Graham LS5/9

[Jwg1749]

A couple of years ago I was engaged in a similar quest. I tried Harbeth SHL5s at home (lovely top end and tonality but uncontrolled bass), and did several demos of SHL5s and M30.1s. The speakers that for me did the good things that Harbeths do, only better, were Sonus fabers. The demo that persuaded me comprised the Cremona Auditor Ms against the SHL5s and M30.1s, all on the end of a D200. I bought a second-hand pair of the Cremonas.

These are speakers that absolutely must be demoed at home, as they're rear-ported.
