Hi Mac, Thx again... So your listening position is about similar to mine... Home auditioning would have to be on "internet sales = 14-30 days return right" - depending on the country where I buy. There's a shop in Germany that sells Harbeth HL Compact and HL-P3 NOS. He also has a pair of...

Thx - i've actually tested these for about a week before bumping into the Sonus Fabers. Liked the overall sound, although they were lacking some punch & dynamics for my ears.

Thx Mac, I've read about Harbeth as well, especially the SHL5+ have been praised as a 'man & wife' combo with the E-350... Unfortunately at this moment they are above my budget... Or maybe a smaller model to match my E-211? How sensitive are they to placement not too far from the back wall? Or...

Hi all, I just LOVE my combo of Accuphase E-350 and (heavily modified) Sonus Faber Grand Piano. After years and years of going back and forth with all kinds of eqpt, this turned out to be the magic combo for me. Couldn't be happier. The set is placed in my 8 x 4m party room/amateur home studio...

Yr remark leaves me curious. For me, it's not about names, brand, hype or £ - it's about the sound I get out. That's how I picked my Orbe configuration and where the guy who built it for me clearly put question marks on my cartridge choice at first, after listening to it he had to admit that the...

My point exactly. I listened to my own turntable - first hooked up to a Pink Faun phono/Pink Faun power amp, accompanied by speakers whose brand I've forgotten, but they were far out my league anyway (just as the Pink Faun combo). Now there was controlled bass, completely natural sound and it...

Thanks to everybody for all the valuable input (so far) :-) I am amazed though how people can start bashing eachother on such a subjective topic as choosing Hifi. A waste of valuable energy IMHO. Let's just be nice to eachother, what's wrong with the fact that person X favours a setup with...

R300 are within the budget, yeah - guess I got some more auditioning to do?

Thx . First I registered to the AVI forum but it would not let me open a new thread, that's how I got in here ;) Age is no problem for me. Good sound is good sound and the set was checked by renowned Dutch hifi specialists. My gut feeling says pre/2x mono plus a decent pair of speakers would...

My total budget would be around €1500.

The starting point for a new hifi setup is my turntable: a Michell Orbe SE with a SME 309 tonearm and ZYX RS-30-02H cartridge. When picking up the Orbe at the guy who built and adjusted it for me, the Orbe was hooked up to an AVI S2000 pre/2xmono power and I just fell in love... So I searched...
