Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ?

Just reading so much good write ups on the Harbeth speaker lines I was wondering if they will work for rock music.

Now Monitor 30) if you use it with subwoofer. However, it's too good to listen to Rock, dance & metal music with this.(I am using JM lab 926 for those kind of music.) Also, Harbeth doesn't produce such tight & focused bass and Ear bleeding treble. It tends to produce all kinds of music very mellow, listenable & naturally.(She is like Meryl Strip(Spell???) not Brun Hilda...) If you listen to Rock music mainly, I suggest buying other types of speakers such as JBL having 12inch woofers, etc. Hope this helpful & happy listening! Hans

IMHO, I disagree with JM Labs ear-bleed speakers being good with rock music. At least on the rock music I listen to.
