Harbeth 30.1, 30.2, XD

I have 30.1s. Is there an actual sound difference between them and the 30.2 or XDs? I’ve searched around but I can’t seem to find an answer.

If you favor warm, stick with the ones you've got.

In the impossibility of me auditioning them, I ended up with Harbeth 40.2s, which I'm enjoying very much.

For me, it was streets better than the D7 that I also heard that same afternoon. It was just pipped by the 40.2. Vu of Deja Vu (Wash DC) says the earlier incarnations of the '100 were better.
