Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus?


If there is a clear difference would anyone care to discuss?
They are so close in price I’ve often wondered what place they serve in the line-up.

PS: Don’t know why Audiogon system put extra words in thread title.

@gunners01 - you’re always welcome to come by and listen to them at my house to see what these speakers are capable of. IMO, and from what I remember when I heard it at your place, the LM amp is not doing enough justice to the SHL5+. I tried the speakers with my other tube amp (Raven Audio Blackhawk), and they sounded like a completely different speaker, and not in a good way.

I don’t listen to hard rock or post-punk, but for almost all other genres these speakers are breathtaking. You’re more than welcome to visit :)
@gunners01 -- It's great to hear that you're finally getting the results with PrimaLuna. The SHL5+ are some of the best speakers I've heard and definitely scale with better amplification. Having said that, given your preferred musical genres, I still feel that you'd be happier with SS class A, but then again I've not heard the speakers with Primaluna so I might be wrong. Good luck!
