Harbeth 30.1 are outstanding !!!!

[Jerome W]

Doug!

Just amazing. I think there may be some little green machines in my future too

This is MUSIC!

Joe... Watch out !

As I said already, Jonathan Halpern says that Shindo is horrible with Harbeth. To each one their opinion.
I do love my CCQs with the Harbeths : I find the result truly magical BUT, the Harbeths were more difficult to set up with them than with my other amps. First I got too much bass. I also played with the gain of the amps. Less gain on the power amps and the volume knob on my preamp at 11 or 12 surprisingly sounded much better than 9 oclock on the preamp and more gain on the amps.
I found the perfect set up just a few days ago.

My opinion is that the standard CC's that Art Dudley used in his review might be more than enough and will demand less care in set up than the bigger CCQs but I really do not know since Alan Shaw himself says that the 40.1 starve for minimum 50W, with 100W being better...
The ideal would be to try. But I doubt that any Shindo dealer will let you try the amps at home. According to Jonathan, they won't even sell you any Shindo amp knowing that you own Harbeth speakers !
The only way is to come to my home buddy !

I guess Joe is s bit like me.
He needs to buy to try at home AND KNOW BY HIMSELF. Then he either keeps the gear in his collection for his sig in AS or he sells it !

Thanks Mike,

The 40.1 will be the same beautiful color. I am so excited. If the 30.1 are any indication, the 40.1 will be outstandingly superb.

Why did you buy the 30.1 and the 40.1 speakers?

 

[joeinid]

I guess because I could.

Also, the 30.1 are two way and the 40.1 are three way.

Joe
I knew you'd like them:heart: Just wait until you get the proper stands for them(Skylan or Sound Anchors). You'll forget all about selling them:audiophile::audiophile:


BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

 

[Paul]

That's our Joe!

When I was talk about the Harbeth....No one listened to me....and Now 2 years later this is happening.....so another 2 years ppl going to jump on Tannoy ~

Thank Doug, Thanks Bob,

I'm still learning (from you), and having fun. They really are wonderful but break in should open them up a little, not that I need it. they really surprise me on some songs that I've heard many times. Wow!

 

[joeinid]

Paul,

You are very lucky to have a room like that. I remember Serge was selling a pair of Tannoy a while ago. I wanted them in the worst way but could not make it happen. If I had the room, Tannoy would be the ones. Enjoy.

Congrats Joe. For advice give Walter Swanbon a call at Fidelis as is the US importer for Harbeth. He knows them better than anyone and will know what pairs up the best with them. Enjoy!

Joe...Thanks yes I'm lucky to have the West Royal in my room and I never look back.

If I remember correctly Serge was selling his Canterbury ....No.... Our Joe can't settle with second best. Once your basement is finished go with the West and You won't look for anymore speakers hehe

 

[dlb2]

Can't wait to hear how they sound once you hook up the twins and Mr. GAT! :exciting:

 

[socfan12]

Yes you are and I am happy for you.

Maybe, Paul. We'll see.

Update:

I just switched to the Naim Supernait 2 with the HiCap-dr and it gives the C2300/MC275 a run for the money. I don't want to admit it right now, but I think it might be better. Damn!

It's going to be tough call. Some songs are better with tubes, some are better all SS.

Might want to give the JOB a try, might be surprised at the results.

 

[joeinid]

I was talking about that with a friend. I think the Job will be awesome. The Harbeth may not be efficient but are easy to drive.
