QUOTE(RobA4 @ Apr 7 2021, 08:19 AM) Used to attend those HiFi shows. Seen some very expensive stuff. But for vocal easy listening, the most memorable I heard was a Harbeth in a simple setup by an older man who have this "couldn't-care-attitude". It sure is not sexy looking but the sound is really something to remember. |

The older Harbeth surely sound something special which might not impress but slowly creeping in your mind, like it or not is another matter. Not sure on newer Harbeth from "plus" onward.. some commented it is more transparent or some said bright. The is also comment on DX sound duller...Very subjective indeed.
Due to my hall size, I am listen with full tuning in and grill on. This is the best position I get good bass augment and spacious sound stage with good snap on vocal image. Bare wire direct in to the speaker pot with great result. |

With all the modern speakers now, do the old (or new) Harbeths still compete especially since they are so expensive whether old or new.Due to my hall size, I am listen with full tuning in and grill on.

Does the LS50 sound better since it's supposedly inspired by the original BBC monitors? |

This is very subjective have to ask oneself. There is no correct answer. As the old say follow your heart.Does the LS50 sound better since it's supposedly inspired by the original BBC monitors?

Hi all, time sure flies.
So I suddenly had the urge to upgrade from my C7s, then I saw the price for the latest SHL5. Wow!!! Is it worth it??? |
