Harbeth 40.3 XD versus Harbeth 40.2

If there is a significant difference between the 40.1 and the 40.2 then why would you assume that the 40.3’s would be less significant? If you haven’t heard them, well you know what Felix said about assuming things. Just sayin.

And the Super Duper Duper Duper 40.5’s might just shake the ground you walk on. It wouldn’t be bad if Harbeth published the changes but they seem to leave their upgrades without technical specifics, just price increases. pdreher does make a point, maybe they hit their delta on performance. My only issue is that the 40 series monitors are so huge and in all honesty, cabinet designs from the 60’s are yesterdays news. Maybe an updated form factor would catipult them to another level.

I hear ya Rox, The 40 series were way too big for the room so I opted for a pair of SHL5+'s and have them sitting on B&W 8"subs. I think the sound quality, especially mid range drivers are phenomenal.
Not sure that the price jump from the 5's to the 40's really makes sense. 6K too 18K is a big jump.
