The JBL is like a Rollercoaster. In your face exhilarating, fun, but rocks your brains and you feel fatigued after riding them for awhile. So depends what you want. If you want serious engaging vocal and musical reproduction that you can listen to for hours, keep the Harbeth. If that doesn’t float your boat then look elsewhere and JBL is as good as any.
JBL 43xx va Harbeth 40.x
I owned a pair of Harbeth 40.1, and recently listened to a pair of JBL 4343. While I really like the Harbeth, I also like the JBL very much. To the best of its own, the JBL sounds more dynamic, more lively, and bigger slam at the bass. The Harbeth is one word - smooth.
I think for vocal, Harbeth wins. But JBL will be able to play all kinds of music, I feel. What do people think comparing them? Which one do you prefer and why?
