I agree with those who note these are very different speakers. I don't know the Harbeth, but I was underwhelmed by an audition of the C1, and I really like the Devores (and still somewhat regret not buying the RMAF show samples a couple of years back). If "liquid" is your bag, I doubt that is the C1; whatever they do to get some thump out of that tiny box, the result, IMO, is not smooth (lots of people really like them though, this thread notwithstanding).
On 093 v. 096, I'm pretty neutral, and would probably be content to let cost decide.
John D. is a really nice guy by the way, which I care about in buying gear.
As for the digital, I'd get those CDs on some kind of server, and not look back! :)
