Ryan Brothers fit the bill.
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?

@smodtactical I know they are not top-drawer or high dollar speakers BUT I wonder if you might enjoy the new iteration of KLH Model 5. I have them, Arendal Sound 1763 THX Monitor, Polk LS50 (from the 1990s or 80s), and a pair of the original large Advent loudspeakers. The KLH are not as bright as the Arendal Sound speakers can be plus I prefer their midrange (I think). They image and soundstage pretty well. The particular Polk speakers I have are not too bad in the midrange but are not so great at imaging, soundstage & bass. I will always love the OLA but they aren't perfect, I'm just not going to criticize them! |
Iv owned the Harbeth, many years ago. Great British speaker but the Quested Studio Active or passive version all sounded better to my ears with better resolution and dynamics but still kept a warmer smoother tone like the Harbeth. Don’t be fooled just because the Quested are being used in Studio they have the pedigree level to compete with many Audiophile speaker manufactures.
Have a look at the Quested H108 Speakers same monitors Hans Zimmer uses in his studio but i use the same speakers in my music room with OTL Amplifier.
Very musical speakers and very underrated, one reason is Quested don’t actively market their products like audiophile companies do with paid review magazines adverts. |
