Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT

its a shame I dont have the room to keep both.....

I wish I could audition the Quattro but decided to leave it up to resale gods and if can get fair price will sell the harbeth.

I played Tinariwen last nite on the 40.2 and sounded sweet so if doesn't sell already a happy camper

Thanks for everyone’s input.

I previously had 73s3 harbeth speakers and liked them too.

I have heard the vandy 5A and enjoyed it but it’s too big for my moderate sized long but somewhat narrow room where I listen in midfield. I listen approx 9 feet from speakers. Speakers are a little bit over 2 feet from side walls and roughly 3.5 feet from back wall.

I am looking at having to spend 5-6K to upgrade to new Quattro CT installed with balanced adapters.

I might regret the move for sure ....but life’s an adventure

I will try a different preamp then the pass xp32 first see if that makes me less inclined to sell the Harbeth
