Sorry to write , the Harbeths were a waste of time , other than just having the experience of knowing the "
unfatiguing character
" is another way of saying "boring" . Who ever came up with the description " not fatiguing " was trying to be nice . I suppose in the recording studio you'd want a neutral sounding speaker , that makes sense , I guess .
After all , the whole idea of studio recordings is to make it sound the best way that is acceptable and not over the top . , But ya gotta start with something neutral , and add to that , I guess . Not sure how that works .Besides , I do not think what you are hearing is a
natural presentation
.It's a studio's engineer's idea of what he wants you to hear .Or maybe you think what you hear is the
natural presentation
that's intended . lol.If you were in an auditorium , watching a movie , do they use a
natural sounding system ?? , They do not .I added a center channel so I could better hear the details , like voices .Klipsch adds a degree of excitement , engagement .Harbeth adds boredom .I purchased the Harbeth from reading reviews and others experiences and now I have my own experience , luckily , I sold them for the same price I paid
