Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following
I am using a pair of P3ESR at the moment and they are great. Can't think of a better small speaker, fills the room perfectly, big sound, enough bass, punchy, with great balance and. . . | 79 |

Help with a system for a guy into electronic music
Coloneltushfinger, I have a room half the size of yours and the Dynaudio Focus 160 didn't work for electronic music as the bass was a bit slow, too big and swollen with any amp I . . . | 40 |

Speaker grills on or off?
I personally don't like to stare into a big black speaker covers, I like seeing the woofers and the beautiful wood veneer. Soundwise I don't hear much difference | 32 |

Does biamping w/ SS + tubes work?
My concern is that I maybe won't get as much "tube sound" overall if I only run tubes on the treble levels and SS on the bass. At least not when using small speakers . . . | 13 |

Harbeth Owners which model?
I haven't heard the other speakers but I own the 30.1. It is very far from being a "rock n roll" speaker, if you're into that kind of music, the bigger models are . . . | 11 |

Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber
I own Harbeth 30.1 and have previously owned Dynaudio Focus 160, should be not too far from C1. Dynaudio has a deeper and fuller sound, but on the other hand, it can be too much of. . . | 10 |

Sonus faber Cremona M with Prima Luna DiaLogue One

Mac MA2275 versus Jadis DA60
This is something I'd like to know too. I own the MA2275 and it is great, with a smooth and controlled bass and good separation. A joy to listen to and a very "complete" . . . | 8 |

I own the Audiolab 8200CD and I used to own Cambridge 740C and Cambridge 550C. Of the three, I prefer the Cambridge 740C. Always worked perfectly and very nice to look at, good . . . | 4 |

...changing the Tubes on the Jadis DA50 worth it ?
I have tried KT90, KT88, 6550 and 6CA7 on my Jadis JA30 mono amps (should be pretty similar to your amp) and honestly, there is not a huge difference between the tubes in my amp, . . . | 2 |
