Just today, I packed up my beloved 40.1's and replaced them with 40.2 Anni's. I concur the 40.2's have "drier" less prodigious bass and less warmth (more neutral) to my ears vs. the 40.1's. Initially I missed the warmth of the 40.1's, but was able to bring all of the warmth back by swapping out Gold Lion KT88's with some RAM EL34's... now the warmth is back and the transparency and detailed imaging is even more impressive with the 40.2 Anni's vs. their predecessor. Small incremental steps of improvement, but noticeable improvement nonetheless!
Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not
I've owned my Harbeth 40.1's for about 4 years and absolutely LOVE them.
The only speakers I've considered replacing them with are the 40.2's, and while I've dreamed of getting a pair, I really never felt like I needed anything more than the 40.1's. They are SO good!
Well, after a great year for my business along with a great opportunity to buy a pair of 40.2 Anniversary model speakers, I've decided to pull the trigger.
I'm posting this mostly because I can hardly contain my excitement and wanted to share it with you, but I'm also looking for feedback from others who've made this same move.
Everything I've read about the 40.2 model has been overwhelmingly good. I do not expect to be disappointed.
Thanks!
