RE: To Each His Own

You are right in that the only person that needs to be satisfied is the owner.

However ...

That is a really good system even without caveats like that!! I think most everyone here would be happy with something long those lines! I know I would. The only thing at this point to experiment with *may* be sources. I mentioned a turntable in a previous post, and that system would be positively magical - and when digital reinvents itself down the road in a few years, a new DAC as digital is a treadmill.

In fact, I suspect once he lives with this system for awhile, he may find the Magnepans too limited in what his system does well to make what they do well "worth it."

One big benefit of Harbeths is that, unlike Magnepans, it is not too fussy about the amplifier that drives it. And the Harbeths do really well at a variety of volume levels - not so the Magnepans which really sound their best at a narrow range of volumes!
