Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim?
My answer will be:YES, they are good as reviewers claim.They put many well known speakers manufactures to shame.The highs of ShL5 is the best ,comparing in this price range .They sound very very very realistic,not soft, not harsh,not exaggerated.T... 
Comments/opinions on Monitor Audio PL200's
I was listening 803D and MA pl300 side by side at the dealer's room.Without doubt I liked Pl300 better .From the start PL300 sounded better in every area.Better transperancy,dynamics ,soundstage,bass.Definetly 803D was on the dark side.After that ... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Technics se-a3000,su-c3000 combo .Many people criticizing for being harsh,but i found perfect match with Harbeth SHL5.Pure true realistic harmonic with amazing 3D soundstage,very good separation of instruments:drum plate is drum plate,drum is drum...

Harbeth SHL5 
How close dynaudio s1.4 to c1

The Harbeth phenomenon
The speakers sound good with a variety of relatively inexpensive wiresThat is what i have noticed.And now I use cheapest simple copper wires 8 meters long:)Harbeth tends to sound a little bit forward,so in my opinion speakers needs to be connected...

Harbeth Super HL 's Loudspeakers
I have super hl5,yes they are musical speakers,but not perfect.They don't have punch.For this reason they can sound boring .These speakers are not of that kind which impressed me at first.From the box they sounded very lean with too much highs ext... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1

Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1
Yes I agree with you Ryder abaut amplifier.I find dynamics and bass of harbeth pretty good,involving,but to get that I need to turn up volume a little bit up normal listening levels,abaut 38db or between 10-11 o'clock.Especialy with rock music.The... 
Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1
Harbeths do sound warm after 1 month listening.But i find high frequecies sound not so open like in other speakers.They sound as they are restricted,it is fine if you listen Jazz music ,chamber etc.Try some pop music and it will be very apparent.
