Spendors comparable to Harbeth C7ES3?

Good advice, thanks.

I guess my impression of Harbeths is that they have great midrange, excellent for voice and they are very musical.

I like blues, small group jazz and other instrumental music mostly. I also like some pop and classic rock music.

I have a medium size family room. My current system is a Linn Unidisc-SC, 5125 and activ Ninka speakers. My only criticism is that the system is a little clinical, especially at low volumes.

If I were to make a change I would favor small to medium stand mounts (for WAF concerns) that are good at low to medium volumes. Also would probably keep the unidisk maybe with a non-Linn amp.

Harbeths seem to fit the bill, but are a little above my budget. And of course this impression is without the benefit of hearing them in person.

So, any other ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks Meiwan and Donjr.

Is it safe to assume that the C7ES3 is more full range than the S3/5R2? The S3/5R2 seems more directly comparable to the P3ESR based on it's size and price.

As you move up the Spendor classic line to the SP3/1R2 and SP2/3R2 the price is more on par with the C7ES3. I guess the Spendors aren't necessarily a better value, but more equivalent with subtle differences the voicing.

WRT the Majik 140s: I'm really looking for standmounts, and to get away from needing 6 or 8 amp channels and aktiv cards to get the best from the speakers.
