Re: Whats Next after Ref 3A de Capos?

Thanks. I had been thinking about Harbeth speakers. However, I had a chance to hear the Compact 7ES last Fall, when someone in town was selling a pair. Listened w/ a Belles SS amp, unknown CD player, cables. While it was "nice" sounding, I didn't hear the same sort of "magic" I've heard w/ Spendors. I also didn't find it quite as transparent or dynamic as my Ref 3As, and my goal is to improve on both those qualities. But, that may not have been a fair test. Could have been the amp, the stands, the source, the cabling, the set-up, the music or the room. Planned to take my amp and some CDs over to his house to listen again, but was swamped at work during that time, and the speakers sold before I could get back over there.
