Harbeth Super HL 's Loudspeakers


......would like some input on these speakers if possible. My room is 14 feet across - and my current speakers - Avalon Eclipse are against this wall...and the length of the room is 31 feet and my chair is about 12 feet in the middle - the room has been treated with all ASC as per their instructions. Esoteric P-05 and D-05 front end with Classe Delta amp and pre-amp. The Avalon's I love, but have had them almost 10 years and have heard nice things about the musicality of the Harbeth's ....the 40.1's are too much money so I was wondering about the HL5's. Seraching again at this point in my life ...your thoughts

Just a thought, have you tried pulling the Eclipses out into the room since you have 31 feet there, and see what happens?

I can relate to your thought though, I sold my B&W Silver Signatures after nine years, not because I didn't like them, but I just wanted to change.

I have heard both the Eclipses and the HL5s and really liked both. So although I might not be of a certain kind of help, I will say that the HL5s should be auditioned next to your Eclipses to see which you prefer.

In the size of room that you have, I would like to see you also audition the Thiel 2.4s and Maggie 3.6Rs. I personally liked both of those better than the HL5s.
