Harbeth 30.2 XD Vs Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th anniversary


Does anybody have experience comparing the sound of the above mentioned two bookshelf speakers, especially when driven by a solid, mid-fi SS integrated amp/dac/streamer (NAD c399 with the bluesound module)? Music would mainly be classic jazz/bebop/blues and jazz vocals, with a touch of classic rock (e.g., Stones, The Who, Zepplin ).  
This would be for a second system in room that is about 10x20 ft, but most listening will be near-field, ~6-8ft from the speakers, which I would mount on stands. 

I’d love to be able to audition both pairs in my space, but probably will not be able to do that. So, any observations, general or specific, will be very much appreciated.

May I ask why just these two justifiably well-regarded loudspeakers? Have you considered Revel PerformaBe M126Be (or the small floor standing F226Be), KEF R3 or Reference One, Arendal 1528, or Philharmonic BMR? Or active speakers (Genelec or Neumann)?

Edited to add Fritz loudspeakers.
