It is really a bit shocking, even by the ridiculous prices of high end gear that we are all accustomed to, to look at the price increases in the Harbeth 40 since its introduction. I don't know what the opening price was, but when it was introduced, one of the writers for the Absolute Sound used them as his reference. A year or two later, they received a rave review from enjoythemusic.com. and at that time I believe that they were $6,995.00.
So how did the price get to where it is now with only minor changes? I guess because it really is one of the finest speakers around, and they realized that they had underpriced it from the outset. Too bad though...I would love to own a pair.
