Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
Tannoy's are beautiful. One could be happy just looking at them turned off. Would have to hear them in person, I probably have for all the audio shows I've attended. Buchardt's right? They're killing me, I want to grow them in size, and no, not t... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I have the Allnic T2000 30th Anniversary using the KT170's. I've written a review on this integrated stating that its sound signature was more like a class A solid state amplifier, than a tube amplifier. It is not at all euphonic to our ears. Wit... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
decooney, TMR's sales guy owns the Harbeth 40 and thought it would work well in my room with my amp. It is too big of a purchase to go by one opinion and AG is the place to go for actual experience and knowledge. I asked Allnic regarding the damp... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
veroguy. These speakers have definitely piqued my interest. I've always respected Terry London's reviews.  Tyler acoustics; I actually owed a pair, custom built by Tyler Acoustics. They were big and beautiful with custom outboard cross-overs that... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
What I meant by writing "size does not matter" is that I'm not concerned with how big a speaker is in my room, only that it plays well. And the consensus is that the 40.3 is simply too big for my room. I'm thinking of the Devore Fidelity Silverb... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I would have 14 days to return them. I would lose on shipping costs, that's it. Yes, I'm often losing my ass on audio purchases, even used, but I'm gaining experience and knowledge (like I know anything after 57 years in this hobby). My room was... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I haven't found our audio room to pose any problems at all. That being said, I would like to REW to see if there are any serious nasties going on. I've had 4 different pairs of speakers in that room. Usher Tower XL Spatial X3 Buchardt S400 MK ... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
Thanks for the great responses.  Allow me to expand on where I'm at with this purchase. For starters, the 40.3 XD is $13.6 used. Now it doesn't matter the price if they won't work in my room, with my electronics and the music we enjoy. Listening... 
Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them?
I'm a bit concerned that my 150wpc tube power may not be enough. On the other hand, the Allnic is not your typical tube amp.  I just don't want to get my passion for this integrated in the way of finding synergy with speakers.  I have no real ex... 
Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take
Why the Pro-ject RS2-T? Really good question actually. It's a journey, right? Started with vinyl (still there), then 8 track, cassette, then perfect sound forever (CD) and now digital.  I have a large CD library. These have been ripped to a NAS... 
Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take
Thanks guys, I am truly humbled.  My wife and son had a good laugh yesterday when I showed them my post. It might be a record for length on AG! For those who read the entire post, sorry for taking up half your day. When researching the Allnic T... 
Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take
Thank you kota1 Just noted that on AG format, this looks like and is, a very long post.  
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
I received the LTA power supply last week and fresh out of the box we found it profoundly different than the stock switcher. We did find the stock switching power supply very good. It has its strengths. The midrange became the focal point with vo... 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
I received my RS2 transport a few days ago. I'll give you my initial impressions (well, mine and my wife's). Out of the box, I was ready to send it back. Pretty disappointed really. At the same time, I didn't have a solid cable option nor did I h... 
Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
I should be receiving my RST2 in a couple of days. I ordered it sometime in October I believe.  I was hopeful to procure a Network Acoustics I2S cable as I already am enjoying their Muon USB that connects from my May KTE to a computer. I will pos...
