Harbeth: made in the UK since 1977 - the world's most natural sounding loudspeakers

Welcome to the Harbeth Knowledge Base, run by the manufacturing company, Harbeth Audio Ltd.. This Group exists to explore the objective, rational side of sound at home using HARBETH loudspeakers. 'ISO226, Equal loudness contours' illustrates how the human ear senses sound and how level v. frequency differentials drive our emotions. It is a vital first step in understanding how we interpret the sound world around us.

    1. Can't decide which Harbeth is right for you?

      (2 Viewing)

      Please note: certain markets mandate that we fit 'Special Edition' cable to certain models for marketing reasons. It is for you to decide if there is any change in sound quality.
