Harbeth P3ESR SE vs 7ES2 w/ LFD


Hi everyone,

When in doubt... ask the experts. I have an LFD LE Mk IV SE integrated amplifier and wish to upgrade my speakers from a P3ESR SE to the older 7ES2; is this good idea- or should I be content with my current set up? LFD interconnects and Spiroflex cabling in the near future. Has anyone heard of any Spendor or Avalon monitors with the LFD. Would this be a better option. I love what I have; so something similar or 'larger' in performance is all I am trying to achieve.

Thank you in advance...

If it's a good idea to you, it's a good idea. The larger speakers will definitely sound bigger/more open, if that's what you are looking for.

I own 7es3's, tried them with LFD - not a fan personally, but if you like it with the P3's I'm sure you'll like it with the 7's. I also own little Spendor s3/5's and previously owned the A5. LIke them quite a bit - a little less dynamic - perhaps slightly more laid back. Very good, just different.
I'm using a Mastersound Compact 845. If I were to go solid state I'd likely move to a hybrid - Unison, Pathos.
