Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?

I strongly rec Elac or Epos bookshelf speakers but the need power esp

Elac

bottom line- a good recording makes the gear sing

Stirling Broadcast are far and away the best value going among that speaker class. They cost less than Harbeth but can play much louder without strain. Just a better built speaker all-around.

The old Epos Mi series is a great value also, though not quite as warm. 

And I lucked out big time! The resonance of the room and the speaker output is a great marriage . Also got a pair of EPOS Epic 2- unreal!

When I compared my departed Epic 2s to the C7ES3s, the former were the clear winners, even if only for the difference in dynamics.

I got a used pair of Vienna acoustics Haydn grands coming in. Will let you guys know how it sounds.

smodtactical,

Danny Richie from GR has an interesting evaluation of them on youtube.
