| Desktop Harbeth p3esr Amp The P3's will sound good with most amps out there which include the iNova, although I am not familiar with this amp. Good to hear that you like the P3's. They are one of the most transparent and musical bookshelves that I've ever come across. | |
| PMC EB1i v. Thiel CS3.7 v. Pioneer S1-EX v. ??? Sashav, you have a good pair of ears and we probably share the same listening preference. I have listened to the Revel Salon2 couple of times last year. They were driven by Mark Levinson monoblocks and Wyred4Sound amps later through the year when ... | |
| PMC EB1i v. Thiel CS3.7 v. Pioneer S1-EX v. ??? Sashav, may I ask how do you compare the active PMCs with active ATCs in their respective classes? The passive IB2i sounded pretty incredible to me. I can't imagine how much more the active models(PMC or ATC) would bring to the table when compared... | |
| PMC EB1i v. Thiel CS3.7 v. Pioneer S1-EX v. ??? I feel it's a huge risk not being able to listen to the speakers first hand and bringing them home based on recommendations on the forum. Having said that, judging from your description the Thiel CS3.7 may be a better choice than the PMC EB1i. I h... | |
| Neat Ultimatum MFS vs Totem Mani 2 Dynamic Solutions don't seem to get much publicity here but the Master One looks pretty solid and well-built. The specs are quite impressive too going down to 21Hz. A near full-range speaker. Enjoy~ | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors Congratulations on the C2's. I would be interested to know how the C2's are doing being driven by the 840E/840W. Enjoy~ | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors With your front end equipment the Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento is a better choice. Should be a significant improvement over the Grand Piano Home which isn't exactly up to audiophile standards. It doesn't come as a surprise as the GM costs above $1... | |
| Suggestions please: upgrade from Dynaudio S1.4 I do not feel the need to defend the Harbeths although I own a pair myself. Goatwuss has a point when he mentioned the Harbeths do not rock like the Dynaudios. What they do is they rock differently than the Dynaudios, and they do it admirably well... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? So how is it? Extrema or Guarneri Homage. | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics 02-25-11: DrubinOf all the speakers I have owned, I feel that Harbeths were the least fussy when it came to amplifier pairing. (Another way of saying this: Harbeths are less transparent to the source than other speakers I have owned.) So perhaps t... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics To clarify, Alan Shaw believes(probably in an act of pretense) that all amplifiers sound the same and differences are non-existent between well designed amplifiers. He has explicitly mentioned in the user forum that a double blind test(unsighted) ... | |
| Harbeth 7es2 vs Harbeth 7es3 Personally I would pass on a speaker that has been modified, especially by third parties. Similarly like Chashas1, I would pick an original C7ES2 over a modified speaker. You wouldn't know the quality of workmanship of the modified speaker and the... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? I concur with Daveyf that a home trial is the best way forward, or at least try to listen to both speakers if possible. Both options are excellent and a lot of factors as mentioned earlier(associated equipment, room, listening preference) will com... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? Check out the link below. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1161958676&openfrom&1&4#1I have only briefly listened to the Extremas and these are rather huge and heavy bookshelves that can be tri-wired. The Extremas are v... | |
| Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts? Thanks for the response Ckoffend. It was much appreciated. Similarly I am not a fan of Sonus Fabers although I'ved owned the Grand Pianos for 3 years. I'm surprised I managed to hang on to it for such a long time though. A friend was also having p... |
