Does an amp increase soundstage?
As long as the amplifier can deliver enough power to the speakers, and it can drive the speaker load presented, there’s really nothing to improve. Certainly nothing that will affect soundstage width.
Do speakers sound better off the floor?
The one good thing about putting speakers on the floor is their bass output will be boosted, relative to what a bookshelf, satellite, monitor, or Bluetooth speaker will deliver when placed on a table, shelf or floor stand.
Is it OK to stack turntable on top of receiver?
Rule number two is: You should avoid stacking your turntable on top of a receiver or stereo amplifier. That’s because blocking the airflow that the receiver/amplifier needs for ventilation can cause the unit to overheat or result in damage to its circuitry over time.
Is the Harbeth P3ESR any good?
All Harbeth including P3ESR are good, a matter of preference which one to pick. No experience with Spendor or other BBC speaker. bhazen and novak like this. I had a demo a while back that included the P3ESR, SHL5+ and the then-newly introduced Spendor Classic 2/3.
How does the Spendor classic 2/3 compare to the spendors?
By comparison the Spendor Classic 2/3 were a bit deeper and darker. At the time I thought a little too much so, though solo piano sounded stunning. On reflection I think that long term, perhaps the Spendors might have been best for me, but the M30.1s I ended up with are excellent too.
Are there any harbeths/spendors that have been demoed?
I’ve had several Harbeths and several Spendors, from the P3s (incl 40th) and SA1/D1 to the larger mid models from both companies, have demoed (but briefly) the Falcons, and now have the Stirling V3.
Is the Spendor SA1 equal to the Revel Salon 2?
Well, perhaps it should go without saying that the Spendor SA1 didn’t begin to equal the Revel Salon2 in capturing the music’s scale and dynamics. Nor did it have the resolving power of the bigger speaker, especially in the high treble.
