Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor?


I recently auditioned a pair of Harbeth SHL5's and Sendor S8's and was really impressed with the mids on both of these speakers. I was wondering if folks out there who have first hand experience could recommend other speakers that equal or surpass these two in the midrange. Thank you.

I would find an old pair of Spendor BC1 or BC3. I had a pair of SP8, and the BC3 stock had better midrange, but BC3 modded made the SP8 sound unrealistic.

I had a pair of Proac Resp 3.5 that were better than the SP8, esp in the midrange but also much better in the bass.

If you're not into modding the BC1 will probably have the best midrange you'll find.

Old Rogers Studio 1 should also be considered. Or Celestion SL700 if you can find a pair.
