Michael Vronski … I don’t claim to be a futurologist. However sometimes it’s possible to read some signs and occasionally for a view of which way the commercial wind is blowing. And I mean the way that wind is blowing, but not necessarily the speed and strength of that wind.My belief is that with the […]
Michael Vronsky asks editor Neil McCauley: Neil – is it jingoistic to believe that the English really are the natural leaders when it comes to sound quality? That would be a tough one because as an editor I can think of countries all over the world who give anyone a run for their money. I […]
I imagine there are a few people here who will remember celestions as being pretty common a couple of decades ago. It seems their popularity has waned throughout the years, though based on the quality of these examples I cannot think why. When you take into account the age of these speakers, it may […]
At the time of release they said: NEW! Quad S Series Quad celebrates its 79th year of audio innovation with an all-new loudspeaker range: the S Series, launching this spring and set to be unveiled exclusively at Sound & Vision – The Bristol Show. Incorporating a specially designed ribbon tweeter, the range consists of […]
Editor’s note: One of my first introductions into proper music reproduction in the home was via these – driven by Armstrong 600 series amplification at some show or another. It was one of those increasingly rare occasions (although I didn’t know this at the time!) that the hair literally rose on my neck. Only later […]
I have a pair of Linn Isobariks with outboard passive crossovers and wondered if they were worth anything more than scrap value now? They have new grills fitted and all seem to work ok. Have had a lot of opinions on this but wondered what the more experienced folk on here have to say on […]
One afternoon in the early 1980s I demonstrated a system to a distinguished, immaculately suited American who was a high-flyer. His employers had phoned me to tell me that on his behalf they would pay for his chosen system – and there was no budget limitation. His chauffer waited outside while I went through the […]
Their very rare SIGNATURE amplification system + SEXTET Mk2 speakers Mr Lothar Kissinger writes … Love at first sight! That’s why I bought the Heybrook Signature Series a little while ago. And because it is vintage British Hifi at its best! Plus speakers Heybrook Sextet MKII. But surprise, surprise, the superclever Internet = google, does […]

From our archives I was wondering if anyone knew why the USA importer for Harbeth speakers Fidelis AV has the 30.1 model priced so high? Pricing in Cherry finish. U.K. 2,529 Pounds or about $3,915 US Dollars E.U. 3,150 Euros or about $ 4,145 US Dollars Canada 5,000 Canadian Dollars or about $4,986 US dollars […]
Looking for advice to help a friend who is building a system around a pair of Harbeth Monitor 30.1’s. His room is medium/small (14 X 16 X 8)and his listening habits mostly chamber music, jazz and acoustic singer-songwriter with some occasional rock and big band. He wants an integrated tube amp under $3-4K. It will […]
I would like to update my trusty Quad ESL-63s, with which I use the REL Stadium III. Should I go for the replacement with the 2805, or the 2905s? My room is 4.20 x 6.60 metres, which I would think is just large enough for the 2905s. The back wall is triple glazed glass with […]
As the owner of the Harbeth M40.1, I’m seeking advice from owners of this fine speaker as to which amplifiers they have found to be the most synergistic in terms of overall grip on the bass. I find the bass hard to tame and wonder whether going from tube to SS might be a […]
The thread starts ….. Having dabbled in Harbeth and fallen in love with the Proac Response 2 Sig system (full details, see data on the left hand side), the past year has given me the opportunity of renewing my long-standing fascination with Spendor when I was fortunate enough to acquire a S/H pair of S3/5R’s. […]

An owner writes: After all these years, looking to move toward the Harbeth line for my listening room (appx 10 x 18). Given that I use my vintage tube (from era) and enjoy vinyl and some cd’s and listen to mostly classical, which would be the best move, the small P3–, 7E– or the M30.1. […]
Hi – I was looking to spend around £2,500 – £3,000 on a new stereo system comprising CD + AMP + Speakers and if possible I’d like it built around Harbeth speakers and I foresee me keeping the speakers longer than the other components. My friend has a set that are 25 years old and […]
