Anyone listened to LaHave Speakers

I still have mine (for about 2 years now). Yep, natural
tonality is what defines
these speakers top to bottom. About the bass, I have heard
(mainly at the NY show) some well known monitors (Harbeth
among them) that have bass that seems be from a much larger
speaker, but, in comparison to the Melas, the bass from
these sounds sort of forced IMHO, but in the Melas the bass
is just there and sonorous and is some of the most tuneful
bass I ever heard, and does not feel truncated. It holds a
sustained bass note beautifully without quivering, it's just
nice and solid.
I'll stop now before I go on about the liquid but vivid mids
and sweet un-metallic highs.
I went through a lot of speakers but these are staying.

Imaging is fine, but, honestly, big planars and big Wilsons
throw a more vivid soundstage with a sort of virtual reality
space, but the imaging is, for sake of comparison, better
than the Aerial 10Ts I once owned, and on par/better than my
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors. The Melas are more natural and
pleasing (significantly) than both of these pretty good
speakers.

My room is large-ish, about 22 feet by 13 feet, but I do sit nearfield and have them on the long wall. It may not be relevant here and I have never come into contact with any other Lahave than my own, but fit/finish/build quality/sturdyness is as good as I have ever seen. Every bolt, seam, surface feature (and symmetry-factor) looks perfect to me no matter how close I examine them. They do best with neutral amplification and they do like tubes somewhere in the chain, and they scale with a better food chain, although solid state is very good also. They are revealing but not ruthlessly so. I have a tube preamp and a solid state power amp. (I use a nonwarmish Psvane 6NS7 tube in my preamp for best results; I am a Psvane tube fan.)
The Melas are NOT dull speaker--the highs are very present and soar, but they do not sting at all. I like the highs much better than my old Kharma 3.2FEs, which could be painful. The Kharmas were imaging champs, with a total disappearing act even with one speaker driven, but it came at a cost of some fatiguing highs. Overall tonality is definitely preferable to me in the Lahaves over the Kharmas.

Yeah, just to give a perspective, for the last 15 years or so I've always gone to the NY shows and would always have a good listen to the well known midsize reasonably priced floorstanders/Monitors that would regularly be there that I really liked and actually felt, yep, these are all pretty good, different from each other and I could live with them. These were (in various versions) the Von Schweikert VR4, Merlin VSM, Joseph RM7 or RM33, or the Dynaudio C1s.

They all had some important consistent strong points I mentally noted year after year (VSR vocals/rounded mids/sweet highs/percussion, Merlin openness/bass/ambience, Joseph coherency and natural driverless sound, and Dynaudio dynamics and solid bass).

But somehow the Lahaves, have a more compelling emotional and live sound that makes it significantly preferable to any one of these, the ability to draw me in with no hint of abuse, even if one of the above technically beats in in one of the areas of strength I noted. So for me, the Lahaves are the champ here.
