I have the 30.2s, although I cannot compare them with the Falcons, I can say I compared them with speakers up to $14k and still brought them. I listen to a lot of vocal, acoustic, blues and jazz, plus a very small amount of classical. I have posted elsewhere here that if you like very hard rock, you will be disappointed.
I have a Rega p6, luxman integrated, and an Aurender.
I did add a sub (JL audio) which although probably not necessary, did add to the fullness and blends so well it just sounds like all the bass is coming from the 30.2s.
I’ve had that basic setup for about 2 years and listen to music every day for hours.
my experience, hope it helps.
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
I started my speaker search convinced I should was going to get the Falcon Gold Badges (Madrone 50th Anniversary) been waiting for over a month, which left me too much time to think about other options. Now considering the 30.2 XDs from Harbeth.
I wanted to get some opinions from the experts here on which you would recommend. To give you an idea of my listening habits, it's mostly classic Jazz and Blues, acoustic music. I sit about 8 feet from speakers, have a Sugden Integrated, a Rega P10, Hana Red Cart. I am auditioning Phonos stages so thats undecided.
Let's hear it!!
