Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ?????
Airegin...good point made. However, my systems have chnaged as well but the pursuit of trying to re-create the artist's emotional performance has never changed. I agree that some of the music I listen to now is different from what I listened to 25... 
What I learned on Audiogon This Year
....believe YOUR ears and it is the room's fault 
Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ?????
...thank you for all of your responses. However, we are at a slippery slope in thinking that the best equipment for the 50% of the music I play needs to come from the era that this music was conceived. Does that mean I should have a Victrola for m... 
Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ?????

Allman Bros concert
With no disrepect to Horseface - The Allman Brothers Band has NOT been the same since Dickey Betts got fired ( okay since Duane and Berry passed on ) I have been following them since the early to mid seventies when my older brother was listening t... 
What do you currently own as loudspeakers?
......I'm afraid to answer ! .....although it appears that there has been a retreat !

Verity Audio Rienzi's - any thoughts?
How would top of the line Classe gear and an Esoteric front end match with Verity Auduo Speakers ( Rienzi's ) and all Purist Audio 20th Anniversary Cables ????

Airegin - what are saying as I am not in a position to read what Allan Shaw has said about the 40.1's.....please let us / me know 
ProAc or Harbeths?
Luna.....I am looking at the same exact speakers. I love it when the ProAc dealers bring out the negative aspects of the Harbeth's and the Harbeths dealers do the same with ProAc speakers. It is all the same rehortic. I really do not have the opor...
