JPW AP2

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

The man is a saleman FULL STOP his own representation of his history and how he bought Harbeth confirms this. I don't care what he did since as there are things about him and the company that puts my back up and obviously doesn't yours. 1. he has a closed mind 2. he doesn't use his ears (otherwise he wouldn't say all amp sound the same). 3/ he overprices and rips off his customers. 4/ the whole company ethos is based on marketing BBC design as though he owns it. 5/ he has a forum that does not allow non party line comment, and that allowed is ridiculed from a position of superior ignorance. 6/ there is NOTHING to commend this company to prospective customers apart from BULLSHIT.

You don't need to wait for Cubes. Again I challenge you Dave, just start by removing the wadding. Do it to a Harbeth if you can then come and tell us how clever the man is.

BTW I intended to insult the man because in my opinion he deserves it, he an objectivist pollutant on the industry who is sending new hobbyist on a line AWAY from the music.

Dave "I'm not as closed minded as you think, but I find 'you lot' as entrenched in your groove as you accuse me of being in mine. I'm not in a hole at all, but I await hearing the Cubes with interest once a pair is made up."

The difference is we have heard the speakers according to BBC and heard the same or similar speakers according to Doc Mods. FIND ME ONE PERSON WHO HAS GONE BACK. Where as you will not even remove some wadding to open your ears so cannot comment as you have not tried.

In fact I have some ML310's to do next for my Son - that'll be interesting too

Let us know what you do to them,i am sat here listening to a pair,all i have done is unstuff them,but feel i aught to do more,if only to not be left out of things.I do like how they sound now,so it might not be worth messing with them,eh.!? I am spoilt thou' as i spend most of my day listening to a pair of Grado RS1's from an AP10

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Unstuffing is the simplest and easiest and most time and cost effective, but there is more benefit if you want to go look for it.

Do you have the 310's on stands and placed near the wall?

[wallace]

Yes,Shane,they are on some auralex studio pads on my desk each side of my laptop jammed up to the wall.

Now that paints a pretty picture in my head Wallace.

You sitting by the fire in yer favourite comfy chair (perhaps a wee dram on the table beside you) RS1's upon yer noggin, calmly enjoying you favourite sounds via an AP10, whilst un-plucking a bookshelf loudspeaker.

Tranquillity.........Does it get any better...!!!

Well, he & his forum certainly appear averse to subjectivists/subjectivism. Why would that be then I wonder?

My personal take on this is that it suggests quite strongly that nobody should trust their own ears

Is that not in itself pure marketing, in the vein of... Look we (Harbeth) know best So, they know (via measurement) what's best for me in my room?

Sorry, but that's just complete

No Mr Shaw. From what I've heard - purely subjectivley of course is that my measuring instruments (EARS) tell me quite clearly that Doc knows best
