Harbeth Comparison


I loved the Harbeth Super HL5s at the RMAF. Has anyone compared the HL5 with the Harbeth Monitor 30 and / or 40.1? I am very interested in adding a Harbeth to my system.

Today at Deja Vu audio in McLean VA I listened to several of the Harbeths, from the compact (C73S-3) to the Monitor 30. They all sound great, the compact amazed me ...and I am a fan of small speakers that sound great at low volume. Outstanding sound! The Super HL5 plus is a great speaker too, and a real step up from the compact yet affordable (OK, but not on a typical student or getting started-in-audio budget). The 30 is also a step up and highly desirable. All these were driven by a variety of 6L6 tube amps, great sound match. 

...I gotta get me some. Oh boy, just when I was happy with my current rigs.
