Harbeth P3ESR or Monitor 30?

Agree with Yogiboy on this one .  Having owned both the P3s and the C7s, I found the P3s to be clearer and more open sounding.  The C7s, were a bit muddier though the midrange due to the port and the box resonance.   Both are beautiful speakers, but the P3 is a startlingly good monitor.  And the bass was more than enough in my 12x15 room.  Can't imagine you'd be disappointed in any way by going with the P3s.

Yep, I think the line "For those who tell you that these little monitors do not deliver bass below a certain frequency I say stop listening to Hertz and start listening to music" says it all.

I bet they sound fantastic with the Quicksilver amps.  I found that they sound good with damn near anything, but high-quality amplification really brings them to another level.  

Tony,

Let us know how it sound when you get it all hooked up - I think you'll be amazed, especially when paired with such a great amp.

I wish I could give you further input, but I haven't heard the M30s, only the C7s.  Yogiboy makes a good point - you could compare them side by side, and then keep the one you prefer.  A bigger investment up front, but Harbeths sell very quickly used.  And you'd never doubt your choice if you compare them.

I have just recently come to the LFD-Harbeth match, and I think it's astonishing.  I have the P3esr paired with the LFD LE V and an LFD LE/SE phono stage.  It's hard to believe this is not a tubed system with the dimensionality and tonal purity that it produces.  I am tempted to audition the C7s or the M30.1 to get a little more bass and a slightly higher volume range.  I had the C7s a while back paired with a Naim 5i-2, and it was a wonderful sounding system.  However, it didn't produce much center fill - I was always aware I was listening to two separate speakers.  If nothing else, I have discovered I am a huge fan of the British sound - I have really enjoyed every product I've tried by Naim, Exposure, Harbeth, Spendor, LFD, and Croft.
