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

Having heard the M30 extensively and owned the SHL5s, I would go for the SHL5s.
The M30 as many stated is more of a monitor speaker with a flatter frequency response.
the SHL5s are more musical to my ears.
