Does Harbeth Have Plans Penetrating PC Market?


With a soundbar?

Most 2.1 computer speakers in the market today sound horrible, and they are usually bulky since most come with a powered subwoofer. Soundbars are discrete and do not create clutter but are seriously compromised in terms of bass and clarity.

I was looking at this Edifier soundbar.

Looking at this tiny piece I wager the sound would be tinny as well.

Does anybody have any idea if Harbeth have thoughts of venturing into the computer market by producing a soundbar or something? A soundbar with dual 1.25" Radial drivers taking power off the USB port of a computer.

Ryder, I know of many pc users already using 3's...
Why would dear Alan want to challenge that?
Dear Alan was so worn out with his last development that he didn't play music for months... (although he can't do squat on his own- its Derrick Hughes that does the work) that I hardly think he'll muster the strength to devise a computer bar...or have Derrick do it...
Odd comment, mr cake head, I have a pr of Harbeths at home.. Have for years.... And if someone said here's a new pr of Harbeth 5's and that's all you get the rest of your life I'd be quite content...
My snarkiness to Alan S is merely tongue in cheek, like many on here know Alan's marketing and protective ways...
Also, I did give a positive recommendation to the OP for the 3's...and it's true, many are using them in just that context...
Meh.
