Harbeth Owners which model?


I am looking to buy either a M30.1, SHL5, or M40.1. I owned a SHL5 in the past for about 3 years and totally enjoyed it and have regretted ever selling them. Since I sold the SHL5's a few years ago Harbeth has come out with the M30.1 and I wanted any feedback from anyone who has compared the 5's vs. 30.1? Anyone sell their 5's for the 30.1 and why? Lastly I am also interested in the 40.1's my room is 18 x 14 is that big enough to handle the 40.1?

Egoben & Aprica88,

Thanks for your responses. I mostly listen to acoustic music and a lot of female vocals. So the 30.1 would be
ideal for my listening. I have never heard Tannoy's but I am going to make a point to find a dealer carries them.

Anyone compare the 30.1 with the 40.1 or shl5?
Vinnie, that would be great if you could update me on your take of the 30.1 vs shl5's. As stated above I love the Harbeth sound and any listening experience with the 3 models is appreciated.

Tom, your room size is identical to mine so that is a good reference. I am not sure but are you saying that the 40.1 didn't work well in your room? Thanks for your thoughts on the 30.1's.
I appreciate all the feedback from everyone. I have been on vacation for the past week without a computer and see some more great posts. thanks! Any M30 owners?
