| from Harbeth 30.1 to SHL5+, an upgrade or lateral move? I moved from the C7ES3 to the SHL5+ and it was certainly an upgrade. I will never buy a pair of 40/1 as long as I live because they're too large for my room. I'm also running a REL B3 and a class A Accuphase so things aren't too shabby around here... | |
| Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]? I think you should listen to the Harbeth's because you can. A LOT of people talk about Harbeth's who have never heard them...ever. I agree that they might not suit your taste at this point in time. As you get older there's a chance your music pref... | |
| Buy Smart Japan Never heard of it but if you're trying to find a deal on Japanese hi-fi gear, there's no such thing. The way to find a deal is to buy a demo unit or used. I bought a demo Accuphase which saved me an unbelievable amount of money. Buy from a reputib... | |
| Integrated amp under 2000.00 used The Ayre is a very nice integrated when paired with the right speakers.I owned the Hegel H200 and although it wasn't as nice a build quality as the Ayre, it sounds just as nice to my ears yet less powerful. | |
| Resale value of new speakers I can't answer your question but it is a serious one, so i hope people who can answer it do it thoughtfully. Good luck and I hope the speakers were your biggest loss. | |
| Why are Harbeth speakers expensive while its drivers are not. I 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 my closest friends is the owner of a h... | |
| PMC Fact 3 with hegel h160 or accuphase 350 You wouldn't be asking this question had you heard the Accuphase. I would suggest making that happen. Hegel is nice gear but the Accuphase is in a totally different league. (I owned the H200 and now own Accuphase E600). | |
| Yami A-S1100 The power output capability for the Yamaha A-S1100 is 90 wpc, using a 20Hz to 20kHz test tone range with an 8 ohm load with a .07% THD. | |
| Need to upgrade Phono section of Rogue Cronos mag Have you called the guys at Rogue? They might be able to help you. They're great people and they answer the phone. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings I'm not sure why anyone thinks engineers will be able to tweak class D to sound as good as class A. I look forward to your reasoning behind this notion. | |
| Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia? I think dealing with Russia is no different than most other countries. There's always someone out there to scam you at any time. With money comes greed. I think the buyer has more to worry about than you. I'm not too familiar with PBN but know tha... | |
| WHAT'S UP WITH MARANTZ? 100% agree. I was going to get one to go with my champagne Accuphase. Looks like I'm looking for a used Accuphase now. Black gear is 20th century. I'm not sure what kind of information Marantz gathered to think the majority of the U.S. wants black... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Tears for Fears...The Hurting. I'm making up for lost time. I was too cool when this came out and I now realize I was sadly stupid to think that. One of the best bands ever. | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following My Resonant Woods stands are in and I'm picking them up tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait to hear the difference with the open bottom stands. I use Skylan stands with my C7's for years and now the only stands I've heard my new SHL5 Plus's on are al... | |
| Stand mount speakers for a very large room !! I agree with daveyf on the Harbeth suggestion. Especially if you can't audition them. |
