Are Harbeths really "all that?"


Hi,

I am not actually in the market for new speakers (heck, I just GOT new speakers) but I am intrigued, lately, reading about the Harbeth line on this forum. Are those little Harbeths (their "entry level," can't remember the model number right now) as fabulous as most reviewers seem to suggest? What kinds of music do they excel at? What kind of power do they need?

The HL 5's can be a musical transducer with less than state of the art components and /or recordings...it should also cost about $1500 pair. It IS a moderm day version of the Bozak B313 large bookshelf design. A pair of Maggie 3.6R's with well designed components and cables will allow you to experience the full dynamic envelope of your favorite recordings in a most realistic and natural manner...you just need to have the space and the deep appreciation of music to be heard as it was intended. :O)
