SF Guarneri Homage vs Harbeth 7ES3


I am considering either one of these two speakers. A used Guarneri does not cost much more than a new Harbeth 7ES3. I listen to a lot of Jazz, vocal, strings, country. All of my electronics is EAR (except for a Shindo preamp). Any recommendations from people who've tried both? Thanks.

Daveyf, I do still have an ad here on the 'Gon...I'm thinking these sound amazing and I won't do much better for this listening space. I have been playing with set up and they are really blending nicely with the room now. I should just keep them and become part of the GH club.
Maybe a good way to describe the Guarneri's would be...a richly detailed sound. They are very resolving speakers....certainly on a different level of performance then the lower level Sonus Faber speakers.
That is a good question. Sitting here listening to them...they sound amazing...maybe I should just get a subwoofer. I have been thinking about getting a pair of Amanti Homages...very hard to find.
Daveyf, My room is large enough where it needs some more bass....I like it deep and textured. Midrange and highs are amazing...not sure anything else I have had can touch this level of performance and pleasure to the ears. I would say if I had some more bass performance this would be about perfect for my ears.

As1963, Just curious have you tried any JL Audio subs? Was thinking about two F-110's. I'll have to look into the T-2.
Daveyf, Decided to make up a subwoofer myself. I can play around with design and tuning for my listening space. Maybe a cost effective way to add that touch more bass performance I'm looking for from the sound.
