Willmax Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Nice setup. Is that an integrated tube amp? Which one out of curiosity? GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red MacKay Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I have a mate who has a pair of these speakers - they are the ducks guts when it comes to imaging! Great speakers. I think the amp is a Earle Weston Topaz. Just last Sat. for another good SNA buddy, I had two matched pairs of used GEC KT66 output tubes we tried instead of the EL34s. Man, the amp just opened up to something really special, batting way above it's weight in SQ. We also found that this amp is really picky on valve rectumfryers too. Those potato mashers are total rubbish. Edited November 27, 2017 by Red MacKay I can't spell/type. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huxmut Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Does the room come with the speakers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyev Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Very nice. My Topaz is ready for pick up next week and I reckon these would go quite nicely with it. Anybody driving down from Canberra to melbourne in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those potato mashers are total rubbish. Yep..Earles amps are something special. Tube changes do make a difference. Best i've heard from Earles creations when running full EML output and rectifier tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the Harbeths for nearly 7 years and have enjoyed every minute with them. Bargain price too, especially with the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnyfalcon Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Staggering cheap!!!! Even without the stands these are a proper steal. I have the SHL5+ in eucalyptus and I’ll never part with them. Paid double the asking price wanted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kensell21 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 This is a give away price. I bought my pair new. I’d still have them except I bought the Plus version. Not going anywhere. Well unless I buy the 40! [emoji4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRogers Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 There could be a worldwide shortage of Harbeth’s. The reaction is therefore understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol yeah you're not wrong there Pete I think I'll let them go it's a fair price I guess for someone that might not be able to afford them normally can't squeeze every last dollar all the time. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
