Christian Diestl writes … A company based in Bexhill on Sea, in Sussex, England that took over the manufacture of Lumley branded loudspeakers after the demise of Reference International. LL was formed in 1998 by John Jeffries but sales were slow so he decided to concentrate on his other 2 businesses, namely a high end […]

Where I am, it’s difficult to audition these two flagship speakers side-by-side or at home, so opinions/impressions from anyone would be most welcome. Feedback on other forums is that the Harbeth may be marginally the “better” speaker, but I’m not convinced. Matching amps would likely be from MBL. Please click HERE to dip in and […]
Hi all, holidays are very “dangerous” from an audiophile point of view, because there is time to think more about your system and subsequent changes. So, in these holidays I started to think a way to make some evolution in my system, starting from speakers but not only, even if I’m satisfied for the […]
Hi Howard. I know you won’t represent Linn, even though you did. However … I am thinking of buying a used Linn LP12. There are loads on eBay and quite a few of hififorsale.com, but none of the Linn dealers I contacted have any for sale. What’s going on? Linn dealers in the main are […]
Just reading tinternet instead of working and the topic of this thread as just occurred to me . I set my turntable speed with a laser tachometer to two decimal places .However to set it you don’t play a record. I was happy until today. When somebody mentioned a rega running 5% fast wouldn’t matter […]
IT STARTS … Since there seems to be a growing amount of interest in the TT2, a suggestion was made (thank you Svend!) to bring as much info as possible into a single place for reference. I’ll trawl through AoS and post links here to all the threads that have run over the last few […]
“I recently sold off my full Naim system (DAC/282/250/Hicap/NAPSC) and I have been enjoying the simplicity of my temp solution of the Nait 1 with Harbeth P3ESR, fed by the Mac Mini and Meridian Explorer DAC. Simple, lively, detailed, agile.. and only one hifi box with one plug in the wall! I am now enjoying […]
These go for reasonable money compared with the similar looking A21 which was produced until a few years ago. Familiar with A21 sound but how does this more powerfull A/B class version compare. Dip in and out HERE
Hello. I am wondering if other people can relate to something I have experienced lately and perhaps help me better understand it. For about a year now, I have been restlessly moving from amp to amp (always somehow satisfied, never fully so) until I finally settled about three months ago on an ex-demo pair of […]
This is an issue that I have never understood – why do so many people put spikes under their hi-fi equpment or speakers? I have never gotten a good answer that is not filled with the typical audiophile mumbo-jumbo. One person once told me that they acted as a physical diode that prevented vibrations from […]
So I bought these on a local NZ auction site for $50NZD. Thought I’d give them a punt. I havent historically been a fan of Monitor Audio as I didnt really like the sound of a pair my dad once had. The cabinets had a few dings so I sanded them back and re-oiled them. […]
From our image vault and so is FYI only because ….. we don’t have this for sale.

Originating in 2014, the points made (well, some of them) are still relevant today, which I why I have included it here. Neil / editor I fell in love today with the Harbeth C7s. Unfortunately, my wife did not. She doesn’t like speakers on stands, she doesn’t like big speakers. But she did like […]
