@ jjss49 - I own a pair of Spendor S100"s. I've always felt the Harbeth/Spendor story to be unique because they've historically made a few speakers that seem to be "siblings". I've always imagined the Harbeth 40 series to be a kind of Spendor SP100's on steroids! I've owned my spkrs since 1990(!) and often thought about the Harbeths as an obvious upgrade. I'd love to hear yr impressions of your Spendor's vs. yr Harbeth's!
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.
