Dynaudio C-1 or Harbeth-7-es-III

I know these 2 speakers are not the same price but the C-1 is usually available on Audiogon for around 4000.00. The price of the Harbeth is 3500.00 new. I never see this model of Harbeth available used. So considering they are about the same price which one would you buy.I'm running all tube gear and a analog front end.

Its best to have some space in between the walls & the harbeths.
Too close to the walls can sometimes be a bit too bloaty or fullsome.

If you need to put your C7s near a wall, it's not really a problem. I have my C7ES3s about a foot from a wall because of necessity. If you put some thick padding on the wall behind the speakers the sound will be improved enormously.
