15 ohm speakers yea or nay?

I’ve listened to them in a showroom a several years ago. When I went up the line the compact 7s sounded better..

What did you think of the Q7s compared to all your other speaker history. I’ve read nummerous posts by you and you certainly have a great ear. Rebbe also used to post a lot. Any summary of your journey and what systems you miss? Synergy is so important !

 I have an Alan Eaton set 45. A Belles 22a with a 150 ref  2, a nait 2 , a quad 405;with an 303 and an Ampzilla 2. None have speaker assoc with them now. I had the omega 3xrs with the aalan Eaton. Lrs with the David belles. Now I’m using the Q7 with The Belles equipment. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you have fine gear with those Falcons so I really can’t suggest changing anything. I prefer 2 way standmount type speakers. It surprised me that I like the HL5. I haven’t had a 3 way speaker since Vandrsteens many moons ago. I really don't miss any of the speakers that I have owned but I must say that I had a Spendor 2 1/2 way floorstander that I should have kept. BTW, those Falcons are a bargain compared to the many other she box size speakers out there. Enjoy them!

Yogiboy, I’m glad the SHL5 Plus has lived up to your expectations. They are good speakers. I suspect the Quicksilver tube amp brought out the best in the Harbeth. I have used solid-state amps with the Harbeth all my life, about 12 years and the speakers sounded good but not exactly spectacular. Apart from the Quicksilver, the Harbeth also sounds great with Leben.

I’ve recently moved on from the Harbeth to Graham LS5/9. I find the Graham to have better clarity, detail and openness than the SHL5+. I am currently driving the Graham with a Luxman solid state.

Enjoy the Harbeth SHL5+.

Just a follow-up. I sold my Oppo sonica dac and substituted a  Geshelli j2 with the akm4499  and sparkos op amps. What an amazing change. I love the Falcons with the Belles equipment. I also  have a rogue Cronus magnums2 but haven’t tried it. I’m wondering what a Conrad Johnson integrated might sound like.
