Harbeth?
« on: April 06, 2013, 09:02:53 PM »
I have been intrigued by Harbeth speakers for a long time and was wondering if any body had any that I could hear. I would love to see if they live up to my expectations. Thanks in advance.

Yes, you do, and let me give my unbiased opinion that it is one of the nicest setups I have heard.   You don't hear "the box" at all, just the music.   Your system is quite lovely.

Not much help - but a local dealer here in Chicago caries them as his "main" speaker and I am always impressed with their sound. Very natural and warm, and to my ears, sound like a much bigger speaker. Hope you get a chance to hear a few pairs.
