Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space?

That's a large room... 40.1's would be my recommendation. I've owned them before. Your amp is plenty powerful enough. Anything less would benefit from a subwoofer.

Thanks. I was afraid that would be the answer, not inexpensive. I've never used a sub, would Harbeths mate seemlessly with a sub?

Thanks very much for the reply.

I use a REL Storm MK III with my SHL5's. Is it seamless... no. Is it as good as my time with the M-40.1's... no. But still a nice sounding set up. The sub adds some fullness and body to the sound and expands the soundstage.

HI River251,

Pdreher's recommendationof using the SHL5 + sub (Or M30.1 + sub) will do the trick. First, I'd try without using a sub to see if are satisfied with the bass response.

Having said that, if you are not, I do wonder how much better it will get with
the 40.1s and I'm sure they'll fill your space quite well and it is nice to not have to deal with a sub at all.

I also agree that you have plenty of power for the Harbeths.

Keep us posted,

Vinnie

A belated thank you, guys.
