Harbeth 40.3xd vs Graham LS5/5


Has anybody heard both the Harbeth 40.3 and the Graham LS5/5
i think the 40.3 has a more pronounced mid range - but i would live to hear thoughts if someone has heard both these speakers.

@jjss49 i have indeed read the seminal papers and understand the concept of the slots.
my question really is posed to someone who has heard both the speakers.
Sorry i dint mean to ask a hard question - it was a real desire to know the diff :) i find there is little in terms of comparisons between thr top end BBC (ish) type speakers. So its the usual questions for around $22k Which one is the better buy? How do they compare? Etc etc. its becoming increasingly hard to hear these speakers back to back so the only option is to ask, and then try to set up a comparison for one self.
For $20k Grahams aren’t ubiquitously reviewed....specially the 5/5’s. 
Hence the hard q :)
Hi @alucard19 - appreciate your pov. Have u heard the Ls5/5 and the Harbeths as well ?
@alucard19 now that is a proper curve ball :)
so based on your listening its atc scm50 > ls5/5 > 40.3
I dont think anybody is debating that there is nothing like listening. However given the current circumstances its not possible to listen.....hence the question to compare. @twoleftears  - u purchased the 40.2 but  couldnt listen to the 5/5 and that is unfortunate.
