Did you listen to Osborn speakers?

I remember you from Stereonet.

You nearly bought cornwalls of me.

only draw backs with 30.7 is you need a massive room and big power amps.

Yes true. I have a big room and I use a mcintosh mc 462 power amplifier with 450 watts.

thought it might have been you. my final three speakers was the Cornwalls, ATC 150/100 actives and my Dukes.

They all good speakers but somewhat different sounding to each other.

The cornwalls were a excellent buy from me for 5 grand.

The Harbeth M40 series are really well done. Not that last word in any one area, but very satisfying. They are great over long listening sessions and remain superbly detailed yet non fatiguing.

Agree with you.i owned the 40.2,but sold them and now miss them.

Cornwalls and ATC/Dukes have diff signatures. test over 12 speakers a few years back including 20.7, etc and really only 4 gave me the sound that i was looking for (40.2 being the 4th).

Yes very different.I haven’t heard the dukes but they must be very good speakers for the money.

Your welcome to a listen to my stacked lascala if you like,sounds much beater than one pair imho.I haven’t got the 30.7s hooked up at the moment.

 

[Genkifd]

i dont think i would be interested in listening to stacked lascalas - thanks for the offer. 30.7 maybe if Melb wasnt in lock down.

No worries at all.

ive heard the 20.7 - love the sounds stage and quickness but thats about it. Ive heard the Cornwalls - wow the lively sound. Heard that the lascalas lack bass.

Did you know all drivers in la Scala are much better than in the cornwalls.I had them but wasn’t happy.

I really would like to buy a pair of Harbeths 40.3xd to be my small speaker reference.

i dont know. i know cornwalls had a nice bass but from forums lascalas bottom end isnt as good.

No it’s better faster and tighter Just not as deep.
