| Harbeth 40.1 vs spendor sp100r2 I own Harbeth HL Compact 7 and Spendor S8e. I love both with my Conrad Johnson MF2250A solid-state amp and my VTL 70/70 & Manley Retro 100 tube amps. Both Harbeth and Spendor are fantastically natural sounding speakers. To reproduce unampl... | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? Marked improvement! Tweeter break-in, cable changes, adjusting tweeter and bass settings on rear of speakers have made the Revels much more enjoyable! | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I have thought of Class D Bel Canto, Channel Island or other. I might add also that I have switched around IC and speaker cables that I have and there is an improvement. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? The speakers had a brand new, just installed titanium tweeter. They are sounding much better. I think alot of the dry harshness that I was hearing was the tweeter not being broken in. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I might add that my Kef 104.2 have Morel tweeters. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I did try them briefly with my Manley KT90 Retro 100 amps. I will try again. I thought less involving, less control than the CJ. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I might add that I just acquired these without listening first and at a good price. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? Thanks to all for the responses! I am using them with a Conrad Johnson MF2250A 120w/ch solid state amp, VTL TL2.5 tube preamp and predominantly BelCanto Dac1.1. A first for me, recently the circuit breaker tripped in the CJ on Reference Record... | |

| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 Room is 18X20X8hi. Tube pre & amps. | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Rhljazz, is your statement about my list of speakers not being tube friendly based solely on their efficiency ratings (sensitivity in db)? If so, 90-100 watts/channel is more than many tube amps & I thought sufficient. | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? Just today I listened to some very expensive systems comprising Linn, McIntosh, Vienna Acoustics, Wilson Benesch.I came home and really enjoyed my Harbeth Compact 7s (the first version, I think around 1995). I go to the shows and dealers but when ... | |

| Floorstanders for $3500 Driven by Manley tube KT90 monoblocks. Room is 18 X 20 X8 ft ceiling. Priority is NATURAL TONALITY & TIMBRE. Live, unamplified acoustic instruments & voice are my standard. Jazz, classical, folk, world & rock, I enjoy it all. |
