Harbeth 7es3/HL5 or Usher Dancer Mini 2?

Hi!

I feel like I'm asking you all to help me kick the tires here, but as my speaker search extends and narrows, any feedback would be appreciated.

Completely different speakers, I realize; and I've heard neither of them. But both are highly acclaimed. The Usher's a floorstander, while the Harbeths are stand-mounted. I live nowhere near where I can audition these, unfortunately.

Driven by an LSA Statement (150w/ch); small listening room; lots of jazz, folk rock, instrumental, etc.

Opinions? And if Harbeth, which one?

The dark horse is the Audiokinesis Jazz.

Harbeth makes very musical speakers. I love them especially for violin/cello sonatas, jazz combos, and singer/songwriter type music the most.

You may want to join the HUG, Harbeth Users Group and will learn quite a lot from other users there.

The designer voiced these speakers in a small room. I would think that in your room, you could be quite happy with not only the P3ESR, but also the Compact 7's and M30.1's depending on your ability for placement and room treatments.

I have zero experience with the UshersÂ….sorry!

Good luck in your search.
