Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?


I've looked far and wide especially for bookshelf speakers with prominent full mids and a lush sound. So far the only name that comes up is harbeth. Maybe Sonus faber but are there other speakers that have similar tone but are made by a different company?

@secretguy not every audiophile is focused on accuracy. And everyone has their own personal preference for what resonates with them the most sonically. There is no need to disparage others who think differently than you.

@steve59 bought a used haydn grand, its coming.

I am also going to get a pair of Gato- FM8 to try.

Just got the Haydn grands yesterday and definitely its much smoother, warmer, relaxed and musical compared to ATC. I find the ATC a bit thin sounding versus the Haydn. Will keep listening.

@larryi @rocray  Did you find the boxer to be smooth, warm and musical or more precise and fast. I read a review calling it 'electrostatic like'.

I got a used pair of Vienna acoustics Haydn grands coming in. Will let you guys know how it sounds.

Darko's recent review of the buchardt s400 mk2 makes me want to also try s300 mk2.

@roxy54  I don't think he evaluated the haydn grand. It was the mozart and just a speaker called grand.

@larryi  Thanks! My friend who has the big nolas also recommended the boxers but hes never heard them.

Ok guys, thinking of using lower power SET amps. Any warmer high sensitivity speakers you'd recommend?
