@@AudioNostalgia ah yes DIY routes, I shouldve known, from a brief look at this video I can tell that's probably the best for 8c, idk If i can go that route though, kudos btw.

@@donnywidodo8874 thanks. Yes, DIY it’s great but requires a lot of time if you decide to build something complex. I guess you already have 8cs and looking for some stands for them?

@@AudioNostalgia yes, it's on the way. i tempted to buy their stand but i dont like their implementation of the spikes. please someone tell them!! lol

Having multiple speakers to play with is definitely enjoyable if you are this way inclined. Never heard the Heresy IV so I cannot comment on these.

I also have a pair of 662.

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

Taste is a subjective matter...

Not sure if I'd agree with your statement. If an amplifier is too bright, than it is either a poor design or it was designed purposely to colour the sound in a certain way. To my, job of an amplifier is to amplify the signal - nothing more or nothing less. As a matter of fact, in a properly designed blind test with modern well designed transistor amplifiers, it next to impossible to tell them apart.

@@AudioNostalgia all amplifiers has a voicing otherwise all would sound the same . Yamaha are true to source and you and me know bad recording sound bad harsh compressed and shrill specially with revealing speakers.

Hey! Very different sounding speakers. I personally replaced my Yamaha NS-1000M with Harbeth M30.1 because I like their sound more. I then replaced M30.1 with M40.1 as I liked their sound even more. So although I've not compared the NS1000 with M40.1 side by side, I'm pretty sure I'd be leaning towards the M40.1 in my room. You can read my reviews of all 3 speakers here if you are interested: audionostalgia.co.uk/yamaha-ns-1000-m-review/ audionostalgia.co.uk/harbeth-m30-1-review/ audionostalgia.co.uk/harbeth-m40-1-review/ All the best, Shem

Thank you for you kind words. I must have spent about 80h doing the review of 8cs, taking and editing photos, etc. so you words are very much appreciated! Yes, and I've noticed a correlation where the less people know about acoustics and loudspeaker design the more they are willing to give advice about it! :) All the best, Shem

I would not rely on UA-cam videos to draw any conclusions bout the sound. There is no substitute for trying them yourself in your own environment.

My subjective reviews of both are available here: audionostalgia.co.uk/kef-ls50-wireless-ii-review/ audionostalgia.co.uk/kef-ls60-wireless-review/

Thanks. Not sure about open baffle. These are nice speakers from 'nostalgia' point of view, but sound-wise, not necessarily.

Thanks. Just bear in mind that you can draw very little conclusion from the UA-cam videos, especially when we're taking about sound quality.

I've made them.

I've made them.

Ohh Peter, why is it that people with little knowledge are always the first ones to give others advice? I guess you are not familiar with Dunning-Kruger effect. What objective evidence is supporting the statements that you are making - or are you just quoting Magnepan marketing materials? The claims you make, sound like the folklore that you see people repeating in forums rather than objective truths. There is a body of academic research from the last 40 years focused around loudspeakers, acoustics, and psychoacoustics. We do have a decent objective understanding of what loudspeaker parameters are responsible for our perception of realistic sound. Are you familiar with any of the work by Martin Colloms, Alton Everest, Sean Olive, or Floyd Toole? And regarding the comment about the left wall treatment - what made you say that? You are clearly a big fan of Magnepan speakers, so you should be familiar with the radiation pattern of dipole speakers. Magnepas (being dipole speakers) project very little sound to the sides and most of their sound front and back. As such, the side wall treatment is more of a priority for conventional speakers rather than Magnepans.

@@AudioNostalgia Nice try from you searching for arguments. You wanna impress readers with that. Measurements and other scientific talking will convince a lot of people. But let me ask you a few questions. Did you ever see or even hear a musical instrument? And a little more difficult: have you ever heard of the formant? You are wrong about me having any commercial connection with Magnepan. I am a pro Conservatory musician, working for 45 years every day with acoustical instruments. And as a hobby busy with hifi from the beginning. What pro studies did you do? Thanks for your attention.

I would say that from the Harbeth line up at the time, these were the most forgiving. Not sure whether this is still the case with their current range. I've never compared these directly to LS3/5A so cannot really comment. All the best!

Haha, thank you! Give me few more years though and I'll become one! :).

Thanks for the feedback - glad you had good experience with these speakers. I measured the caps in mine and surprisingly they measured OK. I can totally see how having the grilles in place would be beneficial in taming the high frequencies and helping with edge diffraction. All the best!

This is a bespoke weigh made by a friend of mine. I'm afraid this is not something you can purchase.

They are great speakers. But they are old, the crossovers are toast.

Thanks. I’d lie if I said that I have experienced a lot of speakers in this price range, however, out of all speakers that I have ever experienced in my listening room, these are so far the best. Do you have any specific loudspeakers in mind? I’m always curious so any recommendations would be appreciated 👍

@@AudioNostalgiaogy’s

@@AudioNostalgia Kii three of course

Thanks. I have a soft spot for these vintage Tannoys.

Thanks. Yes, the DP47F are really nice decks. My only concern with them is how easy or difficult it would be to fix them if something went wrong with the electronics. The circuit boards underneath look rather intimidating 😁. I like automatic TTs, however, there is beauty in simplicity too. After all, you don’t purchase turntable to have an easy life - steaming was developed for this purpose 😂

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, these GRF cabinets really did not work with original MG15 crossovers. Also, at the time my knowledge about XOver design was rather limited (still is TBH) and I did not have a way to do gated measurements of these speakers. Considering the effort that went into building the enclosures, it would have been nice to have more technical background to troubleshoot why these did not sound good. What are you building? 😁

My knowledge is only amateur too🤣. Yet thinking about trying these Barkley cabinets. HPD 385 playing in „temporary” cabs right now and I am sure they can deliver more😉😄!

Thanks, it was. This is my current setup: ua-cam.com/video/mE6SB-qrvOU/v-deo.htmlsi=ho5h36pW20B7IUXk

Thanks. It is rather hard to judge their sound from a UA-cam video but I'm glad you like it. The song is excellent, the video is actually rather poor ;).

@@AudioNostalgia i can judge the sound pretty well because my Lumin is upsampling to 176.4 khz on Spendor S100...sounds nice but since the speaker box is so small...it can't compete with the larger speakers Spendor S100...

The most awful is people judge speaker by listening via youtube lol That let other know you are never in the world of HiFi

​no , at a hifi listening store , they are definitely no active ATC SCM ASL 🤣 .​@@rexregum1530

Each to their own :). Yes, I agree, these speakers are very nice.

Nice! Never heard the 15x but they look cool!
