Harbeth SHL5 or M40

I am considering both speakers. I have heard the SHL5 and its is very nice. I am wondering if it is worth the extra cost (almost double the price) to move up to the M40.

The m40 has a 12" woofer and the SHL5 is using an 8" woofer.

Room is 14 X 18 8 foot tall - wood base floor.

Is somone has both these speakers I would love to hear from your.

Thanks

The M-40's work great in my room, about 13 X 17. They are probably the best monitor-type speaker I have heard. Some people have problems with the warmth of the M-40, but I think it is because they are accustomed to the modern "lean 'n mean sound" that increases apparent (not actual) detail. If you go to any decent concert hall, you will not hear this lean 'n mean characteristic.

Listen to the Cream live at Albert Hall CD through the M-40's, you will know what it is all about.
