Piggybacking on Twoleftears’ remark, Harbeth recently hired Terry Miles who had worked at Spendor for decades and was responsible for all their designs over that period of time. I have owned over a dozen Spendor loudspeakers over the years, including the pair of Classic 2/3’s I currently own, and if you have kept up with the progression of those designs, especially the newest A, D and Classic series, you know Terry has incrementally moved Spendor from a somewhat classic British sound to one that is more immediate, being highly transparent and detailed, yet at the same time retaining a high level of musicality. Even though Alan Shaw would probably say it’s the other way around, I think Harbeth brought him on board to do the same thing, albeit with perhaps a bit more oversight and collaboration. Just a guess.
