In the end, after two listening sessions, I was pretty sure that I would find the 3Fs fatiguing in long listening sessions. What was intriguing was the way I could hear the wood and bow of the viola in one of my audition tracks. But in my own listening the Harbeths were even more revealing, with a much less fatiguing sound, solid bass and a stunningly realistic sound of voice and small ensembles. So Harbeths it is for me.
