Audioquest vs. Others
I am particularly fond of the vodka series from audioquest... those cables must solve a lot of problems, beyond audio/video. 
Brave man, McGowan...
I was two fingers away from ordering an s300 along with the stellar pre-amp until Paul named audioquest as an example of a credible  manufacturer of good cables, because they actually listen to their products... Yeah right, I can see audioquest li... 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
I have had the same hard-mids impressions on top of over-blown bass and mid-bass...not much treble.I have had the same impressions first time I heard the Denton's 80th.I was impressed right out of the box with the stand-up bass tracks and the gene...

I questioned that too. This has to be a typo.  It is more likely 90db @ 2.87v/1m .  Compared to the other speakers I have, totem hawk and denton 80th, the Linton are clearly more efficient, and dynamic.

I have had them installed for about 3 weeks now (see pics in my system), and they have about 70 hours of low to moderate playtime.To me, they are all about low registers - very strong and dynamic from bass to lower-midrange; they retain the Denton... 
Used vs New vs Vintage vs Floorstanding vs Bookshelf vs ..... OMG!
Have you ever thought about getting a good pair of headphones?

"I really want to hear about them as well as the Lintons. "Same here.I have the Dentons 80th - wonder what you are getting with the 85th. the few reviewers I have read talked about more bass, but no one has actually really have given a good descri... 
Wharfedale Elysian?
With an AMT tweeter, they should sound much more airy, open, detailed... Wonder what the MSRP will be on those...I am itching to order the Linton... are you still impressed?  You say get 90% of the Harbeth signature sound, but are you getting 120%... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Kongas "Mother" from the album afrodesia.  Nice and relaxing, well played. 
Whats playing on your system today?
This morning on tidal, i found Kongas "Mother (instrumental version) and " Rocket in the pocket"...  I thought well played and well recorded.

It's rude to compare buchardt to Gamut, or other established high-end brands, or the ones I have built years ago without measuring equipment!Buchardts are sb acoustics kits developed and assembled in countries where the cost of living is far less ...

Nothing wrong using off the shelf drivers - i agree ! As long as they are really good, example vandersteen, totem, and so many more.  The ones used in buchardt are not seas or scanspeak, and the buchardt are priced as if they were. 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
It's been reported that buchardt are cheaply built, with low-end off-the-shelf drivers, and cabinet quality that do not reflect the price.  In other words over-hyped... 
Breif Review Of The Marantz PM8004 Integrated Amp
Fast-forward to 2019.... My pm8400 is now 8 years old.. Has been on 24/7, and sounds better and better as it continues to break-in. 
Worth the wait? Buchardt S400's
I suppose buchardt send bottles and a jar to youtube reviewers... They won’t sound bad that way!I have had the 2CE signature in my room 10 years ago, and i had them biwired with canare 4s11.. Sounded great i thought! And it's a convenient inexpens...
