| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? Why look past Harbeth? I have a pair of M30.1's for sale now on audiogon that seem to be what you seem to be searching for. My speaker transition over the past 20 years goes something like this: 1. Quad ESL 63's (wonderful). Look up reviews;... | |
| Moving from Harbeth m30.1 to m30.2 XD Hi Larry. The 85db references the sensitivity of the speaker, not the maximum sound level. 85db is not very sensitive but my Pass INT 25 powers them just fine; for me at least. It's rated for 25 watts, but very conservative rating. Most solid ... | |
| Moving from Harbeth m30.1 to m30.2 XD ullogu1 thanks! That's the kind of feedback I'm looking for. I actually spent some time at a friends house recently listening to the SHL5+XD's. Very very nice - to me they are more of stereo speaker than a monitor. More like a bigger vers... | |
| Moving from Harbeth m30.1 to m30.2 XD Thanks for the replies so far. Interesting avanti1960 on the slightly less detail. That's not what I'm expecting but heck I appreciate your opinion! That's what I'm looking for. I'll be able to have my own opinions next week after I get the spe... | |
| Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think. Great choice! I AM computer savvy and went Innuos about a year ago. The operating system is rock solid and the interface is friendly. Fast! Search is easy. I was using a dedicated Windows 10 computer prior and moving to Innuos did certainly... | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? I’ll never buy anything from D'agostino. Below is a copy and paste from his facebook site, 06/04/2021. I don’t care about his politics, I do care about the way he would potentially treat a significant subset of his customers that might have a diff... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns It's all subjective. Enjoy what you have and envy is not worn well. One mans garbage is another mans gold. If I die tomorrow I will die a happy content man. Remember it is about the music not the trappings, at least in my world. You are righ... | |
| Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers. It's not just on audiogon. Scammers are prevalent everywhere these days. I'm from the IT industry and am surprised at how brazen they are becoming. Both from a technology perspective as well as social engineering. I do my due diligence and ... | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? I drive my M30.1’s with a Pass INT-25 integrated and supplement the 30.1’s with an SVS Micro 3000 sub. Having heard dozens, more probably hundreds of different systems over the past 30 years or so I’d be hard pressed to think of a combo I like mor... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music A quick update on my experience with SVS Micro 300 and Harbeth m30.1. A beautiful pairing. Like they’re made for each other. The sub simply fills in the bottom range of most music. The SVS phone app makes all the difference; I would not consider ... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I didn't do much research. I had been thinking about adding a sub for a while when I happened upon Herb Reichert Stereophile review of the SVS Micro 3000 w/ M30.2's. It just seemed to be a good match so I didn't look much further. I did conside... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music Quick update on my addition of an SVS Micro 3000 to my M30.1 system. I speak for myself in my living room with my equipment. LR is maybe 17 x 13 and I have the Harbeth's about 24" from the back wall, with the sub in between the speakers, closer... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music "I guess you’re not listening to Alan Walker at concert level..;)" Nah, I'm more of a Skrillex kinda guy. | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I just added an SVS Micro 3000 to my Harbeth M30.1 based system. Its certainly filling in space I knew I was missing. My listening area is the right side of a 27 x 13 room and is pretty well damped. I can see how setting up a sub could be a P... | |
| Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music? A couple of guys asked how its going with my SVS Micro 3000sub and Harbeth m30.1 setup/integration. First just a little context so you know my particular situation. I retired about 6 years ago and have moved 4 times since then. Always a 1 or 2 br... |
