You need to be very careful that you don't lose what you like about the Harbeths.Īt this point, my suggestion, is to try a different Amp - maybe something from the likes of Pathos, Vincent, Mc Intosh, Croft, Unison Research, Luxman, Lavardin, Gato, Accuphase or Sugden. Of those you listed, I think the Spendors might be a little less forward than the Harbeths, which might be a little less forward than the Grahams (which could be very similar to the Rogers). If you are looking for a warm, smooth presentation, I would likely stick with the BBC type of speaker. Listened to various offerings from Spendor, Neat, PMC and finally settled on the SCM11s (old version, not the new curvy ones). Given that BBC designs do sound different - more "Old Fashioned", if you like - the first big decision is, do you want to move away from this presentation? If so, in what way? This may be determined by things like, the type of music you listen to, how exciting you like it to be, how natural you like it to be etc Thread starter Pedro2 Start date Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar. Once you go outside this design type, a whole world of speakers opens up.so why just Dynaudio? There are brands like Kef, Sonus Faber, Diapason, Opera, Audio Physic, ProAc, ATC, PMC etc If you like most of what the Harbeths do, but want a slight change of emphasis, this makes sense. Since you have spent a good bit of time with the A1s, tell us more about the tonality, layering, speakers disappearing completely, etc The Spendors are apparently masters of these audiophile attributes, has that been your. I’m considering the following speakers models: ATC SCM19 V2 Dynaudio Contour S1.4 ProAc Tablette 10 Signature Sonus Faber Sonetto II Currently I’m listening to a pair of Wharfedale Denton 80th Anniversarry, everything so musical and well done with this speakers, it sound sweet smooth engaging if powerd by a Class D Audio SDS-470C with upgraded power supply, it sound near to neutral with. While you were shortlisting BBC inspired alternatives, there was an understandable consistency in your thinking. A1s are looking pretty good for what is rhe cheapest Spendor money can buy. I tried going to the Entry series, but the sound is not as detailed nor is the speaker as transparent to source. If you are used to the 'pro' sound you may think that the Entry Series may lack something. Although they both carry the signature sound, they are quite different. The LS50 is a modern classic.Click to expand.Once again, I am not directly going to answer your question, but make a general comment. The ATC SCM40, SCM35, SCM19, SCM11, and SCM7 are meant for home use. Like many LS50 owners it took owning them twice to really get how special they are. However they can sound stunning with the best. Human Speakers Model 81 Human Speakers Model 61 (I think) Role Kayak Spendor A1 Spendor Classic 4/5. Not the most revealing.they will sound at least nice with nearly anything. ATC SCM11 ATC SCM19 Gershman Acoustics Studio 2 Harbeth P3ESR Harbeth P3ESR 40th Anniversary Harbeth P3ESR XD Stirling Broadcast LS3/5A. ATC speakers are far better than Harbeth at revealing everything connected to them. That said, the three you mentioned are all exceptional, and each would be on my short list. This speaker is very revealing and can be a bit bright. Perhaps also consider the corresponding (new or lightly used) Spendor, Harbeth, or Graham sets. I estimated the ATC's sensitivity as being a. Driver integration wasn’t as good as with Harbeth but I felt that the drivers themselves were top shelf. The SCM 11's voltage sensitivity is specified as a fairly low 85.0dB/2.83V/m this seemed a touch optimistic, as the ATC didn't seem to play any louder than the sample of the BBC LS3/5a that I routinely include when I'm set up to measure a bunch of loudspeakers. I never returned from a concert and listened to them and said oh yeah I recognize that. Unless you feed the C7 enough power the bass is always a little slow. The primary problem with the C7 is the box itself. The Compact 7 has a very similar naturalness to the P3. The only real problem I had with the P3 is that it always sounded small and it is. The natural sound of the acoustic instruments got him. If you’re looking for a top-class compact speaker to work in a smaller room or with compromised positioning, the Spendor Classic 4/5 are hard to beat. He though it was further away than the room next door so he wasn’t bothered by the lack of scale. He quickly informed me that he is a musician and has never been fooled like that before. He was dumbfounded when I told him that what he was hearing was my stereo. I’d better hurry and let you get back to practice”. He kept looking distracted.finally he said “your band is quite good. I had a man over to my house to buy records and I was playing a CD in my music room with the door closed. The Harbeth P3 was probably the most natural sounding.
