The Harbeth line of speakers are not built with a specific price point in mind. It's the other way around: the complexity and parts costs dictate what the speaker needs to cost to cover all costs....

That's true!



Me too!

I would not be so sure... First, I don't think the SHL5 would be too woolly, as I find the SHL5 to not sound woolly at all, unless poorly positioned. I also wouldn't call the C7 more open or...

In this situation, I guess the SHL5 would also be suitable, but the deciding factor will definitely be the audition. Technically, all models (except M40.1) would be suitable.

Just want to say that as a dealer, we have some experience with SHL5 in multiple rooms and they always sound best with ANY wall at least 75 cm away for the bass to not be overbearing and/or for the...

This is the only correct answer to the high input sensitivity/high source output. Thanks! Saved me typing it all! :) I can't understand why Alan would confuse high input sensitivity with (pre-amp)...

I find Custom Design 'Fish Tank' stands to be very, very good... They are custom made in exactly the size you wish (exact to the mm). Order them with filling holes and fill up with Inert Filler to...

I think the answer mostly lies in companies wanting to bring to market a speaker that grabs the attention among a field of less attention grabbing speakers. This soon becomes a slippery slope, when...

I am sorry, I don't know the type of filter used in the SPL-1000R... Normally, we just measure until we have a good flat response between speaker and subwoofer, something that is also easily done by...

As a Velodyne dealer, we have been very successful integrating SPL subwoofers with Harbeth.

I would suggest experimenting a lot with placement (a corner behind one of the speakers, in the middle...

Yes, it will be a much better match for the room. As a dealer of Harbeth speakers, I really advise people to have at least 75 cm of space around the speakers and will never advise these speakers in...

My sincere condolences to Derek and his family...

Getting the P3ESR/ES2 would be the best solution, but not the most affordable one... Stuffing ports has its effect on the midrange as well and I don't recommend it. Do keep in mind that have bigger...

Don't bother with burn-in CD's. 'Burning' in speakers is a reality for some brands (I have heard Meridian DSP speakers and speakers from Wilson Benesch benefit extremely from burn-in), but for...

You have a beautiful system and room sidvee!

Even in our treated demo room (lots of lossy glass, dubble gipsum walls and ceiling, large tuned bass traps and acoustic paneling suspended from the ceiling to form even more bass trapping), which is...

I think the room is MUCH too small for the SHL5. You could easily get booming bass in that room. The best match would be the P3ESR.

Try Dick Hyman plays Fats Waller on Reference Recordings! It's a close-up recording, but very natural nonetheless.

The super tweeter must work well below that frequency, although I cannot tell which frequency exactly.

Don't know if it helps anything, but I hear the SHL5 supertweeters always playing along, regardless of genre.

Any more questions...? :) Thorough... As always.

I use a Velodyne DD10 subwoofer with my M30.1 AE and find it essential. I have a room with a 'lossy' construction (built in 1920's), so I get almost no room gain, which means a sharp roll-off under...

Lots of good things are being said already... For a very useful unofficial database of the dynamic range of recordings, please bookmark http://dr.loudness-war.info. It can be quite interesting to...

I think the M30.1 is the star in the Harbeth line-up, you have made a very wise choice!

Regarding the stands: don't empty them completely, leave in just enough sand so the stands don't 'ring'....

And the second one:
