I would advise you to by all means to get the ARCs. The ARCs will outperform any other monitor, period. There is no "box" sound whatsoever, and the bass extension is quite remarkable given the size of the speaker. Think about Chord, Rowland or EAR amplification. I have extensive first hand experience with this speaker. Send me an email if you have any other questions about it, and I'm not a dealer (not to impugn Symphony Sound).
wilson benesch ARC vs. Harbeth compact 7ES? Advice
I am new to this board and looking for advice, as the local selection of equipment is quite limited. Wondering about WB ARCs vs. Harbeth compact 7ES. Clearly they look completely different. Without being able to hear them, myself, without taking the plunge o a long trip, anyone have any thoughts on the two, how they compare, etc? I am not in need of earth-shattering volume, but a pleasing system good at low and rarely moe than moderate volumes, mostly classical, acoustic guitar, and jazz, but sometimes Stevie Ray Vaughan or my own (bad) band.
Re: amplification, I am considering McCormack, Marsh, Metronome, Bryston, and MF among others, but this is an open book right now, and should be fun "reading." CD/phono source as yet undetermined. Going slowly...
Thanks for your input.
