Zek4u, did you audition the Compact7ES3's? I am about to purchase a pair of either them or the Harbeth's you purchased I have concluded the P3ESR's image better, but the Compact 7's go lower and louder. I am leaning towards the Compact 7's for bass and flexibility to use in a larger room in the future and not need a sub. Congratulations on your P3ESR's. The new radial drivers in them make those speakers ones to truly to hang on to for life. If I may be politically incorrect, Merry Christmas to you and yours!
