Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1


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.

I have not heard my amps with the 40.1s, but with my SHL5s the Manley amps are killer.
Considering the starter of this thread already owns the Harbeths, and is thinking about upgrading in there line, we can assume he is one of the many that likes them.
Markus, How big is your room? Do you (and any other 40.1 owners) think they would work in a 14 1/2 X 19 1/2 X 8 foot room? Also with the power I'm using now? manley Snapper 100 watt amps.
I've got treatment up now, but its easily moved around. Plus my room is dedicated so i dont have to worry about placement becoming an issue.
