| Bookshelf Recommendations yes, i listened to a well seasoned set of 600ms and wondered what they were smoking. FYI stereophile class C. completely disappointed. there are much better sounding speakers at and below this price point. made me lose respect for all the peo... | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations If you appreciate midrange transparency and detail with richness and emotion check out the Salk Bagby Continuum-comes very close to the legendary Harbeth P3ESR at less than half the cost. Much more natural sounding than the LS50s IMHO. http://ww... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? @Jnorris Absolutely not the case. All speakers have a natural roll-off frequency beginning at their F3 frequency. If it is a ported speaker the response drops steeply and makes a perfect acoustic crossover point. You just have to find that f... | |
| Looking for speakers with soundstage depth most good quality, relatively coherent speakers will give a very deep sound stage when properly positioned including distance from the wall behind them. I have heard everything from KEF LS50s to Harbeth M40.2 deliver an impressively deep soundsta... | |
| Tight bass sub recommendations I have extensively demo'ed the JL Audio D108 sealed sub and it is extremely tight and musical. The 8" driver is fast and agile with no bloat or boom. Covers the upper sub-bass quite well, better than larger diameter subwoofers. Depending on roo... | |
| Harbeth SHL 5 amplification It depends on your room size. Since I prefer tubes and have a medium / medium large room I use a higher powered tube integrated that uses KT120 tubes for a solid 100 WPC on my Harbeths and love the sound- plenty robust and dynamic. | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? @audiokinesis Adjusting the continuous phase control provides much more than a slight amount of timing adjustment and my ears were quite capable of hearing when I had the correct phase setting. With such a range of adjustment it is possible to rui... | |
| Harbelth HL5plus I have heard the SHL5+ many times at dealers and shows and they always have excellent bass- punchy and full of impact. Not extreme full range but satisfying nonetheless. It does depend on many things though including break-in. My Harbeth C7ES3 too... | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? JL Audio. All the adjustments you need to perfectly integrate, a flat response that covers the notes in music (not just one!) and powerful amplifiers that get the job done. | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? Subwoofers will not add clarity to a system. They will add impact in the form of notes you can feel as well as sound stage volume. The problem with them is that very few people know how to integrate them optimally- including the manufacturers!!!. ... | |
| OMG OMG OMG Harbeth M30.1 INCOMING!!!A Few Questions For Owners listening to my c73es3s with a rogue cronus magnum ii all amperex holland nos small signal tubes. glorious sound that has it all, detail, dynamics, impact, soundstage, etc. i had budgeted for some significant upgrades this year for speakers and... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... @mountainsong i have the C7es3 and love them but at times their warmth is too much of a good thing. are the 30.1 s more neutral and dynamic? less enclosure warmth ? thank you. | |
| Tekton Design Lore - Cronus Magnum II 1) The CMII is an excellent amp with lots of soul, especially if you start experimenting with different small signal tubes it can become extremely "soulful". 2) In many Tekton test reports they are much less sensitive than their spec. e.g. ~ 93d... | |
| subwoofer amp with crossover/phase control parts express sells a decent one - it's actually used in the "Storm" subwoofer array system. https://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-sa1000-subwoofer-amplifier-rack-mountable--300-811 | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... Subs definitely have their place and I am reluctantly becoming agreeable that two are needed - some room arrangements more than others. I disagree that "no system" is complete without a subwoofer. Some systems are so rich that adding a sub is just... |
