Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr?
Oh, boy. The rule is 150 hours minimum, on everything. After 60 hours... they are at the bottom of their performance. Patience. Give them a chance. https://www.monoandstereo.com/2017/08/lessloss-c-marc-cables-review.html You’ll find a burn in curve, a curve that can be applied to anything. Time can be different but min. 150 hours required. Can streach to 400 or 700-800 even in some cases, for some equipment. 60 hours....It’s a joke. I thought you are better educated. It’s a fu.. n joke. |
The LS-50s are indeed the warmer speaker, especially if their tweeters are below ear height with little or zero toe-in. Their tweeters also have less metallic signature than the Harbeth aluminum IME. IDK that I'd consider the P3s bright once broke-in, but they do have a "cool" midrange tone that I hear in every Harbeth. Many consider this tone the ultimate in neutrality, my ears find it a bit cold. They'll never produce as much bass as a pair of run-in LS50s. |
I have not had the pleasure to hear the P3's. I currently have a pair of Graham Chartwell LS3/5's,and before that,a pair of Spendor S3/5's. So I guess I've heard some speakers in the same ballpark. That being said,after 60 hours,they probably haven't completely settled in yet. However,if you don't care for the sound,you don't care for the sound. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not agreeing with everyone else's ears. They are your ears. I sometimes can't understand why if some people love something,either you love it too,or you are doing something wrong. Bad set up,wrong amp,bad room. Why can't someone just not care for a product because it just doesn't sound good to them? |
