| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @soix I've added some pics of the JA's from multiple angles. You can check out my virtual system. | |
| Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan I own Fritz Carrera BE's and did a comparison against a number of well-known speakers last year. More specifically, the Carreras made me sell my Harbeth 30.1 speakers which are almost twice the price. You can read about it here ... https://foru... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @prof Thanks for sharing the pic. These speakers are just gorgeous. Honestly, I feel pics don't do justice to them, they're even better in person. I do have a question while looking at the pic: It seems that one of the speakers is placed right aga... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? One advice I can give, based on a recent personal experience, is to not skimp on subwoofer quality -- buy the best you can afford. Case in point: I used to have a single T9/i sub and added a second T9i after a few months. It definitely made an imp... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ I realized that I had not updated my virtual system pics in a while. I accidentally deleted the virtual system and had to create a new one. I will write more about the sonic impressions for JA Perspective2's in a day or two. But as you can see the... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @ryder For me, it was hands down the Luxman 590AXII. It was more refined and the treble was just sublime. Hegel had more bass control, but I felt the bass on Luxman, while not as visceral, was more nuanced. It also added just the right hint of war... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? Two is better than one. One is better than none :) | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @tswisla While I agree that SHL5+ can benefit from high-powered amps, you'd be surprised how well they work with my Qualiton amp. Just for reference, I have tried the speakers with Luxman 590AXII (owned), Hegel H390 (extended home audition), Kinki... | |
| Best speakers for a small room I highly recommend Fritz Carrera BE standmount speakers. They are supremely balanced and sound much bigger than they are. The quality of material and fit and finish are superb. They have a crisp, modern, and balanced sound but they never sound har... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ Well I’m going to pick them up in about an hour or so. Will compare them to the SHL5+ in the next few days. Depending on how it goes, you might see either the SHL5+ or Perspective2’s for sale. Keeping my fingers crossed. Appreciate everyone who pi... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @avanti1960 If I remember correctly, do you (or did you) own JA Pulsars that replaced your SHL5+? I see exactly where you're coming from. I tried a lot of speakers, some more expensive, but there's something about the Harbeth sound that makes me g... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ ... get the Townshend podiums, they get rid of all the room problems so you won't have to waste time putting up all that crap around your room. Sorry I disagree. While I don't doubt that Townshend podiums are great for controlling vibrations, b... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+ @prof and @arthur1260 -- thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed and helpful replies. I truly appreciate it. The truth is that I'm quite happy with my SHL5+ and have come to appreciate the qualities that Harbeth brings to the table... | |
| Luxman vs Hegal I’ve heard this argument many times before that Luxman sounds soft overall and flabby in the bass department. I guess I must have heard something totally different, or perhaps people making such claims are relying on aural memories of the old Luxm... | |
| Luxman vs Hegal Luxman 590AXII is rated at 30 watts in class A and then it switches to A/B for over 90 watts. I used it with Sonus Faber Olympica II (which was 88db at 4 ohms) as well as Harbeth SHL5+ which are 86db. The amp had zero trouble driving both speakers... |
