Really interesting. I go all the way down to 8kHz which I guess is not too bad at 63? Have tinnitus though so have to do something about that. Interestingly, I blew my amplifier up playing too loud over Easter so maybe a proper check is in order. Any preference between Boots and Specsavers or is...

Hi, How superb are these but has anyone blown the fuses? If so, any idea what they are to replace them?

Broken Shahinian Hawks (still sounding great btw). Replaced with Audiovector R6 arrette. A very different experience but absolutely no regrets.

Thanks for all the comments/advice. I have taken the plunge and, after auditioning Devore and Wilson Sabrina X, have gone with Audiovector R6 Arrette. Yes, a touch more than anticipated but a lovely relaxed sound. With a rear facing midrange driver and isobarik loading on the downward pointing...

Interesting, thankyou. Most of my listening now is either in the car or via a Naim MUSO and CAD setup so kind of used to non Shahinian presentation anyway. I think as time passes we look towards more user friendly systems. I am on my way in from a Linn Naim Isobarik system. Next step Dynavector...

Good question. Anything up to £20k I guess but hopefully less than half that. I am looking to future proof which will mean smaller rooms so the speakers will need to reflect this. The Hawks were always going to go this year and what speakers they are even with knackered mid units on the sides of...

A really broad subject I know, but... Listening to all kinds of music (except RAP?) what would you choose? I have broken Shahinian Hawks currently but am open to any thoughts regarding replacements. Amplifiers are Dynavectors. Looking towards Harbeth or Devore based on what I have seen so far...

Not that many for me: Small Wharfedales to start KEF Concord Linn Kan Linn Isobarik Shahinian Hawk

What a great question! When allowed at around 75db with peaks just over 80db depending on music.

Thanks for these comments. Music tastes just about anything with prog rock at the forefront. Not a fan of rap though. Budget could stretch to five figures although any suggestions will obviously be listened to prior to any investment. My thoughts for stand mounted speakers is the liklehood of...

In the near future my wife and I are faced with downsizing! Any thoughts on smaller loudspeakers please? Current setup: Linn LP12/Ekos/Dynavector Dynavector amplifiers CAD CAT, CAT and Groundsource Shahinian Hawk speakers Thanks for any input.

any thoughts?

I have these with Shahinian loudspeakers. How much do you think they are worth? The Shahinian are Hawks.

I do not like to speak badly of people who have fallen on hard times. That said, I have known Derek for 38 years and what a nice chap he and his wife, Clair, are. However, when someone falls on bad finances, an innocent third party suffers. I am that third party. Just prior to Derek’s last issue...

So probably hypothetical this...….but ideas for a system upgrade. Currently CAD DAC, CAT and Ground source (superb and not being upgraded). The rest of the system: Linn LP12, Ekos and Dynavector Dynavector pre and power amplifiers Nakamichi 600 cassette deck Shahinian Hawks Overall really...
