Anyone moved on from Harbeth C7es3?


I've gone from Quad ESL57 to Harbeth C7s (because of space) over the last 3 years and I've been very happy but as I've starting playing more guitar my tastes have shifted and I've been longing a bit for a speaker that's more dynamic. Anyone made that move and what speaker were you happy with?

What amp are you using? I own the Compact 7es3, and used to think they did everything wonderfully except rock. I recently changed the amp from an LFD integrated to a Naim NAP200 (driven by Naim DAC v1). Now the C7s do everything wonderfully including rock. The NAP 200 has energized these speakers and brought solidity, definition, and control to the low end. They're still not monsters of slam, but I'm not yearning for a more dynamic speaker. The C7s do so much right that it might be worth considering a change in amplification before a change in speaker. Just a thought for the day...
