at the time. I was bi amping the sbls with the naxo,hicap & 2-250s ,I owned the 82 pre amp.I also borrowed a 52. & it came down to either owning the 52 or going bi-amped,I felt that the 52 was a better move for me & went back to the single 250.(still have the second 250 sitting around unused). Auditioned the Harbeths over a year ago ,picked up a pair of second gen compact 7s & really liked them,listened to the 3rd gen compact 7s @ the local harbeth dealer(david michael audio) & the difference in sound quality was worth upgrading to the 3rd gen...................all was well ,untill I had the opportunity the bring home the 5's for a weekend,a lot of money for the speaker ,BUT well worth it (sold a full carbon kestrel bicycle to help finance the up grade) NOTE: I am officially done making changes in my home system.As far as portable audio....different story. On a second note: I purchased my SBLs many, many years back @ absolute sound ( JUDE,our moderator used to work there back in the day,lost track of him over the years ,only to run back into him @ a head-fi meet at the harbeth dealers place) SMALL world.
