Comparison of Devore silverbacks vs harbeth 40.1


Started to look at the harbeth 40.1 compared to my silverbacks, has anyone compared the two. I am looking for a fuller more forgiving speaker with a tube amp in a 21by 22 room. The only problem is that the speakers need to be about 18 inches from the back wall and 20 inches from the sides .

While the 40.1 definitely fit the bill in regards to sounding full bodied and forgiving, I'm not sure they'd be optimal for you given your limited placement considerations. I'd be concerned the bass would be over-emphasized and they'd sound boomy. If you can be flexible with speaker placement, I think they'd be a good fit for what you are looking for. I love mine and drive them effectively with a VAC 30/30 in a 15' x 21' room.

I have no experience with the Daedalus, but they do sound intriguing and have a very loyal following... but you'd have to buy new, as it's very rare that they come avaialable on the used market.
