I’ve owned both brands. A true comparision for the Falcon LS3/5A would be the Harbeth P3ESR. I have owned every Harbeth minus the M40. I am now using the HL5 and it is my favorite larger Harbeth. I must say that the P3ESR is also an outstanding Harbeth if you want a smaller speaker! This is one of many reviews on the P3 that nails it!
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!!

If you are set on getting the Falcons, last year I bought the Falcon Q7. They are sold factory direct from Falcon for well under 2 grand shipped, no tax or VAT is charged when shipped to USA. If you shoot Jerry Bloomfield (owner) an email he will give you the total price with the options that you want including the gold badge X over. You can get the kit or factory assembled. I received them within one week after ordering them!! https://www.falconacoustics.co.uk/q7-completeathome-loudspeaker-system.html |
