| A home for my cans If your looking for a good headphone/preamp combo the Manley 300B preamp might do the trick. | |
| Powered sub suggestions to mate /w Harbeth P3ESRs I am using a REL with my Harbeths and could not be happier. (unless I had two RELs) | |
| Hovland HP-100 phono vs Audio Research REF Phono 2 I believe the 12ax7 are going to be ECC83, the 12at7 are going to the ecc81 or 4024. Probably some other varients too.ecc88 are the 6922 family. | |
| Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated Wait for used Harbeth 7es-3, or smaller harbeths if your room is small. If your going new, try the new line (imagine series) from PSB, they are very good, and not much $$$. I have heard several and the Floorstander for 1200.00 with an NAD int. was... | |
| REL B3 and monitors vs full-range I went from Thiels CS7.2 full range speakers to Harbeth SHL5s & REL R505 sub. Been using this combo for almost a year now, and think I will be sticking with monitors/sub for quite awhile. | |
| Budget Speaker Recommendation? Check out the new Imagine line of PSB speakers. BIG sound out of small speakers. I was really impressed with the quality for such small $$$. | |
| bi-am vs better monoblock? You might want to look for a used parasound HCA 3500 amp. Its monoblocks in one case, with tons of power and very close in sound quality to the JC1s (JC1s had a more refined treble/upper midrange) But the HCA3500 had better bass/midbass responce. ... | |
| Thiel 2.4 with NAD integrateds I've heard them sound pretty good with the M3. Source was the Rega Saturn. | |
| Amp for Thiel CS6 Tried Pass, Ayre, and JC1s, all worked well but the Krell FPB was the keeper. | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1 I've got treatment up now, but its easily moved around. Plus my room is dedicated so i dont have to worry about placement becoming an issue. | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1 Markus, How big is your room? Do you (and any other 40.1 owners) think they would work in a 14 1/2 X 19 1/2 X 8 foot room? Also with the power I'm using now? manley Snapper 100 watt amps. | |
| Harbeth P3 stands....... Skylan or Sound Anchor I chose Sound Anchor. Not sure if they are better or not, but i think they look better and i know they are heavy and sturdy. | |
| Harbeth 7es3 with Simaudio i-1 If you dont mind tubes, the Manleys have been a great match with my harbeths. maybe a Stingray? | |
| Best Headphones & Amp---Opinions Please It depends on the Int. But I've found that most dedicated headphone amps outperform most jacks off preamps and int. amps. there are however some great headphone outs on some of the Carys and manleys and some vintage stuff. if i owned the HD800 i w... | |
