My first Harbeth's were PS3ER's and I loved them. Sold them to go up the chain. Purchased the Compact 7 series and I thought it was one of the worst speakers I ever heard in my space. Returned these and bought the 30.1's. These were much better but took four different amps to finally to get them to sing. Right now I am using a LFD NCSE MkII amplifier and it pairs quite nicely.
Harbeth Love and your experiences
Hi all,
I LOVE Harbeth speakers.
Some years ago I heard the 40.1s the very first time. I could tell they were special. I remember them pulling me into the music and stopped me trying to analyze how the speakers sound.
A month ago, I heard the 40.2s and they were also good but I kinda remembered the 40.1s sounding better overall.
My Harbeth hunt didn't stop. Today I heard the SLH5Plus and Compact 7es3.
First the SLH5 Plus, very good. I enjoyed them a lot for almost all sort of music type. Then I switched to Compact 7es3. WOW! I loved them. Amazing. Something very special about them. Different than SLH5 Plus. Probably the best speakers I have heard regardless of price.
What is the best Harbeth model you have heard?
I wonder if the older Harbeths sound better? I wonder how the Monitor 30s sound? Or the previous SLH5 (non Plus).
Can you please share your experiences?
Thanks.
