Has anyone heard the Harbeth Shl5 plus 40th anniversary edition??


Hello people,

Has anyone heard the new Harbeth Shl5 plus 40th anniversary edition speakers? And if so how the devil are they?! WBT terminals, what looks to be Clarity caps on the XO and new internal wiring... Sounds good to me : )

Cheers

listened to them for quite a while at AXPONA.  they seemed more bass heavy than the current shl5+ and more natural on the top end.  i prefer the current version and like the slightly brighter sound.  if i were in the market i would get the non anniversary version.  
shertzy,
yes the amps were the vinnie rossi lio modular amps.  they sound spectacular.   vinnie loves harbeths and he has used them at the three audio shows I have been to.  
last year he was using the monitors 40.2s and they sounded more natural than the SHL5 40th.  year before that he used the non anniversary SHL5+  and they sounded brighter, same with my local dealer who carries harbeth.
