Harbeth 40's.. if they are so good.....then why ?

I am slowly re-entering into the new speakers arena after 6 years with the current pair. A seven year itch maybe...but I have read and ''heard'' so much about Harbeth particularly the 40's. These are not inexpensive speakers by any means and was wondering why if these are supposed to be that good, why don't I see more of them around. Is it because they are considreed having a ''monitor sound''.....but, isn't that a good thing as they reproduce exactly what is and isn't there on a recording ? Or, are they cold and analytical sounding ? These are on my short list of maybe's.
