Harbeth P3ESR vs the new XD

Well, the sales have been much higher with these improvements. Why dont you call the distrubitor and ask him..rather then posting here. I dont care if you buy them or not. But, if sales are higher and the improvements were based on what customers wsnted..id say its a good move for them. If you prefer, im sure others can give you 75 different speakers. As to marketing from them..thats what this hobby and most things are about...getting you excited. Are we in the 1970s ?? 

Everybody has there opinions..there eill be some who dont like this and that. Its up to the person. Most people, do like the anniv which is now the xd version. The sales have been better with xd version. 

Um, the distrubitor told me the xd is a better selling speaker and what MOST wanted in an upgrade. Have to find another speaker then if you want new, the older version has very few left. 

New XD has better crossover, better enhancements to cabinet construction, and improved upper midrange and lower midrange. These are on back order, unless a dealer has them in stock. 6 weeks minimum

The Harbeth’s development team has, once again, redefined what is possible from this use anywhere loudspeaker. The completed redesign maximizes the performance potential of the Harbeth exclusive RADIAL2TM Cone Technology, the evolved P3ESR XD delivers breathtaking transparency, accurate bass and dynamic integration across the audio spectrum.

 

Arguably one of the most advanced speakers in its class, this mini monitor allows you to discover those transparent moments where you feel like you’re breathing the same air as the musicians on the recording.

 

The completed redesign is one of the most ground-breaking speakers ever released by Harbeth.

Go away

The sales are higher now....i believe they made these improvements based on cust feedback etc. Saying most like older models is impossible to say accurately. You would have to speak to most customers, not some. Being accurate when posting is preferred. This is the speaker now...plenty others out there. 

Some dealers have the xd new in stock
