I currently own the Harbeth SHL5's and I'm considering upgrading to there 40.1's but I'm wondering how significant the improvement is based on the bucks that these speakers cost. Anyone have experience with these speakers? My Amp is a Cary 120s tube through a Cary SLP05 preamp.
if i had the room for the 40.1 i would seriously consider them, otherwise i'll just stick to my SHL5s.The bigger harbeths definitely need room to breath, otherwise, the bass could be an issue.
I was able to compare the leben the cs600 with the LFD on both C7es3 and the SHL5. I will await your comments before i post mine observations but lets just say in the end, the Leben had to go. YMMV.
Heard extensively the Jeff Rowland Capri pre/power amp awhile back at dealer's place driving the Harbeths. Power is definitely not an issue. I do find the sound on the warm side of things which some people really like. I would have preferred a more neutral sounding amp with the Harbeths as the harbeths are warm to begin with. Nonetheless, different strokes for different folks. None bad at all!!
I'm very curious how the 40.1 would stack up w the SHL5s in a room were the SHL5s are optimal. What i read is that the 40.1s bass is bit overwhelming and some room correction device would help in that instance. Looking forward to your experience, Mark.
