I have not heard the Harbeth-7es.I owned a pair of B&W tower speakers that cost $3500 new. As time went on I listened to less and less music because the sound quality was disappointing. I auditioned and purchased the Fritz Carbon 7 speakers. My wife and I now listen to music every day. This speaker is a great value.
Harbeth-7es or Fritzspeakers carbon-7
These are 2 speakers that people always rave about. I haven't heard either. The Harbeths are sold through traditional B&M stores stores so you have to pay the full mark-up. The Fritz speakers are sold direct so you don't pay the dealer mark-up. I'm wondering If these speakers are comparable. The Harbeths retail for 3500.00 and the Fritz speakers sell for 1750.00. I would Imagine the Fritz speakers would retail for about 3000.00 If they were sold through normal distribution channels. If anyone here have heard both I would love to hear your comments.
