Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?


These speakers have their devotees to be sure, but it looks like a lot of people are falling OUT of love with them. It's a trend I've noticed here on Audiogon. Opinions?

'like the 30.1 for $12,000 plus'

where did you see that price!!??
Hello Sunnyjim. the M30.1s have always been $5695–$6390 (per pair, depending on finish)
I've personally never seen them advertised as anything else.
Now that you know the correct price.I hope you'll be able to judge them a little differently.
Sunnyjim you are of course entitled to you opinion that the Harbeths are unfairly priced.
In my case as I honestly preferred the $5695 M30.1s (UK made and imported thus causing inevitable extra costs to the US consumer) to the $26k (US made) Magico Q's I inevitably have a slightly different view as to whether the Harbeths are overpriced or not.

..of course I know its not really fair to contrast these speaker price alone. We shouldn't forget the Magico's do of course include the stands .
