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?

Alan Shaw would probably bristle at the OP describing his Harbeth speakers as euphonic - he’s aiming for naturalness and low coloration.

Harbeth speakers certainly have smooth even response and tend to have some warmth in the lower mids/bass - The broad mids sound pretty true though. I owned 3 different models. Ultimately I sought more dynamics and liveliness. I recall one (Harbeth) retailer describing them as "sleepy".
