Title: Harbeth?
Post by: mikey813 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.

I have the Harbeth Compact 7es-3's  driven with PrimaLuna Dialogue 2 and a pair of DIY subs.

I believe Northern Audio is a dealer.

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.
