I have owned a few different Harbeth’s. The original SHL5, the original 40, the 30th Anniversary SHL5 and the SHL5+. In every case I found the older versions more musical than the updated versions. The newer versions may have been more accurate but they were not as enjoyable to listen to.
I have gone back to Vandersteen speakers. This is just my opinion and not a knock on Harbeth as I spent 10 years listening to the various models. YMMV and your ears should be your decision makers. Good Luck!
