While I have Harbeth 30.2 XDs, I have to agree with the earlier posts that so much of the sound depends on the other elements of your system. When I upgraded to my Koetsu, the experience changed. Same thing happened when I changed my phono stage and once again with a recent amplifier and preamp switch.
At each stage, the Harbeths have been up to the task and continue to bring me a great deal of pleasure with each LP I play.
