Your room is large enough for almost anything.The difference in speaker size is not that great. The HL5 should have more bass than the M30. The M30 with a high quality sub (REL?) would be a better comparison, and might beat out the HL5.
Harbeth HL5 vs M30
Ok boys, I can't audition either one...no dealer in site. I have owned compact 7es3, so I know the harbeth sound and I want it back, but with more resolution. I have read countless reviews, but I want your thoughts. Yeah I know, use the Harbeth user forum...not a member, this is easier. I will be using a big SS amp in a 23x28
basement with 9' ceilings. The size of the M30 would be nice, but if the HL5 is the sweet spot, as some suggest, I will make them work. Thanks,Mike
