The 5's should work fine in your room, but listen to both in your room if possible. I listened to both in the same room, same components and music and determined which one I liked better for the type of music I listen to. Newer doesn't mean better. Some folks prefer the 7 and others the 5. No right or wrong answer here.
Is my room big enough for the Harbeth HL5's?
My room is 12 ft. x 15 ft. with 8 ft. ceilings. I do have corner bass traps and absorbent panels on the side walls for the first reflection point. I own the 7es3 right now and they work very well in this room.
The problem is this. I heard the hl5's at Fidelis this weekend in a room a little larger than mine and fell in love right away with the hl5's. I am currently using a Bryston 4bsst (which I will probably be selling soon for a warmer amp. I am also using a DeHavilland Ultraverve lll which I love. I will most likely buy the hl5's. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
