Speaker Asylum General speaker questions for audio and home theater. |
|
I auditioned these last week. Very nice in many regards. Amp was a Naim Nait XS and source was a Rega Saturn DAC fed with streaming "CD quality" files (meh)
The midrange was everything everyone said. Quite nice. However, there was a some "boxiness" to the sound, like the cabinets couldn't get out of the way.
Is this just the Harbeth sound? Didn't read about this in any reviews.
Kind of congested. Perhaps it was the source.
The amp and front end I want to use with them is different than above - vinyl source, great phono preamp, and amp is a Rogue Cronos Magnum with fancy tubes.
Worth taking home for a demo? Don't know if the dealer will let me yet.
Thanks for opinions. Anyone that runs Harbeth with tube integrateds?
Will the sound open up?
