Production of Harbeth anniversary edition speakers sold out!!

@arturgorniak I agree with you. I have heard a lot speakers also (probably not as many as you have) and I settled with the Harbeths. I also purchased the Falcon LS3/5A because they’re amazing also. However, few weeks ago I have heard the Joseph Audio Perspective2s and they became the best speakers I have ever heard. Though, at $15K, I am not sure when or if I can buy a pair:)

I heard Perspectives 2 but were not my cup of tea. Way too reveling in a long run for MY taste. 

I hear ya. What impressed me most with the Perspective2s was how close they sounded to live music. I haven’t spent too much time with them because I was at a show but they may make me tired to listen to after a short while, who knows.  I can listen to my SHL5s for hours with zero fatigue. 

@arturgorniak  I have the same speakers as you but drive them with a LFD NCSE Mk III.  It's an excellent combination.  Have you ever had the chance to hear this amp with your 40.2's?  I'm intrigued by your amp set up but my space is too small to run big amplifiers (based on physical space they take up) so my quest has been primarily limited to integrated amps.  Someday if I can set up a new music space I might experiment with some high power amps.  One this I'm certain of is the Harbeths are here to stay.
