I have SHL5s. Coming from Aerial 10Ts, Wilson WP6s and Kharma 3.2s, I do sense that the Harbeths are just masking some detail in pursuit of a non-stressful sound. On the other hand, I love the kind of fleshed-out vocals and nice saturation of sound that is presented. I have not heard the 40.1s, but I was hoping they would have more detail while keeping the SHL5's density.
Calling Harbeths 40.1 owners
I love to own these speakers but MY room is 4 x 6 meters and will place them along the short side of 4 meters. I wonder it will be too narrow for them. I have HL5s now but having all the reviewers saying how good are the 40.1 is, I am very eager to know if I should upgrade. Thanks.
