I was literally minutes from purchasing the Special 40's...

...when Shaun on YouTube brought out the MoFi LS3/5a's, I did some research, and now I'm torn. This midrange sound is what I've been seeking ever since I heard a pair of Proac SC1's back in the day. Would I get more of that midrange magic/reality from a LS3/5a ?... and if that's the right choice, should I spend the $3000 on a Gold Badge Falcon?

If you want one of the best LS3/5a type of speaker I would spend the 3 grand on these! I’ve owned many LS3/5a type of speakers and IMO the Harbeth is the best of the lot!

This is the last line in John Atkinsons review of the Harbeth P3ESR. BTW, I happen to agree with him!

I love the Harbeth P3ESR. I think it’s the best iteration yet from any manufacturer of the BBC LS3/5A minimonitor concept.

This is the full review!
