Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s

I'm hoping someone has done some of the work for me. I've upgraded everything else and now I'm back trying to improve on my Harbeth 30.1s. The issue is space. I need either another stand mount or a small floor stander with a similar footprint because of my listening space. I'm 8 feet from the speakers, so it's near field listening. I'm generally happy with the Harbeths but I'm hoping to squeeze out some extra dynamics and bass without sacrificing tonality. Especially interested in anyone that has done listening tests with the 30.1 vs other speakers.

The 30.2 XD is the same as the 30.2 anniversary with more choices on the finish. A good buddy of mine owned the 30.2 anniversary and sold them after six months. They are not everyone’s cup of tea!

I have owned the Harbeth 30.1, Compact 7 and the P3ESR. The P3ESR is the one that I like better than the larger Harbeths. I’ve also owned many other speakers but I always go back to the smaller P3 in my 20x15 listening room!!

Here are some comments on the M30.1 that I happen to agree with!
