When I tried ARs in the early 70s I though that the tweeters has failed. I had been using ARs for years. I have gone through a lot of Brit speakers ever since then.You would not believe how many. Even Had a B&W P2H. Later a dealer for Harbeth and B&W. If you like the sound what difference does the age matter? Since I am 75 I try this line on women but it does not work. The Harbeth were based on BBC designs and I still listen often to the SP1s and have even compared them to my Duetta speakers. Still have the SP1s
Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends?
Hi everyone I am a little confused about the speaker market. I had been two dealers that sell totally different products. The one I had been to which I bought my forests from sells Totem And Monitor Audio and B&W. though I went to the other that sells Harbeth And audio note speakers which they recommended me buying. And the problem I have trouble understanding Is when I spend thousands on a speaker. Especially my next big purchase. That has no real new technology and is the size of my dads old conerwalls and never use to cost Thousands to build. With no technological advancements. to a product such as the totem that is small compact and modern for the wife approval , and to be more exact. The new Element line and technologically advanced like the torrent driver. Which I can get the same speaker as the same cost or less of the audio note and Harbeth and dose not need to take up the whole room or look like the 70's. Whats your opinion? Would you buy a product that is a 30 year old design that costs 5 times as more with the only diffinceses as upgraded silver wire and upgraded crossover components. To a thousand dollar woofer that is machined not stamped and has so much magnetic flux that it ca lift a car and no crossover?
