I was looking to buy a pair of Harbeth speakers and decided to ask the manufacturers what they thought would work in my room. Alan Shaw himself replied. In the end he suggested the particular speakers I was looking at wouldn't work. He did suggest a smaller model in the range that would work though. These guys make great speakers and are passionate about sound - they lost a sale but gave me the right advice. I thought that was brilliant. So perhaps send an email to Harbeth if you haven't already. Good luck and enjoy the music!
Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30?
I’m leaning strongly towards a (used) Harbeth upgrade, and was focussed on the P3ESR until I noticed a pair of Monitor 30s available for around the same price.
My room is far from ideal. Hard floors, about 15'x18', with a further, narrower extension on one side of the longer dimension, and a small window bay on the other. The speakers are set up on one side of the 15' space, and I sit on the other.
I have done some searching and read a few opinions, but if anyone has experience with both, or any thoughtful opinion, I’d welcome your thoughts.
Cheers,
Tony
