Consider KEF Reference 1. I like them better than my harbeth super HL5 plus. And I love those. I had a pair of Focal Electra 1008 BE. Nice speakers, but not in the same league as the KEFs or Harbeths.
Warm romantic & detailed
Good morning Gentlemen & ladies...
I'm just starting to toy with idea of replacing my Focal 1038's... No matter how I treat my room, or what equipment I throw at it I just can't seem to tame the harsh highs on this speaker.
I'd like to stay in the same price range of the Electra's (7/8k), I don't mind buying used, the musts for me at this point are: Warm, romantic, yet detailed... It would be beautiful to just sit and listen and not have ear fatigue after 15 minutes of listening.
Can you please recommend something?

I've only heard the 40.2s (amazing!), so can't comment on the differences between .1, .2 and .3, but I would be surprised if they were significant. I'd suggest checking out the Harbeth User Group - https://www.harbeth.co.uk/usergroup/. There may be some folks there that have heard the different versions. |
