Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre

interesting stuff.  i currently have the harbeth C7ES3 and love them but was impressed by the Calibre at the AXPONA audio show in Chicago.  they will definitely play loud and clean with lots of punch but the program material was not broad enough to provide a full range demo.  
I really cannot lose the clarity and musical timbre that the Harbeth's provide but I was impressed with the Calibres enough to seek them out for a demo, which I will do.
The other thing is they are bi-amp compatible, which makes thing interesting for the ultimate in volume and dynamic capability.  
Keep those listening impressions of the Calibre coming.....

good thoughts and I am carefully considering the plan for my next upgrade.  
i have a decent sub and it sounds great but to get it to play the bass with the most impact I would need to high-pass the main speakers, something I am not willing to do.  
the Harbeth SHL5+ are on the list as well, I love their sound but they are more challenging to bi-amp.  
The Legacy's on paper have the potential to be an incredibly dynamic performer- because of their efficiency and because bi-amping is an easy deal because the crossover for the woofer low pass is a very low 400Hz.  as long as they have the transparent, open sound that I am after could be the winner.    

while i prefer the sound of the harbeths, more natural and much more forgiving yet plenty detailed, the legacy calibres are different but quite excellent.  
the biggest difference is that you can put some serious wattage into them with biamping.  it isnt like trying to biamp a two way with an amp for just the tweeter.  one amp would drive the large midrange and tweeter, the other amp the woofer and passives.  crazy excellent bass is possible.  
they also come in active amplification mode as well, although i did not care for the occasional unforgiving sound of the class D active amp driving the ribbon tweeter.
