Difference between Harbeth SHL5 and SHL5 35th Anniversary model

There isn't one, not in sonic terms.

The Anniversary models are there to get the suffering audiophiles (with their constant demands for "better" cabling and "better" connectors) off Alan Shaw's back, at least for a while.

Mr Shaw's views on the matter are well known but alas constantly fall upon deaf ears, at least for a vociferous minority.

The additional finish options may also appeal to some.

For further info you could also try the Harbeth website.

Thanks cd318, but not exactly what I was looking for. Anybody else?

I’m pretty sure the later Harbeth models use the newer RADIAL drivers. You can Email Alan Shaw to verify this!

You can give the importer ( Fidelis ) a call to answer your question!
