Harbelth HL5plus


I am looking to replace a vintage pair of Spendor SP-1s and have been looking at Harbeth HL5 plus as they seem to be a more modern version of the Spendor.  I listened to a a pair recently and found the imaging and upper end quite beautiful, but found the lower end a bit lacking.  The retailer explained it away as the speakers had not yet been broken in,  Are there any Harbeth owners out there who can comment on the bass response?
Thanks

I own the SHL5+'s and adore them.  They are a bit power hungry, but as long as your amp has enough juice, bass shouldn't be an issue.  That said, I live in an older apt, and rarely crank it up too loud.  But the imagining is phenomenal.
