Vandersteen Treo vs Harbeth 30.1

Anyone compared these two speakers? They are the same price and each brand is well respected. I have heard the Treos but have never heard the Harbeth. How are they similar...likewise, how are they different in their presentation. My impressions of the Treo was that it was a bit on the warmish side. Nothing spectacular but a very inviting and involving speaker that drew me into the music in a subtle way. I have heard similar comments about the Harbeth but something tells me they have a completely different sound. Am I correct?

Have not heard the vandersteens but have heard the harbeths, and depending on
your listening preferences (hard rock, jazz, classical?) the harbeths are outstanding, but if loud and punchy is something you require, I would avoid them. However if a quad electrostatic is the type of speaker you appreciate, the Harbeths are the best choice. I think they are an incredible speaker and would satisfy most music lovers.
