Harman Kardon HK630

4 out of 5 "User Review: Harman Kardon HK630 – A Timeless Analog Classic"
The Harman Kardon HK630 is a pure analog Class AB amplifier that continues to impress decades after its release. With a frequency response that stretches far beyond the limits of human hearing, it delivers music with remarkable clarity and precision—especially when paired with high-end speakers. Despite being a product of the 1990s, it still holds its own against modern gear, offering a soundstage that’s both detailed and dynamic. Owning a... (Full Review)

4 out of 5 "..still good!"
Very good speakers for their age! The bass is soft (but not flabby or loose) pleasant to listen to, and the mids and treble are there and quite detailed. Overall a good and balanced speaker. If you want to upgrade with something new-modern you have to really pay a lot of money.. otherwise stay with them!.. (Full Review)

5 out of 5 "Kefkit 2"
I bought a pair of these about 40 years ago, and assembled them into closed (non ported) fairly large (3' x 2' x 1.5') boxes filled with wadding. The produce exceptionally clean non-boomy base and speech sounds like there's someone really there. Even at age 81 with hearing aides they are great, for both classical and rock, need to be driven by a good amplifier. (Full Review)

5 out of 5 "Better than the rest of the series."
Pair them with a decent subwoofer, put a sock in the reflex port and enjoy. I already had the M2 when I bought these for my desk and in comparison I find them better. Is it the smaller woofer? The lower crossover frequency or the woofer and tweeter closer together? I don´t know but if they don´t have to make deep bass, the M1 are superior. A smaller mid woofer is better, a lower crossover frequency is better and placing the woofer and the tweet... (Full Review)

5 out of 5 "NAIM XS 2"
Ive owned the XS 2 for almost 10 years running it with a Naim CD player. Its perfect with a good CD player and was a good step up from my previous Naim 250s/72/Hicap. More features at lower cost. I owned a Supernait 2 for awhile but went back to a XS 2. I think its the best value. (Full Review)

5 out of 5 "naim CDS3 vs CD5XS"
CDS3 is wonderful but its very expensive. The Naim CD5 XS uses the same PCM redbook converter made in chip form, the R2R multi-bit PCM 1704-K (selected) dac chip, 2 of them] and the CD5XS has the best HDCD filter chip, the PMD200. Naim should restart manaufacturing the CD5XS. (Full Review)

Sony TA-FE530R

5 out of 5 "SONY TA-FE530R"
Solid, beautifully built amp. Very sharp, detailed, precise sound, works very well with Mission 731 Pro speakers. Sound may be too clinical for some people. The Sony TA-400 has a warmer, heavier sound but is not as controlled. I really can't fault this amp. For my ears it is perfect. (Full Review)

5 out of 5 "Mordaunt Short MS 3.10 owned since new"
These speakers were purchased new in Harry Moore's in Dublin in the early 90's. They were for my bedroom at the time and after listening to the opening scene of Top Gun on VHS in the shop, I spent my 100 old Irish pounds. They have served so well over the years and are still working perfectly. They have hung on walls, sat on floors, shelves and cabinets. What a sound. Considering upgrading to something with broader range, and passing them onto ... (Full Review)
