And if you do go with the Vandersteens, the Pass Labs amps will probably hold you back from what they are truly capable of. I say that as a former owner of XA 60.8s, but I have not heard the 260.8s. A no global feedback amp is a better choice. I have the M5-HPAs which were a major improvement. Gone was upper midrange glare. Welcomed was a better sense of realism and immediacy.
Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT
Hi,
I am trying to decide whether to keep my Harbeth 40.2 or acquire the Vandersteen Quatro CT.
I listen to all kinds of music and the room is moderate size. I would be using pass labs 260.8 monoblocks on either speaker.
I really like the Harbeth but I always wanted to try a Vandersteen too. Alas neither room nor budget allows me to keep both...
Anyone hear both on similar equipment?
