they had room treatment bro na about 2"x2" lang na would change the sq like day and night... pero dapat nga malaki budget mo

as it can cost more than the Harbeth I'm getting (a piece pa yun ha)... kaya nga dapat iba naging hobby ko eh

The spikes are a must. It will only be installed at each foot of the speaker stand so no worries about the speakers' veneer. The spikes will prevent unwanted vibration from traveling from the floor to the stands then to the speakers. Also the spikes will also help drain out unwanted vibrations generated by the speakers and the stands.

Thanks Joey, this is still a long way to go ... it will have stretchers on all sides to keep everything secured and in place. as for the spikes, I plan to use metal balls or ball bearings since I don't want the speaker's veneer to be damaged... I have not yet decided if it should have spikes to contact the floor though...

Congrats...now you have listened to a reference set-up. Which do you like from the 2 set-ups?

By the looks of the drivers, and based on Ferdie, it's a Super HL5. All yours for the princely sum of 250,000 pesososes...

JoeyGS · « **Reply #161 on:** Jan 04, 2011 at 08:01 AM »

Yes it's only the Super HL5 and not the monitor 40. More than enough na yung Super HL5 for Ferdie's room.

I can't tell much difference since my mind can't remember which sounds better when I listen to the other, magkalayo kasi and I guess sanay yung tenga ko sa tunog ng powertools

but in all honesty, I love both but I like the one that will be in my home best

sana matuloy yung pangarap ko na magka-Harbeth someday.... sana

sayang Shrek, maybe when I come back on Feb we can have a session together... I should be back Feb 10 lets hook up...
cheers

JoeyGS · « **Reply #163 on:** Jan 04, 2011 at 01:00 PM »

I guess the speaker size must match the room size so that the speakers will perform at its best and optimsed for performance.

Harbeth are nice sounding speakers, excellent midrange (for vocals and acoustic music) but very hard to drive. You need at least a 25watter amp to drive these beauties.....

yes they are very nice, but I believe that the new compact 7 (ES-3) are redesigned to be much easier than the previous models, 25 watts from an ss amp isn't so much come to think of it...

yours is 30 watts monoblock isnt it?

insomnia · « **Reply #177 on:** Jan 11, 2011 at 07:31 PM »

I use a 15 watt integrated amp and it drives my harbeths beautifully. Although the amp drives my p3esr, it should not have any problem driving the compacts since the 7s has a higher sensitivity than the p3s. And reading through the harbeth forum, you will get the idea that its one of the easiest speaker to drive.

Good for vocals and acoustics. But if you want to go rock and r&b you should try powerful solid state and use us made cables. just me

US made cables? Can you specify which?
