Harbeth Comparison

I loved the Harbeth Super HL5s at the RMAF. Has anyone compared the HL5 with the Harbeth Monitor 30 and / or 40.1? I am very interested in adding a Harbeth to my system.

Wood Floors, Persian Carpets and lots of leather furnishings Existing Speakers (Vintage AR3As) sound fine. My research indicates that Harbeths are not bass heavy. I am thinking that even 40.1 would not need treatment.
