    So for Harbeth (maybe Spendor speakers), the best amp is a Hegel ? Apparently no clipping, I have a rega Elex -r and tried an aethos, it was better but not even near £2500 better so should I try a Hegel ? Please anyone advise me 😊

    I made a decision 15 years ago to but Harbeth, no regrets.

    Good evening. Can you recommend three turntables with arm up to 7000€ or so?

    if you are exposed to live music and maybe create music or play various acoustic instruments, then i think you can "judge" a speaker

    Just received my first set of Harbeths, P3ESR SE's. Best midrange I've heard in 30 years as a professional recording engineer. His point about fatigue is no joke. I spent a decade trying to get my Dynaudios to sound like Harbeths, but they're just too hyped, no matter what you do they exaggerate the highs and lows. The Harbeths are just right, they sound correct. Everything in its place.

    So very true. How can you say a speaker sounds great, if you've never heard the beauty of a real orchestra.

    Ive only ever owned 1 pair of speakers which I love and still make me smile. I purchased these speakers in 1983/4 they are Rogers LS5. I'm drawn towards Harbeth as nothing last forever and I believe the ethos behind Harbeth fits my criteria

    This video was linked to a Harbeth enthusiast Facebook group, hence chiming in two years after its uploading. Alan Shaw is a marketing genius. But it also takes a special type of person to passionately tell the same story year after year after year. AS is that type of person. I was a Harbeth skeptic. How could an expensive, simple, thin-walled box sound good when we have been told that non-parallel speaker sides, rigidity and mass are critical starting points for any good sounding speakers? However, too many audiophiles whose opinions I respect love Harbeths so when a pair of 30.2 40th Anniversaries with TonTrager stands came up for sale on my favourite used gear website I decided to give them a try. Carefully paired with two subs (but running the Harbeths full range), I have a system that can play any music genre with great satisfaction. I actually love Alan Shaw’s philosophy towards audio and speaker design. I admire the way he thinks about the hobby and I admire his courage (yes, courage) in calling out an industry that has perverted what should be a relatively simple pastime to such a point that it preys on human neuroses. Bravo Alan Shaw. Bravo.

    It makes me incredibly uncomfortable watching this 'interview'. Alan is so painfully out of touch, socially inept and remarkably unaware of his surroundings. He needs to get out of that 15th century barn more often, be around actual people. Seeing him crowd his subject nearly off of the table, talking nearly nonstop ...at her... not realizing her relative state of discomfort. He does know a lot about the sound of the human voice ...his own... Working alone and being too thin skinned to welcome or invite input from a team of skill speaker builders, he clearly does not respect the views of others.

    It's hilarious to watch her reactions when he goes on a tangent about vacuum forming plastic to make speaker cones when all she wanted was a light casual conversation about how he works.

    из интервью я понял , чтобы не уставать от прослушивания музыки ---- колонки должны стоить не меньше 5 шт💲, или может просто перестать слушать больше чем 2 часа в день и на громкости, которая бы помогала соседям чувствовать себя дома, а не на концерте.

    "They cannot all be the best" so true. Yet they all believe they are the best and fabricate myths to feed consumers with crap in order to justify extortionate prices for their gear.

    Very intelligent guy. But I would prefer a speaker designer that focuses on instruments that are really hard replicate: piano, drums, bass. Gershman acoustics does that. The human ear is also extremely sensitive in one area: TIMING. And that is extremely important for music. Rhythmic cohesion and IMMEDIACY are the most important ingredients for Hi-Fi. It’s 2020. Stop making passive speakers. Go active with analog crossover (NO DSP!). A Passive speaker is like a truck with a belt drive...
