| Need more slam! Help! as a follow-up the rogue stereo 90 is a decently dynamic, powerful tube amp, as is the stereo 100. making the change to a 200 WPC power amp (for example) will not yield much more slam and you will lose the charm and refinement that comes from a t... | |
| Upgrade preamp? Rogue Audio RP-7. Transparent, dynamic and silky smooth even with the stock new production tubes. | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting @ghulamr-You can purchase Kimber 8PR cable in bulk, should come in at or near your budget. Go to "the cable co." For interconnects try VanDen Hul "The Name" ~ $79 for a meter at acoustic sounds. | |
| Power amp recommendation for Harbeth 30.2s I was not able to find specs on your amp but YBA appears to make good stuff- but there are differences among power amplifiers that make one better than the other at a given power rating.Also it would be good to know your budget. | |
| Need more slam! Help! @ditusa @sammyshapsThe earliest versions of the Rogue RP-1 had low gain and users were complaining about the anemic sound. Later versions were in fact updated to 7db of gain. Either way they do not sound dynamic or powerful. my linestage was t... | |
| Need more slam! Help! sammy, i have been in your situation with similar rogue audio amplification.there are a few things working against you at the moment.1, your vandersteen speakers have a flat, neutral response while most speakers do have a bass peak in the bass and... | |
| Proud Harbeth p3esr owner - need help tweaking/troubleshooting ghulamr,congrats on a quality system for your home office rig. there are many factors at play here but i believe you can work with what you have. 1. speaker position. they need to be positioned away from walls and glass by 2 feet minimum, 3 feet i... | |
| Speakers which always sound good Harbeth C7E3 | |
| What was your most fun and rewarding upgrade? I agree room treatment can be very helpful depending on room and speaker placement options but for me my speakers have plenty of room to back and side walls and i listen semi nearfield- acoustic panels and traps helped but not a big bang for the $... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus ...what speakers do you love ? possibly the best buy in all of audiophile land. i enjoyed my CMII immensely with Harbeth C7ES3 speakers. Tube upgraded to amperx 12AX7 and AU7, RCA 5914 12AU7 back row. I have "upgraded" everything but should have stopped with that system. | |
| Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7 My local dealer insists on using tube amplification with the Spendor D series. When I demoed my D7s at his house he was using a Jadis I50 50WPC class A tube integrated that had more balls than a 1000 watt subwoofer. Seriously, it drove them with... | |
| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? Using a Parasound a21+ driven by a Rogue Audio tube preamp. Sound is as good as I could ask for. Super smooth and refined. | |
| Subwoofers masking other frequencies. sounds like adding the third sub created the condition. as others have mentioned most likely too much energy in the room at frequencies shared by the main speaker. 1) first off- how do you have them connected? if two subs are connected to the sa... | |
| Automatic Room Correction has won the Subwoofer Wars not for me. it is a band aid at best and robs your subwoofer of power at worst.It is no substitute for optimized subwoofer placement (within reason). | |
| How much overhang is ok between a speaker base and the stand top plate? skylan stands are solid and stable and come with excellent iso bumpers for the top plate. you can also fill the columns (i used cat litter with excellent results). much preferred to the mass market metal stands.a couple inches of overhang of the s... |
