| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers BTW, someone local is selling a Primaluna Prologue Premium integrated for $1500. Has anyone tried it with Harbeth? | |
| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers @roberjerman: Thanks for the advice. I actually owned a Peachtree Nova 125 for almost two years. It never really impressed me. It was a bit too sparkly on the top for my taste. Also had some quality issues. Finally replaced it with a Parasound. Th... | |
| Suggestions for Harbeth P3ESR speakers Sorry, forgot to add that it has to be an integrated due to space limitations. From what I've read, the Harbeths favor SS over tubes. | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! @wolf_garcia I tried everything you suggested in your previous post.I'm still not satisfied. Well, with the exception of selling my McLaren. What's wrong with me? | |
| KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!! @scarpino -- sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but did you make sure you have updated to the latest firmware? I had the same issue, albeit not quite as bad as yours, and getting the latest firmware solved it.Secondly, the KEFs are definitely finic... | |
| Full-Range to Monitors After going back and forth between floorstanders and monitors, I feel that monitors provide a certain level of intimacy that I prefer. It’s like having a beer in your best friend’s cozy family room vs. going to a posh restaurant for dinner. Of cou... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? My plan is to buy your $30k speakers when they have been rendered obsolete by Tekton. I figure a 95% markdown from the retail price is a fair bargain for obsolete junk. Before you throw away your obsolete speakers, please contact me. However, I wi... | |
| Golden ear Technology reference @stereo5 Then you must be laughing all the time. Because most people form their opinions by listening to audio equipment at dealer showrooms only. Very few of us have the luxury of auditioning at home, and that too a large floorstander. BTW, at ... | |
| Golden ear Technology reference I have listened to them on two different occasions. Once at a hifi audio shop, and then once at a home theatre type dealer setup. I walked away pretty unimpressed on both occasions. I didn't find them engaging at all. The bass is good but they jus... | |
| Speakers (and system) for a small-ish room So a quick update on the P3s...Initially, I was not much impressed with the little Harbeths. Since then I bought new stands (based on @yogiboy ’s recommendation) and filled them with play sand. The stands gave me the flexibility to place the speak... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" So such a phenomenon does exist. and all this time I blamed my wife. | |
| Naim and Elac Adante, Wow @crn3371 I briefly auditioned the passive LS50s (driven by Parasound A21), and while the imaging and soundstage were amazing, I also was missing the heft or body or whatever you want to call it. I returned the passives and bought the wireless ver... | |
| speakers with balls Are all speakers of a certain gender? Sorry, just having a hard time painting a mental picture of speakers with male organs. Are they usually open baffle type speakers, sealed or front ported? Pics would help greatly. Thanks. | |
| Speakers (and system) for a small-ish room Finally took the plunge and bought the Harbeth P3esr's along with the Naim Unitiqute today. Have been playing it for the last 2-3 hours. Right now, the stands are on order so they're sitting on a really small console which is not very sturdy. Only... | |
| Speakers (and system) for a small-ish room Alright, so the seller changed his mind again. I'm going to go pick them up on Saturday!! It's in cherry color for $1150. He is willing to throw in a Naim Unitiqute (v1) for an additional $600. Sounds very enticing!My only concern is if the Unitiq... |
