richieb Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 A1 I look forward to short review on you "British sound" components - the LFD and the HL5. I have been intrigued with Harbeth for some time but have yet to find courage to pull the trigger. Maybe you can opine their $$$ vs. sound quotant. Not neccessarily vs. Klipsch but tone, stage, cohesion etc. Thanks And it appears you are leaving VRD for LFD. British integrated for American tube monos. Interesting flip.

moray james Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) make a trip to Calgary and I can let you hear the H3 and the HL5 in the same room if you like but there really is not much of a contest between the two, the Klipsch rules the rock. Harbeth HL5 about 3-4 years old now Edited June 12, 2015 by moray james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 did you get the stands also ?, I love monitors for there ability to present a 3d soundstage and pretty much disappear in a room, integrating better bass is always the issue I have heard all the arguments about subs and you supposedly cant hear where it is, I always had issue (almost always, my Edgar seismic's integrated very well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I guess it would depend on what the shipping boxes looked like when they arrived....were they crunched in the same spots? Was the packing appropriate? Plus, not knowing what you paid for them, kind of hard to determine a refund to "make it right".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Any pictures prior to shipment? He may have presented them as pristine to sell them knowing he'd offer a refund once you got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 The boxes had no damage and before pictures not to clear There you go. Easier to sell pristine speakers and offer compensation when they're not, than damaged ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakeydeal Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 If you got the speakers and the stands for that price, you got a killer deal. If that is for speakers only, still a pretty good deal. I agree that they probably went in the box looking like that and I hate dishonesty. But I think if he kicks you back a couple hundred bucks, you should be whole.
