Topic: Harbeth speakers

[timber715]

thanks Jen,  i get a bigger  soundstage and deeper imaging with the accuphase/compact 7 compared to the leben/ p3esr combo.  And I have yet to try mixing the leben with the accuphase and switching the speakers.  what i want to try is the 40.1 monitor harbeths, though.  probably next year.

wow, been reading thru the Harbeth site, dang 40.1 is really the way to go. goodluck insomia hope you get them soon.
btw, can you tell us if the room you are using for the C7's are acoustically treated?

timber715,  the room's ceiling is covered by two layers of gypsum board covered by acoustic panels with a one layer of foam.  the acoustic panels for the walls are yet to be installed.  even though its only half way done, the harbeths have no problem coming out well.  Although it can be a bit "bassy" depending on the music being played, it has no problem playing vocals.  before the wreck room was done. i have been playing the harbeths in a normal untreated room and it just sounded great.  i think you can place it anywhere and it will sound as good as allan shaw  designed it.

Nice to hear that the Harbeths can sound good in an untreated room.  I think Alan Shaw showed a pic showing how he was voicing the Compact 7s. Small room, no room treatments, and the Harbeths were either on Ikea plant stands or simple wooden stands. . .

@timber, yun Monitor 40 ultimate talaga, pati price ultimate din...   Btw, did you get to reserve your pair from Ferdie?  Just PMed him and he said may waitlist na sa 1st shipment ng Harbeths. . .

yes Les (tama ba?) I did tell him I would reserve but I opted to hand him the dp when I reach Cebu, at least I don't have to do it thru the bank na. Get a chance to see his set up there at the same time.

insomia, thank you for the reply, I have been reading the room treatment in the harbeth forum and I'm happy that you can confirm its performance. I am starting to prep the room as well and would like to know early what I should look out for. I might have a different scenario since I will be driving them with tubes. ss seems to control them better though.

timber715,

i use a leben cs300 xs (valve) amp  to drive my p3esr and it sounds good as well.  the music is more subdued and the highs just rolls off.  i guess you can say it sounds more analogue than digital.  I use an audio analogue paganini as my cdp.

@insomnia, have you tried the leben with the compact 7?
