Harbeth Love and your experiences
I should also add that (obviously) above is my opinion. Everyone is different. No, Harbeth will not rock the house, no they are not party speakers. So, I guess there will be people who even hate Harbeths:) 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
No offense to people who spend big bucks on "ultra high-end" expensive speakers. Really, Harbeth is the only speaker you need. I have heard and owned many speakers. Some cheap, some expensive. I owned from Sonus Faber Extrema to Elac, Magnepan to ... 
What is most important part of a system?
Thanks for all the replies. Of course everything is important in the system. As I mentioned, every component including cables were all high-end. You cannot just expect a $10K turntable sound the best with $100 speakers. In my experience same speak... 
TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE?
Correction: It was the 105 not 120U.http://www.tetraspeakers.com/high_end_speakers_pages/105.aspx 
TETRA SPEAKERS ANYONE?
Replying to an old thread here.I think it was 2003 when I heard them. It was the 120U I think. Their smallest speaker. They were AMAZING. Even today I do not understand why Tetra speakers are not well known among audiophiles. I guess distribution ... 
What's going on with the audio market?
I think more people started to go buy cheaper but VERY good sounding stuff. For example, the new tiny Class D amps sound awesome. You would probably think "nah" when you read this but it is REALLY good. No, it does not sound as good as an $5K Clas... 
If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good?
I like vintage Nikko components. They’re dirt cheap and sound damn good. Also I like JBL 43xx series speakers for same matter.Do you have Nikko electronics and JBLs in your main system? If you have other brands (probably more expensive), are they ... 
If a gear is dirt cheap, do you think it is no good?
I guess I could not explain myself (obviously). I mean will you keep the cheap gear in your main system if you really like it or you want the expensive gear for little better sound? I would not ask this question on DIY Audio but I am curious to kn... 
Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice.
SiaHer music is not for most people including me (some great songs though) but her voice is incredible. 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
Among all the speakers I listened to, the only speakers that gave me accuracy and emotional connection are:HarbethSonus Faber (old models although the accuracy/detail was not top notch)Verity Audio (have not heard their new models)Also make sure y... 
Any experience with Verity Parsifal monitor ONLY?
@ Rx8man: I saw that one. I am not too familiar with all the details of this model so I may be wrong but I think this is NOT Ovation although it says it is. If you look at the rear tag carefully, it does not say Ovation anywhere, not even Encore. ... 
Any experience with Verity Parsifal monitor ONLY?
Am I wrong when I say Verity Audio does not get raved enough in general? @Bjesien Any luck trying them with the REL? 
Any experience with Verity Parsifal monitor ONLY?
Very informative answers. Thanks guy! I had been emailing Julien and he had been very responsive and informative until I asked him if they sell Parsifals as a monitor only. I don't know if he saw my email or not or do not want to promote the sale ... 
which should i purchase (tetra or sonus faber)
It is such a pity that most of us also have to consider the resale value when purchasing audio equipment. I rarely do not care if the price is right. It is very sad that Tetra cannot hold its value because they are not known by most. They are FANT... 
Triangle 30th Anniversary Comete loudspeakers.
The Comete 30th Anni. sound really good. I did not hear Triangle speakers before and I read on the forums them being bright but cannot say this for the Comete 30th. They are detailed yet not bright, the bass is tight and goes fairly deep. The spea...
