Harbeth 40.3 and 40.2 Anniversary

I have seen some older threads as well as Googled this topic. Can anyone share experiences of these two to each other, or share their opinion of the "updated" sound of the 40.3 in terms of the treble (bright). or if it has lost that Harbeth midrange? Any comparisons as well in terms of tone compared the Graham LS5/5? I did hear that speaker this weekend and it wasn't set up properly in the store, but still liked how they sounded.

It is so difficult to hear the. 40.3's. I live in SC and planned a drive up to NJ. I called pretty much every Harbeth dealer between NC, VA, DC/MD and NJ and no one has one to try out. Definitely frustrating.

TIA.

This month's Absolute Sound has the yearly Editors' Picks feature.  One editor picked the 40.3's and previously owned the 40.2A's.  His comments on the differences between the two are pretty much identical to arafiq's.  Apparently the special material (Radian?) that they have used for the mid-range driver is now used for the woofer too.
