Harbeth P3 vs KEF LS50W

About to pull the trigger on ls50w but I'm also interested in a used pair of Harbeth 3 or maybe 7.. How would you compare them with ls50w?

I don't have any amp for the moment but if I decide and find the Harbeths, I would maybe look for a used LFD zero.. I live in an apartment, the living room is about 5 x 3.5m.

How does the ls50w sound with low volume playing?

Please give me all the details about these speakers!

I’ve never listened to the Kef,so I can’t comment on it. I own the P3 and have owned the 7. The p3 will work better in your size room. Here is a nice review on the P3. BTW, I have owned many LS3/5A type of speakers and the Harbeth is my favorite!

Thanks for reply.

The P3 sounds to be a real gem!

I Hope anyone else can chime in on comparison with ls50w as well..
