To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...


Whether it is nobler in the ear when listening primarily to vocals and acoustic music at 55-65db max?

Whether the 30.2 or the HL5+ produces the most magical sound in a mid sized room?

These are my questions.  

I like British Speakers. Not really sure why. Respect for the the duration of their businesses?
The uppity nature of some of the makers? I enjoy the sound of Tannoy, Harbeth, Graham, ProAc, ATC.

So Friends, Romans, Harbethians please share with me you HB experiences as it relates to low volume
listening. And please explain your passion for black screw heads.

Harbeth C7ES3, had them for about 3 years, when fully broken in they were rich sounding without losing too much detail.  often magical sounding.  
SHL5+ for about a year, perfect for me.  Sensitive to toe in.  More transparent and neutral but still slightly rich and forgiving.  A near perfect balance of transparency and recording forgiveness with a pure, natural life like tone.  No sibilance or edginess.  Finished.
