I watched you easily move the PCM Prodigy 1 and was curious regarding their weight (thereby the rigidity of the speaker cabinet and the resonance frequency control). The PCM specification states 4.5kg. By comparison the entry level ATC speaker SCM7 is specified with a weight of 7.5kg. The Prodigy 1 is £1250 and the SCM7 is £1100. So, the speakers are in a similar price category. I guess the design key requirement is how the speakers sound and this is a subjective assessment.

I had an original Quad 405 , ........it sounded way better with the limiter reistors in place ( 50 watt instead of the 100 - to protect the electrostaic speakers ) . SS does has difficulies to get the instruments and singers becomming free one of another , with air and sace as well as ceating more body to each. How does the new Quad performs in this " quality " ...? I would like to test/use it with a high quality tube preamp ........only that's dificult today .

Actually QUAD offers better values for money than NAIM in terms of amplifier

I'ts always seemed incomprehensive to me why owners of BBC heritage type speakers even bother with any other amplification than Accuphase/Luxman (other than price of course wich is a legit reason). It's that good of a pairing.

is there any difference between legacy SP2/3 and the classic SP2/3?

any opinion on the celestion 7 mk2? picking up a pair later today & hoping they sound as sweet as they look! thanks.

Perfect review for me, great video mate. Serviced and recapped Meridian 557 owner here, very happy. Bought my 557 2nd hand too, but was a good recapped and serviced example by Ex Meridian engineer. Run mine into a PS Audio BHK Preamp. Been curious about benefits of going Monoblock over single amp, but PS Audio prices are too spicy for me. Was curious about the Quad Artera power amps, perhaps an upgrade for the future for my system? Still that thing though about cost vs improvement. Why not get another serviced 557 and biamp with THOSE? Single Meridian is 200watts @ 8ohms, doubling up will only improve the headroom and Meridian "grunt" that its got. Would need to hear the Quad Mono's in my system to make a call, If they were night and day better than a single Meridian... would probably buy them. But they are £3K a pair, whereas a good example serviced Meridian would be just over a grand. ... and I could reuse my existing 557. No shame on the Quads, its just that the 557 is a BEAST of an amp, as you know. Came across your video just as I was thinking about that again - the UA-cam algorythym is spooky!

Still waiting for the other Atoll review.

You have one of the most serious and accurate youtube channels in my opinion!!!

Nice review an expert at work.

Harbeth is a joke.

It's subjective of course, but I've never understood why people go so mad about Quad amps. To me the sound is dull and lifeless, completely lacking any kind of excitement or soul. Still, whatever floats your boat ...

This is total BS.

Celestions are muffled in comparison to me.

Yeah, no I would never buy one of his upgrades. No, not worth it. Not even better. A lot of people rip them upgrades out once they put them in

would u consider these to be an upgrade over gato fm15 speakers?

Hi very great review as always Thank you for this analysis of a great speaker from a great brand at the cost of sounding trivial i think that drivers make the sound in the end In this case i think that the suspect is the tweeter What is stiff can sound clean but hard for resonances not tamed enough I am more on DIY so i would have no issue in trying different tweeters in place of the originals I mean the cabinet must be just great, the woofer very good indeed, the xover wirings and binding posts i guess decent I would experiment with some soft domes tweeters known for great sound Something from Vifa Seas as an example Just one last word about cabinets I have the feeling that most people do not understand how a cabinet is important These cabinets should be quite state of the art I would keep them for ever Great speakers Thanks again and kind regards gino

Me gustaria saber en que video anterior repara esta dureza de la suspensión del 8", tengo un problema parecido (falta de graves) con mis SP2/3E. Gracias

Pw supply UF 4007 fast 4 better than bridge, panasonic FC cond.give most,modern 3055 a 2955 use 0,1 ohm 1W on emitter.

Evoke 50 with amplifier seems more warm sound but Focus 50 beats are more crispy and "cutting"

Happy new year.. I am encountering Celestion for the first time. Have invested in some cheap DL6's. Found issues with both crossovers - one fixed by resoldering joint. But question - how can I tell if the crossovers are actually factory. They dont look it - attached by glue to back of speaker post plate and more components than others.. Are you prepared to advise if I could send you a picture of one for review? Or could you point me to someone who would be able to help??

I am actually listening to this on my desktop system with SA1s. I have tried about 10 different speakers and ended with these. None of the others bring out the emotion in the music. When you hear it, you know!

Spendor 2/3 has a different drive on the bass. First of all, I really wouldn't play it through the phone! When replacing the tweeter, didn't you also need to make corrections to the crossover? The impedance and crossover frequency are right. That sound is not Spendor 2/3

What amp and pre is he using?

How do the 2/2 compare to A4?

Great video.

The Harbeth sounds exceptionally crisp and clear in what most people like their Hi Fi to sound like. But being a musician what l hear from the Spendors is very natural and unforced in the timbre of any instrument in that music and l like that.

I like those speakers,but their tweeters are not me cup of tea....

I had a pair of DL4 Mk 2 and they sounded great. Unfortunately someone had stored them somewhere damp and as such the fibreboard/MDF has a smell of mould and I had to part with them. I guess people store these in lofts, sheds, garages etc when they don't use them anymore then sell them on years later. But they did sound great, would like another pair for sure.

They are good,but i prefer sweeter midrange and i don't hear that with these speakers.

Modified my pair of SL600's with B&W TMS-301 1" blue tweeters. They look better and transforms sound.

Which speakers are your favourite?

I would like to hear Epos ES11's!

So which one is the most refined and immediate sounding one? Falcons?

Hi thank you very much for your alway great comparisons one issue often overlooked in small speakers is their mass i.e. weight Increasing mass moves the box resonances down in frequency and possibly below the speaker working range The sa1 at 5.5 kg are just too light Look at how heavy are the very best minimonitors around Even 20kg/each a light cabinet will resonate just in the delicate midrange blurring the sound I do no what to sound extreme but take the drivers and xover of the sa1 and place them in the 5 kUSD/each Magico A1 cabinet and the sound will be quite similar Maybe i little lighter on bass but possibly even better in the midrange The cabinet is so important and people dont realize that I made some experiments and i was shocked by the differences I mean same drivers xover and different cabinet Like night and day There is a good test to check for box resonances Let the system warm up At a certain point in absence of resonances the speakers should seem like disconnected from the system and the sound completed detached from the boxes I love Spendor speakers a lot Like all best british speakers by the way

A man of many talents, now only if I had a decent HiFi System to listen to this. Have a great Christmas Kevin

The way the Harbeth presented your voice was so uncannily realistic.....for a minute there it was almost as if you were repeating yourself😮

Hi! Thanks for the "jingle"! Great tune, wonderful playing! Thanks! 😊🎶🎶🎶

why are there no subtitles??😩

Thank you so much for this review!!I have a small room 12m2 and i listen nearfield, ProAc Responce DB3 or Proac tablette 10 signature?

Beautiful mate. What a talent. ❤

Very nice 👌

It’s the other way around. A bass heavy speaker won’t be a problem with classical musical, since there is not much to exaggerate in this area.

How would SL600 compare to BW805D4?

Bla bla bla and no demo, what a waste off time, and if you think the NAD 3020 fell short off power your going deaf or you never heard a piece off hi fi equipment.

I have the monitor 2 gold ones . Would there be much difference withe ones ?

I had the originals 50 yrs ago

Beautiful sound 👍

Hi ... i got my LS6f last Weekend 🤩🤩🤩 and its Mind blowing. OK old Spendors 25/1 (german version of S20 and reworked 2017) sounds very good too, but the LF is much better with the LS6f. I dont know i sell my old Spendors or not.😊 thanks for you good Videos, they help me with my Choice to buy the LS6f

Hi, I just messaged you on your other video. This looks closer to what I have. Are the A1, A2, and A3 tweeters the same? I have the A3's and I blew one tweeter. The frame is oval shape. The metal dome is fine. There's just no more sound. What is the best way to remedy this problem? Thank you
