KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system?

bbarlow690, any updates on the Harbeths?I’m interested to know what you think as I’m still undecided about buying them. 

I’m scheduled to audition the P3 anniversary model next week. I’ve already heard the LS50 several times and was impressed so we’ll see what happens. Since the P3 is more than double the cost of the LS50 they’ll have to sound significantly better to me. 
The thing that concerns me with the Kefs is the potential for listening fatigue as they are quite forward sounding. 

That’s very good to hear. I’m going to give the Harbeths a listen just to satisfy myself that I don’t prefer their sound, otherwise I’d always have doubts. 
I’ll let you know. 
Thanks

I now have the Harbeth P3 40th at home for a trial audition. I was hoping that I would prefer the LS50's and save $1500 but so far I'm loving the P3's and they're not broken in yet. I'll give it a little more time just to be sure but I think I'll be keeping them. 

No change. I still really like them. As compared to the LS50 I would describe them as more subtle, precise, maybe more delicate with more inner detail. And as everyone says, the midrange is great. Voices especially. They really come into their own with high quality recordings.
The question is, are they worth more than double the price of the LS50? I'm not sure bout that. If my budget was tight I'd say no. The LS50 is really good. But I do prefer the Harbeths and so I'll be keeping them.
I'm running them with a subwoofer by the way. Without it they might not quite do it for me.
Hope that helps.
