Harbeth Speakers

No matter what Alan Shaw says, Harbeth's love high power and current. I love his speakers but found his advice on 25 plus watts to be a waste of time and money. He has everyone on the hug eating out of his hand. Don't go there. Find out for yourself. Remember, he sells speakers. If he told everyone his speakers sounded best with a 200 watt amp, a lot of people would be turned off. His largest following is in Asia where Leben, Luxman and Accuphase are prevalent. He can't stir the waters there. You'll want the power if you move up the line, regardless of music preference and listening levels.

I agree with Donjr's comments in regard to Harbeth/HUG. Harbeth designs wonderful speakers. I am a proud owner the P3esr's and the new the 30.1''s and I am thrilled with their performance. Unfortunately for me ,I found the HUG site and Harbeth's designer to be mean spirited, petty and condescending to anyone who does not fall in line with the Harbeth designers believes and enormous ego . Politely disagree with or question the Harbeth designers mantra and be prepared to spoken down too , reprimanded , edited , moderated, chastised by the "Great " designer himself and bullied and mocked by the dozen or so regular posters who literally worship the ground the designer walks on. In a recent post ,the designer expressed surprise that HUG had many readers but far fewer posters their contributing opinions. ???? The designer regularly mocks and questions the integrity of audio reviewers on HUG , but does not hesitate to post their positive reviews on the Harbeth website to help promote his product .
