a monitor, for the same price...ThatÂs my opi... |
