    DSPeaker Anti-Mode X4

    Good thoughts. Thanks. Just curious about one more thing which I don't think you've commented on in your review. To your knowledge, does the DSPeaker alter time and phase coherence? While the Harbeths have exemplary frequency domain coherence, time and phase don't seem to be priorities, since...

    That makes a lot of sense. By the way, as I read through your set up, you are listening in a near field, so, presumably, the room effect is smaller than it might otherwise be, and the DSPeaker is primarily working on the Harbeth 40.2 frequency response. Have you had experience or contacts with...

I have combined the Harbeth's with 4 Swarm subwoofers. My DAC is the PS Audio Directstream. So, I go Aries into Directstream into Dspeaker (via analog...
