Electronics for Harbeth, Especially Monitor 40 series
Hi Paullb,Yes, that is one of the main reasons why they sound so good in the near field!   In nearly every room that I've heard them in, I much prefer to listen to them this way.Cheers!Vinnie

Hi Jason,Very cool!  Glad you tried it and are enjoying it!Vinnie 
Electronics for Harbeth, Especially Monitor 40 series
Hi Jason,I have them toed in so they cross at my head (not in front of it, notbehind it).  And as you'll see from my measurements above, the two speakersare separated farther apart than the distance from each speaker to ear.  I believe they cross ... 
Electronics for Harbeth, Especially Monitor 40 series
Well, my point was that they still sound very coherent even at 24 inches away.  By this I mean the sound still appears to come from one speaker and not 3 separate drivers.  And as I mention above, I have my 40.1s approx. 60" apart (tweeter to twee...

Paul,If you can, try this:I have my 40.1s approx. 60" apart (tweeter to tweeter) and about 43" from ear to tweeter.   You really need to get it measured down to the 0.5" or better.  Yes, this is "sweet spot" listening - so it sounds incredibly goo... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
Hi Sbayne,Yes - we are moving forward with this and have a post about it on our forum. I don't want to talk about it here in case it violates the rules (and if it doesn't violate the rules, I'll gladly answer any questions). Looking forward to it!... 
Speakers for RWA Signature 57
Hi Omoanya,The Lore does have more bottom than the Lore-S, and it also plays louder with lower power. I think the Lore is better suited for your music than the Lore-S, and is a HUGE value. I've read that it gets stupid-good with some crossover twe... 
Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space?
HI River251,Pdreher's recommendationof using the SHL5 + sub (Or M30.1 + sub) will do the trick. First, I'd try without using a sub to see if are satisfied with the bass response.Having said that, if you are not, I do wonder how much better it will... 
Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers
"The Pioneer speakers are so inexpensive, it would be interesting to get five or six pairs and stack them on their sides (on 12-18" speaker stands) to see how they'd work as a low cost line array. That should expand the dynamic range by about 18 d... 
Which Harbeth Speakers
I recommend the P3ESR's, or the 30.1s if the bass in your room is under control... 
Anyone hear or own Volti Audio Vittora speakers?
I heard them at CAF this past summer - I didn't have a lot to time because I had to get back to my exhibit room, but I thought the Vittora's sounded outstanding! They had it all - dynamics, delicacy, presence, depth...They were also built like fin... 
Has anyone heard of Volti Audio?
I made the time to leave our room quickly to check out the Volti room at CAF, too. The Vittoras were stunning - especially with the subs added in. I have no affiliation with them (I didn't get to talk with Greg because he was busy with customers),... 
Harbeth Owners which model?
Hi Bobheinatz,This is my take on how the 30.1's and SHL5's differ:The 30.1 is more clear and more extended sounding. It is more accurate sounding and "tighter."The SHL5 goes deeper and has more bass weight. Its top end is not quite as open and "ai... 
Harbeth Owners which model?
Hi Bob,I am very familiar with the 30.1s. For acoustic music and female vocals, they are enchanting! I'll be at the Newport Beach Show next week and we'll have the SHL5's in our room - so I'll have a few days to get very familiar with them and com...
