got a pair of soundtech mc-15, a harbeth p3esr clone from china. gets good press over in singapore. i just listened to it briefly before christmas and so far so good, i'll have to hit skip up to to listen to the harbeths. notice the listed price is in singapore dollars.

same specs as the harbeths, the 83.5 db rating had me afraid but my 60 watt yaqin had no problems. will get back after some more listening. could be a killer deal.

    Wow that looks very cool. I would be interested to hear how they compare as I have always loved how they sound. Congrats Marvin.

    ^^Sound as good as my computer speakers.

    I guess because I am listening through them.

    No sub? Also curious have you tried with SS amps? If so, was it a displeasing change?

    Do you hear any distortion?

    Me neither. I did hear what seemed to be some very nice sounding speakers the guy was videoing.

    I get your point though. ;):)
